"I guess I just don't get it. Why seminary?" my mom asked one night around the fire pit. I find it quite interesting, now that I think about it, that this whole time, we haven't dived deep into "Why seminary." At least I haven't. What about seminary itself makes us feel called?

I saw it in the distance, a semi-truck transporting a massive piece of machinery. The banner "OVERSIZE LOAD" with all the flags and flashing lights is always a sore sight to see on the road.

On the other hand we have a remarkable dread, a remarkable hatred of poverty, mean birth, and a humble condition, and feel the strongest desire … Continue reading Flavor of the Day
As I sat down to write my potential first blog post, Bobby ambled into the living room and asked if I was journaling about seminary. I smiled a little sheepishly and nodded, and then he mocked me in a girly-like voice, “Yesterday Bobby dropped a bomb-shell on me, and today he made me cry..... One … Continue reading 100 Ways to Ruin Your Wife’s Life
It was a cool, crisp, darkened September morning, and Bobby came upstairs to fill up his cup of coffee like usual.
