A Letter to My Son on His 18th Birthday
Hey kid,
We’re actually here.
The moment we cut those apron strings. The moment we launch you into the world. The moment you step into adulthood.

Both of them were like grandparents to me and instrumental in my faith journey. I have no doubt that they are rejoicing ...

As I write this short post, I am on a journey. I don’t mean that metaphorically. Thankfully, I’m not on an “eat, pray, love” type quest for meaning and purpose. In a few hours, I’ll be hopping on a plane for a seven hour trip to Indonesia.
I’ll be meeting up with friends there — ladies ...
