Ari, Jezziah and Owen. You are the most precious gifts that God gave me. Your mom and I are so proud of what you have and will become. One of the things that I want you to know about life that I’ve learned over my very short time here on earth is that God gave …

Don’t Burn Bridges
Ari, Jezziah, and Owen (And little miss Oakley, still on the way!) That letter that I wrote about not giving up? Still applies. Turns out that relationship that I had built (a very little one) with the RVP at AUS turned out to be not that bad. As we all learn in situations in hind-sight, …
I have Long COVID
TL;DR – here’s some research that I’ve learned about long COVID, that your PCP or ER doctor doesn’t know. I wanted to share some best practices that I’ve seen. I, like everyone else, am still trying to figure this out, and often feel like I am all by myself trying to figure that out. An …
Life Is About Love

Rise Up
This was the tune of my day. How are you doing? Turn off your Facebook, Twitter, Insta-everything. Shut your door. Close your eyes. Remember that you are loved. Listen to this song. You will rise up again. We need more love. More patience for each other. No one is perfect. You, nor I, could ever …
Dear Law Enforcement
Not everyone hates you. The rhetoric you hear before you on the thin blue line is the noise of your brothers and sisters who are hurting. When you are hurt, it is difficult to put to words, the things that are most important. It doesn’t mean that what they are trying to say is not …
Tragedy and Change
George Floyd’s murder was preventable. I believe we can all agree to that. If you’ve already stopped reading, that’s okay, this message is not for you. As much as his murder was preventable, there are systemic issues that are at play, that you yourself, are likely culpable. You might believe that the far left is …
