I’ve been thinking a bit about joy.

Over the din­ner table the other day, my par­ents and I were talk­ing about my grandpa, and how he’s pretty much the jol­liest guy you’d ever meet. He wasn’t always that way. When my dad was young, my grandpa was still in the Tai­wanese mil­i­tary and found him­self away for nearly a year at a time. […]

After the fact

For every­thing there is a sea­son, and a time for every mat­ter under heaven. Sarah had always made light of the fact that I’m like a robot. After all, I work in code all day at my job. And I’m sta­ble, famil­iar, and pre­dictable. And I could always be counted on to “do the right […]

In search of precision

I’m a bit wor­ried I can’t articulate this.

Good Friday

We held our breaths as you let go of your last: It is finished.

To be known, you must know yourself.

I am learn­ing that there is a respon­si­bil­ity to being known by another. Sarah and I can’t expect to read each other per­fectly right off the bat. Nor can we coast off the years we’ve been together. I am only start­ing to learn about myself. Really. There is work to be done that I’ve simply […]

How she works

One point of fric­tion between myself and Sarah is that we have a really, really hard time com­mu­ni­cat­ing. I mean, it doesn’t help that women are elab­o­rate enig­mas, and as men we are Aston­ish­ingly Dense. Gen­tle­men, tell me if you’ve ever heard the fol­low­ing from your ladies: You just don’t get me. I wanted you to […]

On stress, work and the such.

In the midst of the crazi­ness of I’m real­iz­ing that I need bet­ter bound­aries. Do I really want to be that dad that doesn’t know his kids because he’s pulling late hours at the office? At the same time, it’s kind of fun stay­ing late with cowork­ers, shar­ing in the pain! Ah, yes, it’s every […]

Finally, a kick in the pants

This week at Urbana was what I needed. I think I heard what I needed to hear: echoes of the King­dom told through busi­ness­peo­ple who under­stand that with regards to their busi­nesses, “it’s not about the money, but all about rela­tion­ships.” It’s about being con­sci­en­tious to how you can use busi­ness to advance the King­dom and change […]
