By the time you read this, there’s a good chance that I’ll be driving a 26FT Penske Truck (the yellow beast) somewhere on I-10. Starting another jounery, but for now, we pause a moment to say thanks to the last three years in Austin. We came here with literally nothing, no jobs, no friends, no [...]

This morning I’m reflecting on the word mission. How does one stay on-mission? Here are some thoughts: 1. Daily connection with God through prayer, scripture reading and silence.
