Not yet a lawyer. Soon to be one.

The Senate impeachment court asked four retired justices what "all the Members of the Senate" means.

Three would shrink the base. Azcuna would not.

I'm with Azcuna. Detention doesn't vacate a seat. While there are 24 Members, the number is 16.

When the Law Cannot Fix What Is Wrong With the Heart

A law can tell me what I must not do. It cannot make me want to do what is right.

Why Difficult Conversations Are Part of Leadership

I used to think a good leader keeps the peace. Silence felt safer. It wasn’t. A lot of leadership is the talk you don’t want to have.

The Things We Notice Only After They Are Gone

There are things we hardly notice while we have them. Then something changes.

What Ordinary Days Are Trying to Teach Us

Ordinary days are not the hallway we walk through to get to real life. They are where He has chosen to walk with us.

Why Repentance Is Good News

Repentance is not the opposite of good news. It is part of the good news.

The Difference Between Knowing About God and Knowing God

I used to think that if I could explain God, I knew Him. I don’t think that anymore.

Why Due Process Matters Even When We Dislike the Accused

The word that stays with me is person. It doesn’t say innocent person. Just person.

Leadership Begins With Responsibility, Not Authority

Authority can give you a title. Responsibility is what gives that position meaning.

What Failure Teaches Us That Success Cannot

Success can tell us that something worked. Failure makes us ask why it did not — and who we are when things go wrong.

Why Ordinary Faithfulness Matters to God

Most of life is little things. Scripture measures a life by faithfulness, not by how impressive it looks.

The Difference Between What Is Legal and What Is Right

Just because something is legal, does that mean it is right? The law can tell us what is permitted. It does not always settle the question of what is good.

Why OBTR? What Does “Said in Passing” Really Mean?

The moment passes. The thought stays. Why OBTR exists — and what “said in passing” is really for.

What Does It Mean to Follow Jesus When Nobody Is Watching?

Following Jesus is more than what people see. The quiet moments — the ones nobody else will know about — tell the truth.

July… be kind.

[OBTR @obtr_org]

God never makes a mistake in caring for us.

[OBTR @obtr_org]

God has never loved us other than with the love of a perfect Father.

The gospel isn’t good advice. It’s good news—already done, already finished.

[OBTR @obtr_org]

Immersing myself in the Book of Acts again—so much evidence of God’s providence and power at work.

[OBTR @obtr_org]

The Church isn’t perfect. But it’s precious to Jesus.

He calls it His bride.
Broken, messy, imperfect—and still beloved.
Don’t give up on what Christ died to redeem.
