And just like that, the '24-'25 school year for me at NUPS is in the books. If you had asked me two years ago if this is what I thought my life would look like right now, I would have said no.
I'm grateful to have a small role in the lives of our students, and wish our 2025 grads the best!

Spotted this gem at the Middle School yesterday afternoon. It's solid advice for all of us. 🤣🤣

Jesus wasn't the only one who died and rose again...
🤣🤣🤣
A meme that says: "On this day we remember he that died for us and was indeed resurrected." There are two photos underneath: the scene from the TOS Star Trek movie where Spock dies in the warp core chamber, and the one when Spock has come back to life. Captain Kirk is also in both.

Watching one of my favorite DS9 episodes ever.
A meme of Bashir, O'Brien, and Quark from Star Trek DS9 sitting at Quark's Bar about to eat. It reads: "No food for those on the path to Kal'Hya. No refunds for those on the path to Kal'Hya either."

Sharing this photo of @dlmayfield.bsky.social for absolutely no reason at all. None.
While I haven't claimed the label of "Evangelical" for some time, being a pastor in the Wesleyan/Methodist tradition has become increasingly difficult over the past...decade or so.

For your consideration:
A photo of a Christmas tree, and TV with a yule log. Nick's chonky cat Oreo is sleeping in his scratcher under the TV. It kinda makes him look like baby Jesus...

At the Middle School today for 5th grade ELA. So, naturally I'm wearing my DJ cat t shirt.

That post church nap hits different when it's two services instead of one.

After a quick, long weekend trip to IL to lay my wife's dear Granddad to rest, I'm back at it today. Grateful to both churches I serve, who granted me PTO on short notice, so I could be present w/ extended family. And to my friend, Erin, who stepped in to preach for me at the last minute. Grateful.

Been a minute since I posted anything on here. The last several weeks have been tough.
Wesley wants you to know that you are loved. And to drink some water.
Carry on.

Today was tough. A lot of hard conversations and decisions to be made in the future at one of the churches I serve.
Luckily, I have brownies, so that's a win.
A photo of a dark chocolate brownie, on a plate, next to a pan of dark chocolate brownies on Nick's counter. Both have dark chocolate frosting.

Too easily, I lose sight of doing things I like. Especially in a vocation that has a lot of things to do. Whenever I start to play, it feels like coming home again, & it brings me joy. I'll never make it big, but I don't care. I do it because I enjoy it. Today's song I learned: Jolene. Thanks, Dolly

Just gonna leave this here.
"My living is the healing." Love this idea so much.
A quote that says "My living is the healing." A white candle, burning slowly, and white double doors in the background can also be seen.

Mental health matters. So, when I was invited to go on a walk to raise awareness earlier today, I went. The church needs to be addressing mental health, not running away from it. A place for wholeness & healing, & embracing all of who you are.
