Chasing Aslan in the Real World
It has been quite a while since I last posted, and my life has changed quite a bit since the last time you read any of my words on here. At its core my life is still the same (married father of two, Jesus follower, fanatical tea drinker, gentleman adventurer, storyteller) but recently things took... Continue Reading →
(I wrote this with thinking it was my turn to give a meditation at church tonight. Whoops. Like everything I write I feel it is of the moment and so, I grant it to you all who follow me here. Enjoy. Be challenged. Be encouraged. Be about the Good Works He has prepared for you.)... Continue Reading →
I was irritated with my son this morning because he took down the Liturgy of the Hours book we read from morning and night and left it downstairs.

It's my first... Continue Reading →
In the depths of his suffering, guilt, and despair at being cut off from the land, his family, and the Lord, Cain grieves. He declares that he is now condemned to be a vagabond and a wander, and whomever finds him will try to kill him because of what he has done. There is... Continue Reading →
On this day two-thousand years ago our Lord and savior was abandoned by His disciples, and betrayed into the hands of the religious and political elite to be falsely accused, mocked, beaten, tortured, and then murdered. He stood utterly alone. It was a night of a long desired final meal, grieving prayer, and watching as... Continue Reading →
