It's about writing and doing good with the inspiration God gives me.
One of my favorite lighter moments in the otherwise gritty movie The Dark Knight is when Lucius Fox lets accountant Coleman Reese into his office to discuss Mr. Reese's financial findings, during which Reese implies Bruce Wayne is Batman and tries to blackmail Lucius. The dialogue ended like this: Lucius Fox: [to Reese] Let... Continue Reading →
It has been almost a week since my Father's Day and feels like a good time to share one of the more humorously frustrating lessons I've gotten from my little guy. My latest lesson from what has become a semi-regular ritual of late. Our little toddler has decided that he knows more than we... Continue Reading →
LESSON #2: My little guy is constantly teaching me things. On the eve before Father’s Day, we had a bit of a scuffle at bed time. He usually is a very happy participant in getting on his pajamas and really looks forward to wearing Daniel Tiger, Batman, and other characters to bed. But that night... Continue Reading →
Since Father’s Day is tomorrow, I thought it might be nice to share a couple things I’ve noticed so far as a dad that God used to speak some deeper messages to me. Since He is the Heavenly Father, a lot of my son’s actions and attitudes (he’s a toddler) make me think about my... Continue Reading →

Today I got to watch a favorite movie from my childhood with my little boy, The Lion King. In interest of full disclosure, he’s still a little young for it and ended up playing a lot and occasionally looking up at it. I was glued to it though. There’s something stirring about some of...

Today I read that verse and I think I felt more of its significance than on other casual reads. To explain, I have to digress a little, so stay with me on this. I read this famous passage shortly after I discussed the mole problem I have at my house with my mom. To give... Continue Reading →
I saw a video recently where Ravi Zacharias answered a student at Yale’s question, which was essentially, “Why can’t I just do good? Why do I have to become a Christian?” And Ravi Zacharias answered the question, but I feel like he over-complicated it or at least expressed it in a more esoteric or indirect... Continue Reading →
The other day I was playing around and typed “JESUS” in various fonts and, of course, gave in to the temptation to see the Wingdings font version. Surprisingly, I found the eclectic character set has some pretty deep meaning to be attached to how it represents my Savior’s name: (J) : There is joy in... Continue Reading →
