the eyes of an artist
"If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors. With our imagination as well as our eyes, that is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the...
serving others: lifestyle vs. hobby
What are my hobbies? Easy. Reading. Hiking. Bustling adventures in the city. Think getting lost on the subway. Quiet weekends in the mountains. Think getting lost in the silence. Listening to new music in new places. Laughing with old friends about old times. Oh, and...
what are we waiting for?
I almost missed it, but it’s been one of those weeks, and the very last proverbial bump-in-the-road is a 2-inch incision with eleven stitches across the back of my shoulder. Rest and don’t get hot and sweaty, the doctor tells me. Down here at the edge of the hot and...
giving yourself permission to create
My mother helped make me an artist because she taught me to see as one struck by wonder. Through her eyes, I first treasured thistle's down and oak's curved limb, leaf's shadow and bird's wing, the shapes of clouds and the kind of smiles made only with eyes. My mother...

I love having the chance to get #DubuGrey out into her natural habitat. Ocala National Forest is so full of beautiful spots like this to get some fresh air and enjoy nature.
Definitely feeling the need to do this more often.

Habits... I just hit a big milestone, reading for 1,000 consecutive days! I read books on my Kindle (and Kindle app on my phone), and I love that it tracks this... it`s a milestone I`ve had my eye on for a long time.
I was close before, but missed it. I got to 750 and then missed two days while on a mission trip experience with our youth group. So had to start over at 0.
What I like most isn`t the number, but what I`ve gotten out of everything I`ve read. I`ve learned so much, and have been inspired creatively through those books. (If you want to see what I`m reading, hit me up on Goodreads... DM me if you need a link.)
I don`t know what number I`ll hit before I miss another day, but I`m going to keep going because I love what it does for my mind and my soul!

Happy Easter from #kingpartyof7 (with one not in the pic)!
I love our tradition of the flowering 💐 of the Cross at @stedwardsepiscopal. We brought some flowers from our own garden to add.
Mostly, I`m grateful for a Savior who picked me up, rescued me, and gave me a purpose.
I`m also grateful for my crazy family, good friends, and a beautiful church community that gives me the opportunity to serve and bring God glory.

Feelin` that Palm Sunday altar...
And it makes me think about this Sunday we shout "Hosanna," and next Sunday we proclaim "He is risen!" But all of the days in between are filled with such an intense roller coaster ride of events and emotions.
Holy Week has become so much more meaningful to me since I`ve been in the Episcopal Church, and I look forward to each of the services I get to participate in on this crazy journey.

Grateful for a great clergy gathering in @cfdiocese with a fantastic talk from the Rev Dr R Michael Allen on "wholeness."
"If you want to be Christ-centered, you had better pay attention to the whole Christ. To the extent you narrow your Christ, you`ll set yourself and your church up for a search for supplements and substitutes."
Feeling equipped and refreshed... and thankful for such great leadership that puts together events like this for us.

Said goodbye to a dear old friend today. He was the core of a small group of us best friends, and the best man in my (and several of our) wedding(s).
His impact on all of our lives is unquestionable. And his legacy will continue on for a long time to come.
I always feel like he made me a little more rock and roll, and I made him a little more Jimmy Buffett.
And he LOVED Night Ranger (who we saw in concert like a million times), so this just seems fitting from their song, Goodbye..
"As the sun hides his head
For another night`s rest
And the wind sings
His same old song
And you on the edge
Never close, never far
Always there when I needed a friend
But it`s hard living life
On this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Spinning `round and `round and `round
All this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye"
Godspeed, Dave. May light perpetual shine upon you.

The Stations of the Cross aren`t just a tradition—they`re an invitation to walk with Jesus in His final moments. How do you make this practice meaningful? ✝️

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.
