A sprout of faith

I'll go ahead and be the first to admit that I don't have it all together. I suffer from mild depression, anxiety, and I'm on the autistic spectrum. I should also mention that I'm lazy and easily distracted. I sometimes swear like a sailor, thanks in part to my trucking lifestyle. I've also found that … Continue reading A sprout of faith →

Are we prepared?

Last week I received the sad news that one of my old friends from high school had recently passed away. I don't know the circumstances regarding her untimely passing nor do I want to know. She was a good friend and could easily make me laugh. I won't lie, I even had a little bit … Continue reading Are we prepared? →

The road so far

It's been more than a week since my last post and orientation has come and gone. Much has happened in that brief amount of time. I've gone from Portland, Oregon to Salt Lake City, Utah, and then all the way up to Grandview, Washington and then to Calgary, Alberta.

The Climb

Sunday I sat on the cold bench in Colfax Washington waiting for my bus to show up. It was almost 7:30 in the morning and the air was still cold. Emily and John sat across the street in our car just in case I had any trouble. After a short wait that felt like forever, … Continue reading The Climb →

Dealing with Rejection

Yesterday afternoon I found out that my book proposal had been politely rejected. Apparently a book for truckers, by an orthodox trucker is just too niche especially when you consider that the Orthodox world is already pretty niche in and of itself. This was my first attempt, and my first rejection. I'll admit for a … Continue reading Dealing with Rejection →

Discerning His will

I first heard "Should I stay or should I Go" by classic punk rockers "The Clash" in my late teens, early 20's. I was going through a period of great personal change, and wasn't sure about my own identity.
