I am a semi-cynical thirtysomething, who is haunted by a vision of who Jesus is, what he’s done, and who I could be because of him. My main pain is the frustration of being the same and yet desperately wanting change, wanting to be a saint: a lover of God and humanity, and yet feeling stuck within my narcissistic skin. I am one who is learning, however, that change requires attendance to the roots of our being, which requires trust in the things we cannot see, which requires patience and humility. I am a husband, a father, a teacher and a student, and I am one who is driven to write to make sense of the world I live in.
