When The MAZE Came Marching Into Town
As Jim and I walk onto Baggott Field, we meet Larry, the head baseball coach. We all quickly connect about Larry’s coaching career and Jim’s playing days at Texas. The guys start gathering in the dugout in anticipation for what will happen next. I quickly introduce myself and hand it over to Jim. Now you … Continue reading
What is a Maze?

Typically we, as a campus ministry, don’t focus our time and efforts towards something … Continue reading
Providence is not easy.
Today, four years ago, marks the day I was released from the hospital in Hungary. Maybe you’re wondering how I got there in the first place. That’s a good question, and a long answer. *For the sake of brevity for some, I’ll underline most of my main thoughts.* When I first began thinking, considering, praying … Continue reading
