Faith and Family: A Dad's Search for Truth

Frederick Buechner once wrote, “The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you." I started this blog to share random thoughts about my quest to become a better father, husband, and Christian, and to discuss what I learn in my everyday life and where my place at the party might be. I look forward to comments and stories from you about your own journeys.

About Me

NoVA Dad
Frederick Buechner once wrote, “The grace of God means something like: Here is your life.
