overhead projectors make Jesus smile
We've been attending a tiny church in a local trailer park. It's one of those classic situations where you think you are there to serve others, and you walk away feeling served to by them. There aren't greeters or ushers or enough chairs. When it's time to gather the...
he smells like mouthwash
Each Sunday he shows up. He stumbles in, unkempt and a little noisy. Typically his daughters come with him. (They love our children's ministry.) He sits in the metal folding chairs in our little church plant startup meeting at our local VFW Bingo Hall. Usually,...
when you’re worried about your appearance
I’m pretty sure my wedding dress is still in there--though I can’t be totally sure since I haven’t opened that box since the cleaners sealed it in 1971. They buried my husband’s grandmother in hers. If I passed on today, there’s not a chance they’d be able to...
the path to freedom
I sit in quiet and wait. Though I've been nagging God for answers and insight, He remains silent on a particular issue I keep bringing before Him. I'm puzzling over the questions I'm asking--are they the right ones? Is my focus in the wrong place? Maybe. And some...

Had a great time tonight talking about "Holy Rhythms for Hurting Hearts" tonight!
I was amazed at level of interest in the topics discussed in my little book of essays on mental health and ancient church practices. It seems like all of us relate to the struggle and are looking for peace.
And it appears that this book is a really great one for Lent... if you`re looking for a good read...

Just a little preview into my sermon tomorrow at @stedwardsepiscopal (8am and 10am).
This line just keeps hanging there in my heart.
Can`t wait to preach it!

Had a great time with our #EYCmountdora youth group tonight at our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner!
Our youth serve so well, and I love how our church community supports them.
This has become one of my favorite ways to mark the shift into the season of Lent.

It`s just one of those top-open kind of days on the way home from church today.
Sun shining.
Cool temps.
Radio on full blast.

By the end of the Blessing of the Stage, the floor is always covered in water - baptizing the space where these students will spend the next week telling stories.
Today we talked about truth-telling as sacred work. About how theater, at its best, reveals what`s real about being human. About how every role matters - on stage and backstage.
Grateful to be part of this tradition with Mount Dora High School`s Tempest Theater.

This might just be my new profile pic! LOL!
I made this as part of a white elephant gift for our youth group Christmas party, and I`m still laughing!
BTW... it looks amazing in a frame... I have a feeling we might see it hanging in our youth house at the church. 🤣

Yep, so my neighbor across the street went with the 6-7 decoration... 🫤

I`m working on a brand new Bible study called "I Will, With God`s Help", and I`d love your help shaping it.
This study takes a deep dive into what it really means to be a Christian, exploring who God is and how our faith becomes a lived way of life. Week 1 is ready, and before I move forward, I`d love honest feedback from people across different backgrounds and denominations.
I`m using a tool called Help This Book, where you can read the draft of Week 1 and leave comments, questions, or suggestions right inside the document. Your input will help me refine the study and make it as meaningful and accessible as possible.
If you`re interested in being a beta reader:

Thanks in advance to anyone who jumps in to help. Your perspective will make this project so much stronger.

November 10th is a special day for me, and this year is a good one.
Today is the one year anniversary for my ordination to the Sacred Order of Deacons, and it`s the 250th birthday of the US Marine Corps.
As I write this, I realize how much both of those things have in common... both marked by the unparalleled heart to serve.
Today, I take pride in the fact that I`m part of both of these two great callings, and I`m honored and grateful to have the opportunity to serve in these ways.
Semper Fidelis.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
Once a Deacon, always a Deacon.

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.
