I started the first half of my Legacy post with my wife and what an inspiration she’s been to me since I first met her. Well, I have no doubts where she got her overall amazingness from: her parents, Mike and Janie Reed. Mike has got to be the most dedicated husband I’ve ever met....

What’s My Legacy? (Part I)
I got married last year and since then (well, even before then to be completely honest) my wife and I have talked a lot about our kids. We don’t have any kids. Yet. But, we’re both planners and we like to focus on the future–a little too much at times–so we talk about what life...
God Knows What He’s Doing…Right?
I feel like we’ve been in limbo–my wife and I–for the past 4-6 months. Holy crap, it’s August? Okay, since January. Wow. It’s been a year of transitions.

T-minus 80-something days till my wife and I make the trek down to SoCal. We’ll be there for at least a year, but hopefully (depending on my job situation…and hers) we’ll be there for a few more. But finally knowing that we’ll be leaving, and there actually being a real date for the move,...
Encounter Weekend
It was a wonderful weekend, full of surprises, meditation, worship, secrets, prayer, and great conversations. But mostly for me, it was a break from real life. Don’t get me wrong, it was jam-packed full of busyness and exhaustion, and there wasn’t really much downtime overall (which for an introverted guy like me, was a bit...
