Cancer Sucks!
I posted this on Twitter a few hours ago:
I posted that after hanging up from a heart wrenching call with my co-manager Steve Terrones. Steve’s brother Will is in the middle of a cancer fight. Will is fighting hard, but to be honest, he isn’t winning. It sucks and my heart is broken for Steve [...]
Hijacked by Lies
A few weeks ago I mentioned that Pastor Jud was in the middle of a series called Hijacked. It has been really tough to attend some of the services because they have really challenged some of the things that I struggle with: anger, worry, bitterness, etc. Honestly I think at some level we all struggle [...]

Throwing a Party
A year ago today I launched Down Write Honest. I had a specific goal in mind, a very unhealthy and specific goal: spew my garbage to all who would read (listen) under the auspicious that I was being “honest”. There was no format for what I was going to write except that I was going [...]
