#theunlikelymissionary is going back to africa!
I'm telling you now, I'm gonna be a wreck. Has it really been four and a half years since my first mission trip to Africa? That trip broke me in ways I never could have imagined. It changed the course of my life forever. It lit a fire in me not only for global...

My husband and I will celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary on Wednesday. On Friday, I'll remove my diamond rings. Not to worry, though. It's only temporary. I've had my flu shot, popped my first malaria pills, and packed last year's Cipro just in case. I'm making a...
last things
I am surprised my daughter didn’t think about what I assumed was obvious. She lifts a clean plate from the dishwasher, places it on top of the stack on the kitchen counter; among cans of pumpkin and a warm crock pot simmering with pulled pork for dinner. Holding a...
three musicians you should know
I'm trying to come down from a Frio River high after four days at Laity Lodge in the Hill Country of Texas with members of The High Calling. On second thought, I don't want to come down. I want to immerse myself in the sounds of running water and a crackling fire, the...

Had a great time this afternoon with the #EYCmountdora youth and others from around the @cfdiocese at @greatscottfarms for the Fall Festival and corn maze!
Sometimes it`s good to just get out in the fresh air on an awesome (Florida) Fall day and just have some fun.

"Avoid wrangling over words…" — Paul`s advice to Timothy sounds like it was written for social media in 2025. 📱
He reminds us that endless arguing does no good but only ruins those who are listening.
The call is clear: handle truth with integrity, not hostility.
Because our world doesn`t need more noise — it needs clarity, rooted in Christ. 🙏

Another Blessing of the Stage is in the books! 🙏
This is a really cool event that I get to help run a couple times per year at Mount Dora High School before their big productions.
I feed them chicken nuggies, then we grab candles and gather on the stage.
I shared with them the words of Saint Paul as he writes about how we are different members of one body. It`s this kind of community perspective that makes what they do special. When every member plays their part, it creates something magical!
Then I prayed a prayer for a theater performance with them, something that`s becoming a big part of this tradition.
And then the special part happened as they spoke words of truth and gratitude and blessing over one another as they sprinkled water all around the stage area and each other.
In the end, water everywhere (as if we baptized the stage)... everyone left with full heart and a reminder that they are all important parts of something much bigger than themselves.
These youth inspire me so much, and I`ll continue be there for them and pray for them as they perform and discover who they were created to be.
Amen.

God`s grace isn`t stopped by exile, hardship, or division. 🌿
It goes before us into the hard places… and follows after to redeem what we offer in faith.
"No exile, no prison, no cultural storm can ever chain the Word of God or silence His grace." 🙌

I`ve heard that early Christians sometimes used the bee as an emblem of Christ, with the sweetness of honey representing forgiveness and the sting representing justice.
The hive also represents the Church as a community working together for the common good, with every member having a purpose.
And I love seeing these guys flying around the flowers in my backyard!

Babylon. Rome. Two very different worlds — one story.
God`s purposes aren`t defeated by exile, hardship, or loss of influence.
You`re not an exile of circumstance. You`re an image-bearer of a loving God, called to mirror His faithfulness even in hard places. 🌿
Watch this reminder that faithfulness isn`t about reclaiming power — it`s about embodying grace.

Every prayer. Every Eucharist. Every act of service. Each is a way of saying we refuse to forget who we are—and Whose we are.
That`s part of what I`ll be preaching about this Sunday: how God`s grace precedes and follows us, even in the hard places.

A Message From Dan
What does it look like to live a Christian life? Like, TRULY live a Christian life? If I’m honest, I’m over the fake front of being a happy, blessed, and perfect person in order to impress others. Truth is, I’m a sinner who’s just trying to figure out how to do this without looking like an absolute fool. I think the Christian life is about admitting our brokenness, while raising our hand to say,”Here I am Lord! What would You have me do?” And that’s what this blog is all about… just a dude trying to do the best I can, and maybe hoping that you’re stumbling through the same journey. Maybe we can walk together.
