The Blog: Voices from the road

Dear friend, I bring you stories from my back road travels; looking for God in the imperfections, the messy, and the real of life. I share my own experiences in hopes that you can catch a glimpse of yourself in them, and know that even when life gets hard, you’re not alone.

The Power of A Mom’s Love – Hard to explain

Elizabeth and I were talking the other morning. I was explaining to her how I had spoken to my mom the evening before and just spent some time ‘catching up’. When mom and I hung up she said, “Night night, honey.” Something I haven’t heard in 40 years or so…

It is 28 degrees, 12:00 midnight and every star the sky could show is blazing down on the airfield in Greensboro NC. I worked 3rd shift as a fueler for Piedmont Airlines, based out of a FBO (Fixed Based Operations). This is a place on the field where small planes

South America – Here we come!

To all of my friends in South America, I wanted to send this special invitation to just you. I hold to the belief that our dreams are more important than reality sometimes. When I was a child, I dreamed of flying. As the years have passed, I decided to write
