It's about writing and doing good with the inspiration God gives me.
With tomorrow being Father's Day it has me reflecting on how fathers appear in my stories. One of my favorite lines in Veiled Sun is Grandpa McIntyre remembering his son Alverson who died getting him secret intel on Project Alexandria. When I wrote that I was thinking how no matter how old my little... Continue Reading →
In the 905th year of the Middle Era, the painted warriors of the north, or the Bogiáboreia, colluded into a motley group under a chieftain of meager authority. His name was Orthall, and he had twin sons who proved to be equally capable prospects for assuming rule of their people at the end of Orthall’s... Continue Reading →
The other day in a fit of melancholy, I tweeted out, "Today, I realized parenting is the repeated Sophie's choice of preparing your child for life without you and letting them cling to you." That was on day two of my little one being in pre-k. As you can guess a big milestone like that... Continue Reading →
There are few things that produce nearly as much joy as your child saying, "I love you," and knowing it is genuine. Likewise, there are few things as infuriating as that same child ignoring your instructions and then feigning an apology before going right back to what upset you in the first place. Obviously my...

Today we had a birthday party for my little boy. He’s still very young and after his nap took a little while to warm up to the small group who came to celebrate with us. The presents and delicious brownies my wife made helped quite a bit. By about hour two he was giddy... Continue Reading →
If you've been following my posts lately, you've probably noticed there are quite a few, like this one, discussing a lesson I've learned from my son. He's a toddler, so conventional wisdom would say he should be the one doing the learning, but every interaction we have takes on a greater meaning to me.... Continue Reading →
Today I watched the movie The Case for Christ. I won’t go into how I felt about the movie itself or even the arguments it presented, except one which really spoke to me, though probably at tangent from what the movie was intended. At one point Lee Strobel travels all the way from Chicago... Continue Reading →
So, I watched Rogue One: A Star Wars Story recently. As a long-time fan of Star Wars, I have to begin by saying it was everything I wanted The Force Awakens to be. That I liked the movie at all came as a surprise, because for a long time I held a healthy level of... Continue Reading →
