About Me

I build things, it's what I do. Mostly furniture. I just like making stuff.I will tell you the same story twice. I will more than likely be more excited to tell you the second time. It's not that I'm trying to be redundant. I just get excited and forget. Feel free to tell me that I've already told you, or you can listen again. It might get better (but probably not).I have found that there are infinite good things about Spring, Summer and Fall, but there are only two good things about winter. They are: 1. Really cold tap water 2. Sliding my truck around in the snowDon't try to convince me that there are more good things about winter, because I promise you, there aren't.Luckily winter is almost gone.I will tell you the same story twice.

The World, Mustard Seeds, and God as an Artist

The world doesn't get better unless we try. We can't start big, it doesn't work that way. It starts small. Jesus referred to the Kingdom of Heaven as a mustard seed. It starts out small, and it grows....
