While listening to a sermon by Britt Merrick, the following quote from C.S. Lewis was stated. Shook my world. “No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good. A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only [...]

On Wisdom
Knowledge is power. But what about wisdom? Is it possible to truly build a society on top of knowledge? What happens when you pull wisdom, replacing it with facts and trivia? You create a mansion built on the sand, that’s what. I have had the opportunity to meet with many brilliant individuals, many of whom [...]
What a Friend!
When I am broken, you mend When I am lost, you guide When I am confused, you simplify When I am distraught, you comfort When I am hungry, you feed When I am thirsty, you quench When I am poor, you come up with money out of thin air When I am rich, you remind [...]
The Nature of Love
I have always been an individual who has sought after knowledge and truth (qualities that may often, unfortunately, conflict). That quest has brought me down some roads that might be labeled as “interesting”. Many times, however, it has led me down the path of righteousness. Well, as those who know me are aware of, I [...]
If We Should Live
“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit [...]

Screw the Economy; How are you doing?
My wife and I have started looking to possibly purchase a house. This process can be so exciting. For me? It has gotten me frustrated. I am not frustrated with the prices of homes, the quality of homes, or really anything to do with homes, however. I am frustrated with what our society has become. [...]
Prayer for Autumn
This is a prayer that I have been praying for my daughter, Autumn, each day. I feel that these are qualities that the Lord would desire for her to have- May your feet be strengthened that you might walk along the narrow path that the Lord sets before you May your hands grow strong that [...]
What it means to love
My daughter, Autumn Joy Hansen, was born on November 28, 2009. That day my heart learned once again what it was to love. But that love was not yet complete. You see, love is not just feeling completely passionate. In that moment I would have given anything for my daughter, everything for my wife. But [...]
