A single black dress shoe sits on a reflective marble floor inside a high-rise lobby at night, with warm holiday lights and a city skyline blurred in the background.

Yes, Die Hard Is a Christmas Movie

We return to Die Hard every December not for the action, but for its quiet truth: a man trying to come home, a marriage searching for its center, and the courage it takes to tell the truth during the holidays. This is a reflection on grace, reconciliation, and why even the loudest stories hold a quiet Christmas heart.

Yes, Home Alone Is a Christmas Movie

We remember Home Alone for the chaos, but its real Christmas story hides in the quiet scenes — a church pew, a forgotten woman, and two strangers rediscovering the courage to return. This is a reflection on grace, honesty, and the small human moments that bring us home.

When the Light Is Too Bright

This reflection traces how presence and grace live in tension: between clarity and kindness, between comfort and awakening,
between the Christ who soothes and the one who stirs.

Soft abstract waves of amber and blue light intertwining across a neutral background, symbolizing the shared rhythm of breath and grace moving through all existence.

The Shared Breath

A quiet remembrance on how every inhale is borrowed and every exhale is a gift — a reflection that begins in a shared bed, expands through family, and ends in communion with all that breathes.

Abstract waves in soft neutral tones flowing across a light horizon, symbolizing the unseen dialogue between grace and readiness.

The Longest Interview

I never really interviewed for jobs. Each one found me through presence. And this morning I realized — Christ has been my longest interviewer.

A golden ribbon of light flows across a soft parchment sky, ending in radiant hands lifting a cross and heart within a burst of light — symbolizing grace in motion and the coherence of gravity, grace, and gravitas.

Christian Is a State of Being

To be Christian is not to claim belief but to remember grace — love without boundaries, forgiveness without limits, kindness without expectations.

Her Lord, Her Holding: What the Hymn Still Teaches Us

When the Church forgets she is her—a living body, not a brand—we begin to lose the very tenderness that holds us. This reflection begins with an old hymn and ends as an invitation to feel again what we were made to hold.
