About

I am a 47-year-old, married, stay-at-home father of two boys.  I love to write, sports, art, architecture, spirituality, and Nespresso…maybe a wee bit of whisky too.

This blog is simply a place to try and give a voice to an ever-changing life in motion.

A reality where I wrestle with what once was (former professional athlete, former youth minister, former founder/director of a sports ministry called the Message of Hope Foundation, ex-pat living in Switzerland) to what is…making peanut butter and jelly, doing laundry, and being a taxi driver to the boys.

All in all, this is a place where I reflect on my journey. A journey that seeks truth and beauty in all things.

“Until we walk with despair, and still have hope, we will not know that our hope was not just hope in ourselves, in our own successes, in our power to make a difference, in our image of what perfection should be. We need hope from a much deeper Source. We need a hope larger than ourselves.

Until we walk with personal issues of despair, we will never uncover the Real Hope on the other side of that despair. Until we allow the crash and crush of our images, we will never discover the Real Life beyond what only seems like death. Remember, death is an imaginary loss of an imaginary self, that is going to pass anyway.

This very journey is probably the heart of what Jesus came to reveal.”
