The Warm Hope of a Cold Spring

Dad and backseat theologians

by | Jul 15, 2013 | Contemplative Life

The other day, I was driving home with my boys after a rained-out Little League practice. Lightning flickered behind receding clouds, a headache lingered from a long day at the office, and my 8-year old, Owen, predictably asked if they could play outside when we got...

Restoring Peace

by | Apr 11, 2013 | Creation
