Ha, yup, that'd be me! I'm glad you find it helpful! I took a page out of other non-profits' books. I find it helpful when they do that... so why not!? :)

Happy Easter!

Profile Information

If I could live anywhere... (why?)
Where I am (Lacey, WA, USA) because I love Western Washington and am near family and have great ministry opportunities. Or else Japan, because I would love, were the opportunity to present itself to go there and be a missionary with my wife (and make use of those 8 years of studying the language).
Others describe me as...
Thoughtful, quiet, outside-the-box, crazy, boring, passionate, confused...
I most feel the presence of God when...
The relationship between what I'm doing right now and who I'm doing it for ultimately just "clicks"
I'm passionate about...
Connecting faith and life, loving my family, and being a positive and powerful force in stewardship of God's creation.
In the future, I will be...
Grateful, sad, energized, tired... and most of all loved.
My biggest struggle with discerning/following "my call" is...
My gifts don't fit what people are looking for, so I have to sell myself to someone to hire me (since I have professional ministry training and plenty of debt to show for it). And I have a hard time balancing family, ministry, and whatever else.
A person/people who has/have helped me grow in my faith...
My wife Alena... who has forced me to do things that really make a difference and ask the hard questions rather than taking the easy way out. And Nan Corning, an ex-atheist who taught me more with her questions than anyone has with their answers.
Because of my faith, I...
Manage to keep going and not entirely give up.

Better Questions Blog - Dive (Life on the Way)

I’m Diving in, I’m going deep, in o’er my head I want to be…
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in o’er my head I want to go…
The river’s deep, the river’s wide, the river’s water is alive…
So sink or swim I’m diving in.

Vida en la via (I think) – “Life on the way” – that’s where I am. I don’t know where I’m headed and so much seems to be changing and opening up.

Better Questions Blog - If You Wanted Me

All right, no videos out there for this one so you'll have to track down the song yourself if you want to hear, but this is my current challenge from Todd Agnew (If You Wanted Me, from Better Questions):

I'll admit I'm glad we're not disciples
Out on a lake paralyzed with fright
'Cause I'm afraid I might have laughed at Peter
Until he stepped into that stormy night

If You wanted me to walk on water
Why'd You make this solid ground seem so right?

I'll admit I'm glad I'm not King David

Better Questions Blog - Forgiven and Loved

Alright, this song is less challenging in itself for a Lutheran at least, but I just heard it for the first time and it is Easter and Grace all over. Except read on past the lyrics:

Forgiven & Loved :
Tell me I’m forgiven and loved
‘Cause I hear it from the street corner priests
On how God is love and how man can be clean
But my joy has been on holiday
And my peace has almost passed away
Tell me I’m forgiven and free

CH… Continue

Better Questions Blog - Peace on the Earth

This is a new blog that will take songs (which may or may not be considered Christian) and ask difficult questions related to them from my own perspective. I hope you will take the time to listen, think, and take up the challenge to respond.

The first post is below:

"As long as we say prayers for our children
That we do not pray for others
There won’t be…
And as long as we take offerings for those in need
To appease our guilt over our greed
There won’t be…

There wo… Continue
