I want to introduce you to Yarny. Yarny is the protagonist of one of my favorite video games I’ve played in a long while called “Unravel” – its a beautiful game with a beautiful story throughout. My kids and I have loved playing it and […]

Imago Scriptura 23 – History
In my office hangs a photo taken by my grandfather of the Aspen in Colorado. I love having the picture hang there – it connects me with my family and my home state but it also connects me with the one who passed along a […]
Imago Scriptura 20 – Parenting
We have had this magnet on our fridge for more than a few years now. “Parenthood: The only job that’s REALLY full time.” So very true and we have lived that time and time again and will continue to do so. Parenthood is a blessing […]
Non Imago Post – Broncos
As I noted in the post that deals with things of far greater significance than a football game…as a Broncos fan I am a pretty happy camper today. What was really fun about last night for me though was not just the game and its […]
Wait for the Lord 17 – Taken
A few days ago, Nouwen talked about being chosen and he returns to that again today, but here he makes it feel much more personal. “When I know that I am chosen, I know that I have been seen as a special person. Someone has […]
Wait for the Lord 09 – Clothed in Compassion
My mother loves to knit and we have many examples of her knitting giftedness around our house. We have an afghan that she made I don’t know how many years ago that is in regular use down in our basement where we watch TV/movies. Our […]

Gratitude 02 – Pianos and Skeletons
So, what has struck me thus far today? Well, two things. One that was early this morning and one that I saw while I was walking home for lunch. I debated about whether I wanted to post one or the other and decided that both […]
BFTJ – Aug 29 – The Companionship of the Dead
Our children unfortunately never knew their great-grandparents. Only my grandmother on my dad’s side was still alive when our youngest were born. We have a wonderful picture of her, me, my father, and the newborns that we treasure as we have all four generations there. […]
Imago Gospels – 10 – Buffalo
Matthew 13 Many of us have heard the question asked at parties and in icebreakers and the sort. If your home was on fire and your family was all safe, but you could take only one thing out, what would it be? I have answered […]
A Place at the Table – 30 – Parents
God, we often forget that You made us a people of heritage. Our bodies are designed by the characteristics of our parents, and brought to life by Your breath. You sent a model for the good life— Jesus the Christ. He is more than a […]
