Welcome

typewriter
My father’s typewriter. He took this to college with him in 1959.

Writing is a discipline, and it is one I hope to grow stronger in every day.  Friend, preacher, and mentor, the late Fred Craddock used to say,”Write something every day. It does not matter if it is a sentence or a paragraph or a page. It does not matter if someone will never read it, just write something every day.”

There is great wisdom in those words. I spend all of my days as a father and a husband, enjoying each moment but often tending to the day-to-day routine.  I spend my day as a pastor pursuing justice, giving care and counsel, and spiritual and administrative leadership to a diverse congregation constantly journeying towards living more justly and faithfully.  I write notes, and I write emails.  I write sermons, and I write lists.  I write a lot of lists.  I add things already done to my list of things to do just so I can mark them off my list.

Now, I am entering into an already crowded world of writing.  Some of this might be creative in nature, some of it theological, but all of it is authentically me.

Welcome and thank you.
