I love to write. Since I was a child, I have written my story down. Words are my way of reaching out to the world and sharing a little bit of me & a little bit of what I’ve learned, and a way of creating conversation with others. I published a book based on my two master’s theses, and I have blogged here and on my church’s blog. You can also find archived blogs at the HuffPo Religion Blog. You can find links to my online writing below, as well as PDFs of my thesis work.
