This is the Day

Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.(ESV)

I woke up on the right side of the dirt today. This tells me that the Lord isn’t done with me, yet. I may be tired (I am). I may not feel prepared for today (I don’t). I may not feel like getting out of bed (mainly because my wife is in it). Still, this reminds me that I have more work to do. If God is not done with me then I know that He is still working and plans to use me for some purpose that I don’t yet understand. I will rejoice because I know that one day, in this life or the next, He will reveal the purpose of each day. I will take comfort in the fact that He still has plans for me. I will sing His praises for the fact that He still has a purpose for me.

If you’re reading this, He still has a purpose and plans for you, too.

Seems like another reason to celebrate to me.

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.
