Spreading Sunshine and Sharing Faith
I'm a land lover. I am not crazy about flying. I like the rubber on the pavement and my feet on the ground. Up here in the Olympic Peninsula, they have these things called ferries.

We sang this song today in church and our awesome neighbor Rachel Gillette sent me this amazing picture today of my wife Jen Bringhurst reading to Xavier. I thought I'd share both since they go together so well.
As I opened Facebook today, a flood of memories and feelings came to me as I saw pictures of what was going on two years ago on this day. In some ways two years is not a long time. We've had a lot of change in our life over the past two years (as I'm... Continue Reading →

This week I have had two different friends touring through southern France and posting pictures of the town of Carcasonne.
