Tonight on Adventures in Parenting:

Shopping at Lowe’s with MiMan (Donaven) when the cashier unwittingly triggers his magic eight ball of responses by telling him that he is a handsome little man.

What random answer did our intrepid hero deliver this evening?

Sitting with both arms draped over the back of the seat of the shopping cart and a look on his face most akin to ‘duh’, quoth the MiMan, “Yep.”

The crowd goes wild. Another victory for MiMan. The earth is safe once more.

Who am I?

I’ve walked a path I didn’t ask for, guided by a God I can’t ignore. I don’t wear titles well—writer, teacher, leader—they fit like borrowed armor. But I know this: I’ve bled truth onto a page, challenged what I was told to swallow, and led only because I refused to follow where I couldn’t see Christ.

I don’t see greatness in the mirror. I see someone ordinary, shaped by pain and made resilient through it. I’m not above anyone. I’m not below anyone. I’m just trying to live what I believe and document the war inside so others know they aren’t alone.

If you’re looking for polished answers, you won’t find them here.
But if you’re looking for honesty, tension, paradox, and a relentless pursuit of truth,
you’re in the right place.

If you’re unsure of what path to follow or disillusioned with the world today and are willing to walk with me along this path I follow, you’ll never be alone. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate as much as they feel comfortable with.

Now, welcome home. I’m Don.
