At 42, I am presently in school again, working on my third career. I am a PhD student in sociology at The University of Kentucky and my dissertation will be on the role of alternative Christian communities in sustaining culture and the environment. I am planning to teach and to continue writing.

Lisa is a novelist, presently writing her 22nd (I think) novel. She just received another Christy nomination, this time for her book Straight Up. Her most recent book, Quaker Summer, received a starred review from Publisher's Weekly.
Together, Lisa and I have a book coming out this summer entitled, Justice in the Burbs. It is about how to live justly while dwelling in a suburban context. We are presently writing another book for which the working title is More Than Enough. It deals with issues of consumption and contentment.
We have three kids. Ty is 17. She finishes high school this summer, a year early, and is planning on working in an inner-city mission for a year before starting college. When she enters college she is planning on majoring in art history.

Jake is 12. He turns 13 this summer and we are taking him to Scotland to celebrate. He plays the trumpet and rock climbs.
Gwynnie is 10. She is a Scottish dancer and plays the fiddle. Not the violin, mind you. We do live in Kentucky, after all.
We live in Lexington, KY in an intentional Christian community. Our house is 3-story, drafty Victorian badly in need of owners with an ounce of skill at fixing things up.
Well, that's the five minute version of us. If you want to post your own update but not sure how, click here to email me and I can help you.
