"…our practices do not fall short of our beliefs, but are the concrete, material expression of them."

I'm a dad, husband, pastor, gamer, coffee snob, and friend.
For now, this is just a collection of thoughts, musings, and things I find interesting. I hope this can become a place for connection and conversation among parents struggling to do the most important job there is. And maybe to geek out a little bit too :)

"Belief is always a risk, a gamble—an adventure, if you will. The line between faith and doubt is the point of action. You don’t need certainty to obey, just the willingness to risk being wrong."

"We’ve got our way of dealing fairly with our enemies, and God has his. Our way involves retaliation and punishment; his way involves forgiveness. Our way involves equal justice; his way involves disproportionate grace. Our way is to make someone pay with blood; his way is to bleed. Even when Jesus hung on the cross, when God had been insulted to the highest degree imaginable, left naked, humiliated, beaten, and bruised, he said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
