It is with great humility, if there is such a thing, and even a bit of reluctance that I make this small offering of words. What you will find in this blog is the story of my journey with Jesus and my journey with others, at least up until this point. I turned forty this year. One truth I have discovered is that the more I learn about Jesus, the more I realize I don’t know. He’s always bigger. I keep getting smaller, but I think that’s a good thing. In the process I know he is transforming me more and more into his likeness. Paul wrote that he is faithful to finish what he started, that he will carry on His work in us until its completion. And in this I am confident.

when i grow up i want to....

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.—Henri David Thoreau

We all, at one time or another had a dream. For many of us, that dream has long been put away, packed up with the toys and memories of childhood and replaced with the responsibility of growing older and more “mature.” And put away along with these dreams is our sense of wonder, our imaginations; and the grand expectation of the future as we stared out at the horizon and tried to envision the path that lay before us.
Remember when the phrases that was once before us?

          When I grow up I want to __________

          When I grow up I want to be a ____________
What did you fill in once, when you knew how to dream; when your life was full or passion and busting with expectation?
