Churches are empty. Pews are empty. But the tomb is also still empty! May our hearts and homes be full today. After worshiping this morning from our home, I mentioned that likely, never before in history, when considering a single day, has the Gospel story of Jesus been heard in as many places as it […]

Plus One Equals Six
Here’s the sixth month of microvlogging for the year. Our family grows from five to six. Oh, what a wild life. In editing, I found that Aelah is highlighted quite often this month. I’ll have to put some more focus on the boys here in July. Enjoy!

Sliding Into Home
Do I even need to begin writing about this past month? It was a pesky one and oh, how slow some things seemed. Let’s put it this way – patience and faith were exercised. In the end, we found ourselves home. Let me mentioned briefly the editing of this video. For some reason, when the […]
The Roar of the Winds is the Sound of a Psalm
Though I go on in the center of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the attack of my enemies and Your power will save. —Psalm 138:7 Oh, April … what a month you’ve been! My good friend, Brian Shilts, released an album this month and gave me permission to use […]
A House As A Home
Until a few months ago, we had never thought we’d be purchasing a house. Yet, as we found God clearing the way for our move to Fort Wayne, it seemed home ownership would be a wise financial decision. Thus began our search for a house. A few days ago, I began writing an extensive post about our […]
Keep Moving
Oy! March! I think this video does a decent job of capturing the scattered circus. What it doesn’t capture is the crazed Fort Wayne housing market in which houses are sold only hours after being listed. We continue our search. The new Pip (i.e. person in progress) arrives in about 10 weeks! Praying for some settling before then. […]
Hitherto, God…
You can tell life is upon us like a thunderstorm when any regularly blogging is swept away. We’ve been overwhelmed with activities, transitions, and emotions this month. More and more I have found it important to keep up with this microvlogging. I have found that in the midst of so much daily go-go, taking an […]
VanderVlog • Vol. 1
One of my small endeavors this year is to microvlog. Every day, I intend to capture a small snippet of video. I’ve done well. There have been days that I’ve nearly reached bedtime and realized that I’d not yet captured any moments. Overall, however, I have been able to find a few moments each day to document. […]
Back Home Again in Indiana
I recently shared some bittersweet news with folks here at the Prayer League during morning prayer. Some of our family and friend are also aware of these upcoming changes. As our family aims to remain faithful to God’s call, we will be moving on from our current position of involvement with the Prayer League and will take up a new […]
Walls & Words, Salvation & Silence
We’ve been reading through Zechariah during Wednesday morning Bible study at the Prayer League. I’ve read this book a number of times and have always been struck with wonder and beauty. Two images struck me this week as we considered this vision that met Zechariah in the night. Then I raised my eyes and looked, […]
World Introvert Day
Today is supposedly World Introvert Day. As midnight approaches, we could say the party is nearly over … and, as an introvert, I should be okay with this. I’ll happily sit here in the dark of our apartment and write up a few thoughts regarding introversion. — 30 minutes later — Well, as I began to […]
Into 2017
Entering 2016, I posted a list of where I wanted my attentions to be. I fell ridiculously short. Now, entering 2017, I’ve not even given much thought to such a list. However, the word create keeps returned to me. I’ll hold this word close as we live into a new year. I hope to play songs I’ve written and to write […]
