Looking Out the Right Side of the Bus - A Call to Empathy
You can listen to the full unabridged audio here: Mandate of Mishpat - Call to Empathy
In August of 1997, my wife Amy and I flew to Jamaica for our honeymoon. It was one of those perfect, all-inclusive deals where everything is paid for upfront. We spent our days floating in the pool, kayaking in the ocean, and eating incredible food. It was a week of total relaxation—a great way to start a marriage.
An absolutely amazing weekend celebrating Libby’s graduation from Michigan State University. She leaves with life-long friends, amazing memories, and a degree in Public Relations with high honors. We could not be more proud of our Libby girl!

Yesterday, the #OldGal and I both posted 3s. Sharing them got lost in graduation celebrations.
Today, we both posted 5s.

Reflections on Amos 5
“Life is interesting. Life is hard. We are born with nothing, we chase everything, and we leave with nothing. So hopefully our soul gains more than our hands.”
That quote showed up in my Instagram feed the morning I was preparing this sermon, and it stopped me cold. It felt like a gift — a one-sentence summary of what Amos 5 is driving at. Because Amos 5 is deeply, urgently concerned with exactly that: that our souls win out over what we chase with our hands.

I was listening to Find Your People by Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors today and the lyrics just really hit home today.
You gotta find your people
The ones that get the joke
Who understand what you're saying before a word is spoke
You gotta find your people
That put the needle in the groove
When you're together, you got nothing to prove
When you're together, you got nothing to lose
I’m so grateful for these people in my life.
