5 Reasons to Try Ethiopia

March 12, 2019March 12, 20191 Comment

(Yes, this post is six months late. Yes, this checks out with who I am as a person. Proceed.) I went to Ethiopia this past summer. If you are like 98% of the people I told this to, your follow-up question is, "Oh nice! On a mission trip?" No. I love Jesus. A lot. And … Continue reading 5 Reasons to Try Ethiopia

Meanderings in Nashville

March 7, 2019March 7, 2019Leave a comment

There's one mid-south town I'm asked about more than any others: Nashville. I think this is partly because a great deal of people are under the impression I live there. I don't. I live in KNOXville, Tennessee, a little under three hours east. But it's fine. Luckily, for the many people who ask for recommendations, … Continue reading Meanderings in Nashville

Lexploring: a day in Lexington

I don't have extraordinarily fond memories of Cades Cove. Cades Cove is an area in the Smokey Mountains with camping and hiking and most notably an 11 mile "scenic loop." Sounds nice, right? I thought so too. I took my sister and brother-in-law there over my very first Tennessee Christmas break to show them the mountains, … Continue reading Abram’s Falls In Fallmost

I Came in Like a Water Fall

September 15, 2016Leave a comment

I drive between Nashville and Knoxville quite a bit. It's a nice drive, nothing fancy but long enough to feel like a road trip and quick enough to be consistently enjoyable. The views were fine, but I never felt like it lifted a finger to the views between Knoxville and Asheville... until I learned about Ozone … Continue reading I Came in Like a Water Fall

I woke up this morning (at EIGHT AM on my DAY OFF, but no, no it's fine) to the sound of leaf blowers. By the time I left my apartment, all the leaves that had been covering the courtyard for the last month so completely that I had not been able to tell whether I … Continue reading Max Patch
