About The Blog

This is a place to share what I am learning about myself, God, parenting, justice and so much more. I hope it can be useful to others who are trying to love God and love people well in this hard, beautiful world.

This blog started as space to discuss faith, race, and justice because I have learned so much in these areas over the last decade. As I started planning, though, I was reminded that writing is how I process life so I am taking a leap of faith and sharing my thoughts on a broader set of topics with you here!

This painting is displayed in our kitchen as a reminder to myself, my hubby, and our kiddos that when the world seems complex and confusing, which it often does, our main pursuit can be boiled down really simply:  Love God.  Love people.  It’s a simple way of embodying scripture in our house.  This is also the first art that I commissioned and it made me feel super fancy.  You, too, can enjoy the brilliance of LaDara McKinnon in your home.  Feel free to learn more about her at  LaDara Fine Art.

Leaving Space for Blessing (Bags)

We have three young children and I find myself thinking a lot about the lessons they are learning in life- from us, from friends, from the world.  I have heard so many wise people share that it matters a lot what you say to your kids but so many things that “stick” are because of…

The Colorful Image of God

I can’t remember living in a more divisive time than this.  Our world, country, and cities need image bearers like you helping to bring God’s kingdom to earth.  I believe there is a beautiful intersection between the words of Jesus and the words of scholars on this subject.  My hope and prayer in writing this is that more White people who love Jesus grow deeper in their understanding of their racial identity and fight harder to help end systems of oppression in our country.   – From The Colorful Image of God
