First day of school...how's it going?

A Faith to Nowhere: Live Out Loud »
Sometimes faith makes no sense. At the same time, faith doesn't always transcend experience and reason. God is reasonable, and sometimes, he is not. Right? It definitely true that the Lord speaks to u...

Tagline
A creative communicator and natural networker passionate about fostering relationships and building community.
Introduction
I am passionate about my faith and understanding others. I am totally energized when I connect with other and new people.

I'm a right-brained kind of guy. I have a good ability to envision the big picture and end-goal. I'm willing to do what it takes to get something done. Where there's a will, there is a way.

I enjoy my family tremendously, and, for some reason, trashy reality tv shows. I can always seem to find something interesting in seemingly uninteresting things.

My blog is about my journey and spiritual insights as they come to me (well, at least the ones I take the time to write down). It changes everyday. My coffee is always warm and the Lord is always with me- 2 constants in my life. In the midst of life and the noise, tension and stress abound, but there is peace to be had. Anyone can be a metromonk. May you come to know the stillness that lies beneath. The peace of the Lord be with you!
