Luke 11:11-13 (11)What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; (12)or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? (13)If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”(ESV)
This verse was hard for me to understand until I had children of my own. The examples I had growing up were not great. Then I met my first born. Then a lot of things began to change in how I saw the world and the importance I put on the relationships in my life. The shape of my relationships changed. I found a depth of love that I never knew was possible. Perhaps it’s because of my experiences that these verses have become so amazing to me. I know what I’m willing to give for my children. I know what I’m willing to do for my children. Then I see Jesus on the cross and it just takes me to my knees.
Hello,
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.
