The Servant Song in Philippians 2 came to mind:”…but made himself nothing,…”

WELCOME

After 25 years of pastoral ministry, I'm embracing the writing life in all its delight and challenge. "Writing is an act of faith, not of grammar," says author E.B. White, and that's how it feels to me too.

I currently serve as resident author with a liturgical worship community, write online and in print publications, and often speak in churches and other settings. For a more complete bio, please see my About page.

On this website, I share some of my writing, books I'm reading, Scripture, prayer, and other everyday acts of faith. Whatever life holds for you today, I pray you'll be refreshed and renewed by the articles you read here.

Before you go, I'd like to send you a free copy of my ebook that I hope you'll find helpful: How to Pray When Prayer Seems Impossible. Just let me know where to send it:
