Secondly, the best thing about being a writer is when what I write moves someone. Truly, writing without the desire to move and stir others seems empty.(less)

Namely, it comes from playing baseball in high school with some of the best friends I have ever had. I used these friendships as a starting point for the friendships you will find in the book. Much of the emotional turmoil of this novel also comes from the emotional turmoils I experienced in the waning years of high school. Lastly, this novel leans into my faith and my deep appreciation for the love and forgiveness Jesus has offered me throughout some of my darkest moments.(less)

These questions and many more make the task daunting. But, one thing this COVID season has taught me is that writing is not enough. Having a great idea is not enough. Putting a book together and making it able to be purchased is not enough. I am not Read more of this blog post »

Kristofor’s Quotes

“Most kinds of power require a substantial sacrifice by whoever wants the power…Whatever it is you seek, you have to put in the time, the practice, the effort. You must give up a lot to get it. It has to be very important to you. And once you’ve attained it, it is your power. It can’t be given away: it resides in you.”
Ian Malcolm—Jurassic Park”

Leo Tolstoy
“The highest wisdom is not founded on reason alone, not on the worldly sciences of physics, history, chemistry, and the like, into which intellectual knowledge is divided. The highest wisdom is one. The highest wisdom has but one science—the science of the whole—the science explaining the whole creation and man’s place in it.”
