Life - Faith - One Bridge
My cousin Curtis emailed me this morning with some fun memories from my youth. Curtis and his brother Greg were from South Florida, so we only saw them over Christmas. They would pile in the car, drive for 8+ hours, arrive in Atlanta, and we would be in constant motion and adventure until they left. Great memories. [Read more…]
Life has been quite a ride for me personally. I have now been traveling in and around Asia for over 15 years. It is hard to believe it has been that long. Really hard to believe. I moved to Asia when I was 28 and now I am 42.
Travel used to be a dream of mine. I watched movies and dreamed of cool places I could go and what adventures I could partake in. However, since traveling as many as 200 days a year for much of the past 15 years, I am now over it.
I still enjoy the places and people where I visit (mainly for work), however, the mystique of travel is now gone.
One of the ways I have enjoyed staying engaged with the process of my frequent travels is to write blogs about it. Often these posts about travel have been born out of sheer boredom, but they have been fun for me to write nonetheless.
Here are some of my blog posts about travel over the past two years:
As for now, I am thankfully not traveling near as much I have for most of my years abroad. However, there is still enough jumping over oceans and staying in cheap Asian hotels that I’m sure I will have more blog posts about travel in the coming days.
As you read through these posts, are there any other topics you think I should cover or write about? If so, please let me know.

This very word of “Christian” is loaded. [Read more…]
I began this “journey” about a year or so ago. I had been living in bad patterns for probably two years at that point, but it was finally catching up to me.
This journey really began when I noticed that I had been getting more easily irritated with small, insignificant things in life. It then came more too light when my friend Michael Gregory brought up my growing irritability over lunch one day. That day was a good start for me realizing that I was “off” and needed to figure out what was going on internally.
Second, my dear sister Becky mentioned it to me about a year ago. [Read more…]
Last week I enjoyed writing on 9 observations of an American airport. In keeping with my theme of observations of the American aviation system, here I will tackle some of what goes on during domestic flights in my beloved homeland.
Just as I have noticed certain types of people who fly on long, international flights, so I have also noticed a few characters who seem to be omnipresent on flights while I’m jumping around the “lower 48” in America.
Here are 7 people who frequent domestic flights in America:
