One Guy

I like to see myself as a pilgrim on this journey. This journey towards ordained ministry, towards family, towards life itself. This blog is full of my thoughts, reflections, sermons and other random things that are about my journey towards being a Lutheran Pastor.

Contemplating the Sunrise

Here, there is picture of me standing opposite an early morning summer sunrise. Its probably one of the pictures of myself that I like most. Someone once said that this picture sums up my personality quite well. The picture shows me in a reflective setting. That morning it was taken was one of my favourite moments in life. It embodied a simplicity that embodies one of the most important periods of my life. I call myself a cowboy, but I am only am partly really. The summers I spent working at that Wilderness, I found a peace  in myself that didn’t exist before and maybe that picture simply represents. If you look carefully, you can see the slightest of smirks on my face. It is that smile that I carry when I am happiest.
