How well do you like to admit you were wrong? Yeah, me neither…what is it that makes this so difficult? This afternoon I was working on some illustrations for Sunday and decided to enlist some help, so I texted Leigh-Ann… “Can you think of any arguments that we’ve had where I ended up being wrong? Need it for an illustration…...

Sundays in September 💛 Nothing beats spending them together.

This past Tuesday, I went for a run—well, more of a duty to ease my guilt so I could justify eating ice cream later that night. I figured, "Run now, relax, and refuel later," right? What could go wrong? Turns out, plenty. I typically run out a mile and then turn around and come back. It seems pretty simple, but I took a wrong turn at some point during my run....

Earlier this week, I was all set to start a fire on the porch to chase away the chill. But when I looked at the fire thing-a-ma-jig, I discovered what I thought was a large stick. Turns out, it wasn’t a stick at all—it was a walking stick insect (***Update I stand corrected 🙂 It's a Praying Mantis)! I hadn’t had coffee and wasn’t expecting an insect…but there it was staring back up at me all 5-6 inches of him....

We should do this every Sunday... 😉 Have an amazing week New Life, fam!

A few days ago, our middle son, Isaiah, got the chance to be a ball boy at the Sporting KC match. We were all pumped about it, ready for an evening of soccer thrills. But, as it turns out, soccer games and the weather don’t always play nice together. Shortly after he got to the stadium, the rain started—not just a little sprinkle but a full-on downpour....

A few days ago, I set out on one of my favorite weekend rituals—mowing the lawn. Now, I know mowing the lawn might seem like just another chore, but for me, it's a cherished time of reflection and satisfaction, capped off by a well-earned view of the freshly cut grass from my porch. Armed with my earbuds and an inspiring podcast, I was ready to tackle the yard while soaking up some wisdom....

Today is Sophia’s 20th birthday….so first things first, Happy Birthday! 😊 If you know Sophia, you know she lights up every room and adds joy to everyone she meets. She is an aspiring pilot and college soccer player…but her journey hasn’t always been smooth. When Sophia first began playing soccer, she had more enthusiasm than skill. Her early games were a mix of hustle and happy accidents....

This week, Leigh-Ann and I celebrated our 25th anniversary. Wow-I have always remembered “old people” celebrating their 25th…and we are not old 😊.In one sense, marriage is a bit of a rollercoaster ride filled with laughs and love and also some sadness and sobriety. Overall and without a doubt, I’ve loved the journey we’ve shared—complete with its share of conflicts, misunderstandings, and yes, some really colorful debates…especially the first two years....

Last week, our community lost a remarkable person, Phil Cagle, in a tragic carjacking incident. Phil was a good friend, a devoted church member, and a passionate motorcycle and moped enthusiast. His sudden passing has left a void in our hearts, but his legacy of kindness and generosity will be remembered. Phil and I first crossed paths over five years ago, thanks to a scooter for sale on Craigs List....

"Why is it a big deal to guard our hearts? The heart is the control center. It influences our relationships, cultivates our habits, and manages our emotions. It even helps us navigate trials, so the heart as a control center is very, very valuable." - Pastor Troy Campbell

Since coming home for the summer, our daughter Alexa’s car hood has been looking pretty rough. The once sleek surface had become blotchy and, frankly, a bit embarrassing to drive around. With her upcoming move to Florida, I wanted to make sure the car looked its best before she left. And since Dallas and Isaiah were away at camp, Ian and I took it upon ourselves to tackle the job....

Last night, when most of the world was asleep, Leigh-Ann had an unexpected encounter that left her heart pounding. She walked into our bathroom and was met with a sight that would send shivers down anyone's spine—a large, brown spider. But this was no ordinary spider; this one seemed to have a vendetta. I woke up to this text, "I walked into our bathroom and a large brown spider aggressively charged me....
