The Frat House Moments
Scripture: Matthew 1:23
“They will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God with us’).”
When Tom travels, the house… shifts.
I wouldn’t call it a disaster zone.
It’s more of a “light frat house situation.”
Nothing ...
No Slinking Away
Scripture: Matthew 1:19
“Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.”
Have you ever been standing in a line somewhere — Costco, Target, ...
Frank Vulnerability
Sunday, while preaching, I had a millisecond moment.
That time when truth, vulnerability, heart, and words intersected.
A little background info . . .
As you know, I don't preach from a manuscript.
I do lots of deep work into the ...
Shut up and swim!
One of my favorite moments in Finding Nemo is when Dory—sweet, forgetful, slightly chaotic Dory—looks at Marlin having a full-on panic spiral and chirps, “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming…”
It’s funny because it shouldn’t work.
And ...
What a thing to yell out loud…
"They kept their distance, but raised their voices..." - Luke 17:12-13
Imagine standing before anyone who comes near you, shouting over and over: "Unclean! Unclean! Unclean!" The Mosaic law required it.
Torn clothing to signal your ...
Behavior is a Language
I sat on the couch Wednesday night, phone in hand, trying to figure out how to say “thank you.” You’d think writing a simple birthday post wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But apparently, for me? It was.
An hour went by—no exaggeration—as I ...
Even though the adage, “Practice Makes Perfect” bites…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this story.
I started playing piano when I was four.
It mattered to my mom—she played and directed the church choir before I was born.
So even with tiny hands and short fingers, I learned.
The first time I ...
Speaking Two Truths – Even When One is Hard
Before anything else today, we pause to say thank you.
To every Veteran…
To every active service member…
To every family whose lives have been shaped by the service of their loved ones,
we are profoundly grateful.

Gratitude in a Dumpster Fire
I have a watch that tracks my sleep.
My sleep patterns are those of a small child. Pretty much by 8 pm, I’m down for the count. If not literally in bed, I’m on my way. So, when there is a meeting at 7 - it's a rough night for me. 🙂
It’s ...
Admitting “I can’t do this alone…”
Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount with a strange line:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3)
Most of us hear that and think Jesus is talking about certain kinds of people — the meek ones, the ...
NOT AFRAID TO GET DIRTY
Scripture
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…”
— Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)
I used to think gratitude had to be big to be real.
Life-changing stories.
Tears streaming down cheeks.
But most ...
NOT AFRAID TO GET DIRTY
Scripture:
“Give thanks in all circumstances…”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:18
There’s this quiet pressure many of us carry —
to get life “right.”
Right choices.
Right timeline.
Right career path.
Right relationships.
Right house, ...
