Photos: Christmas Time
For some reason, our culture treats the word, “Christmas” like its a bad word, covering it with a generic, “Happy Holidays” greeting. I find it strange since they advertise aggressively all of November and December for the day they aren’t even allowed to say. And maybe that’s okay, since they don’t know the meaning of … Read more
Travel: New York, New York
Back in 2010 I traveled to New York. I never shared the pictures or the journey until now. Anytime you travel somewhere new, you have this idea painted out in your head of what it will be like. You gather all the stereotypes you’ve heard and develop an opinion about a place you’ve never stepping … Read more

There is something heavenly about little girls. The grace and beauty they carry with them in the mist of a crazy world, reminds me of all that is good. If you look in their eyes you can see hope. I work with Daisy’s family at church. The first time I saw her I knew that one … Read more
First Name Problem, Last Name Solution
I heard a poem on a podcast a month ago that has since stayed with me. I found it fascinating and powerful. I’m the reality of your every day life. I am many name, many faces, many shapes, and forms. I come in every size and color. I am blamed for more failures than anything … Read more
Audio: Thoughts Behind the Music
I asked my cousin Isaiah to do an interview with me. I wasn’t sure what we were going to talk about but I knew it was going to be something interesting. To my surprise we ended up talking about music. So many times we hear of success stories from the finish line, but what about … Read more
