Be present.

Be known.

Most of us are loved by people who don't fully know usI'm trying to close that gap in my own life — as a husband, a father, a friend — and writing it down while it's still happening.

The stuff nobody

says out loud


“I assume they know.”

They have probably never heard you say it. Not in words. Not out loud.

“I’m not that interesting”

Your kids don’t need interesting. They need your voice, your reasons, your faith.

“I’ll do it later.”

Later has a way of not showign up. Ask anyone who has stood at a funeral with things left unsaid.


“I don’t know where to start.”

Almost nobody does. Starting badly still counts as starting.


Who this is for

The tired parennt

You're doing the work. you just want them to know why you did it. 

The quiet one

You feel far more than you say. You'd like the people you love to hear it.

The curious skeptic

Unsure about the God part. Come away you'll be treated like a friend, not a project.
