….and we’re back
Friends and fellow travellers – Kelli and I are back in the states. Mexico was amazing as usual, but we are glad to be home. Looking forward to catching up with you and dreaming about the future.

Off the Map for A Week
Kelli and I leave today for a MUCH needed getaway to Mexico. We have been way too stressed lately and we both feel it. Time to relax, refocus, rethink, relove, re-eat and drink, re-explore, our favorite country – Mexico. We will see you in a week. Did I mention the kids are staying with grandparents?
By the way, if you want details about what the next week will look like for us think of the Corona comercials that play so often on TV. Us, the beach, good books, and maybe even a Corona or two.
Cheers
Not going to just talk anymore
My good friend Josh just left our house and my mind is racing. Kelli, Josh, and I talked for the past few hours about life, faith, and how well the two are working together. What came to my mind, as it has seemed to so many times recently, was how much we talk big of living differently, but in reality, we aren't that much different. Blame part of it on the fact that we are as flawed and hopeless as any other human on this planet, and put the rest of the blame on us directly. We have gotten too busy, too comfortable, too lazy, too casual about this Jesus we claim to follow. Something has to change. Something has to be done. Not just for the sake of doing, but for the sake of balance, for the sake of justice, and for the sake of integrity. So here's where we're headed, a life lived centered around community, Christ, creativity, and compassion. No other distractions, no other agendas – just figuring out how to live in these ways – community, Christ, creativity, and compassion. We'd love to share this life with others, learning from them along the road. If you resonate with this simple, yet serious way of life, you're more than welcome to join us – the more the merrier.
my Father’s Day present
This father's day Kelli and the kids got me a "lovesac". According to the LoveSac website, "LoveSac is all about hangin’ out. Come together with your friends and family. LoveSac is always the center of good times." It's a giant bean bag (but bigger and better). Kelli has always wanted one, I have always wanted to fall asleep in one, and our local LoveSac store was having a sale. So we broke down and got one for my office – a reading chair. It's the two-person edition (the MovieSac) and far from the "the BigOne" (which comfortably seats a family of five!)
Anyway, here's to catching up on my reading and sneaking a nap on my new LoveSac.
