A New Start.
After much discussion and handwringing, Kendra has convinced me that I should try my hand at consistent blog updates and YouTube videos. I’ve never been consistent with the former and I’ve never tried the latter. I may clean up some…

Redefining The Midlife Crisis
Category Fleeting Thoughts
Thoughts on current events and culture that would likely be forgotten if not written down.
Semper Reformanda. Switching browsers.
As we close out October, or Reformation Month, I will be preparing a message for the first Wednesday night service in October. The topic is “Semper Reformanda,” or “Always Reforming.” The phrase is linked back to a 1674 devotional by…
Never let a good midlife crisis go to waste.
I’m currently in the throes of a midlife crisis. I’d say they’re common to men after 35. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but my friend group and my personal experience lead me to believe it. Midlife crises are excellent opportunities…

Vocation.
I often wonder what it is like to find your vocation. I haven’t. Obviously, based on my first statement. I’ve been pursuing “vocation” my entire adolescence into adulthood. The first thing I ever wanted to do was raise chickens and…
