Welcome to The Carpet Bag!

 

I've sang in cathedrals throughout central Europe, walked under a pyramid in Mexico, ridden a camel up Mt. Sinai, drank tea with a Bedouin woman in the wilderness of Egypt, and shaken hands with a 900-year old Crusader in Ireland.

Not interesting enough? Okay, I was once worn out sledding with a five-year old in Sweden, crawled through an ancient tunnel below the walls of Jerusalem, dug for a day in an archaeological dig in Ai, illegally took pictures (on accident!) of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in the Vatican, and ate lunch in the pub where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien used to hang out.

Hey, that's not too bad for a mere three decades, and I'm only just beginning!

I love travelling and sharing my life and adventures with others, and inside you'll find all kinds of photos, art, videos, links to even cooler sites, and more! I add stuff to my site as often as I can, so check back soon.

Carpe diem!

news, updates, and
prayer requests

Over the next few weeks I want to set up a support-raising schedule and strategy, redesign my website, and find a flexible, part-time job. I’d also like to find a church in Memphis as soon as possible. Please pray for me as I look for a job. Pray that I find a community quickly. Pray that God sends ministry partners and that I’m not afraid to look.

I'm excited and a little nervous, because I feel a huge sense of responsibility to the calling that God has given me. I want to relax and play, not be disciplined. Pray that I blow on those sparks, that they be turned into flames. Pray that people come into my life who want to see a bonfire grow in and from my calling!
