about school shopping and santa
Neither Abby nor I feel good, but summer’s winding down, and we’ve set this day aside for shopping. Time to hit the “cool” stores and try on some “cool” clothes in order to be “cool” during that first week of school. Time to watch mother and daughter do battle...
creating room for impulse
I hadn’t left the house in three days. My kids morphed into independence overnight and what I was cooking for dinner became the highlight of my week. When writing turned into a meaningless task, I knew I was in trouble. In Julia Cameron’s words I had “overfished (my)...
dear heavy heart, from yours truly
Dear Heavy Heart, I know you. I know your dark dread that rests heavy like a black cauldron full of the stew of worry, troubles, and bad news. Listen, I know of medicine for a heart like yours. I know relief from that anxious dread, those clouds of gray skies and...
feeling guilty about being saved: my 19-year-old self
Dear God, There is a way in which I sometimes I felt a sense of belonging. Belonging to a family. But I never felt I belonged to you. It was like I was walking alone, next to a ghost who had died centuries ago, drifting silently at my feet, as my shadow cast over the...

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.
