Finally on the Trail: A Long-Awaited Backpacking Trip with Braden For years, Braden and I have tossed around the idea of going backpacking together. Every time we’d talk about it, it felt like one of those “someday” ideas—always out there on the horizon, always subject to the tides of...
One Second – August 2022
At the end of August, we completed our Sabbatical. During the month, I turned 50. That day was relatively uneventful. I spent the day with Kyndal and Angie and enjoyed a day at the pool and ice cream after dinner. This month, I spent a lot of time riding...
One Second July
I’m posting this a little late, but here’s my one-second video for July. Each day, I recorded a video or took a photo of something happening that day and saved it in the 1SE app on my phone. I love this app because it provides a quick glimpse into...

Camper Timelapse
Ten years ago our family borrowed a popup camper and took a camping trip from Texas through New Mexico and into Colorado. We made a Timelapse video of our camper setup. We thought repeating the Timelapse again this year would be appropriate. Thank you Kyndal and Angie for participating....
Isolation
Anticipating feelings of isolation during Sabbatical, I bought Shelly Trebesch’s book Isolation: A Place of Transformation in the Life of A Leader. Im only halfway through the book but I just had to share an insight I found. n n She examines periods of isolation in Joseph, Moses, Elijah,...
