About Author: Kari

Every day I sort through the jumbled mess of my life, study Scripture to see some sense in it all, and share my words with the hope that some bit of me would connect with some bit of you in order that we both might live more fully pleasing God. I do this through community, retreats & conferences, blog posts, and books. More About Me

Took a few of my favorite teens to Wicked! Loved it and love them. My favorite quote: “That might be your secret but it doesn’t make it true.” The singing is insane 🤩 AND the original Broadway actresses make a cameo. So so good!💚

In summer 2022 when we lived with Papa I had this

In summer 2022 when we lived with Papa I had this crazy idea that Dutch might try cross country at Molalla high school. I reached out to the coach, got the info, but then Dutch decided he didn’t want to, that it’d be too much to juggle that and school. When I emailed the coach to say he wasn’t going to join, he wrote back a long letter, supporting Dutch’s decision but also encouraging him to stretch himself & sharing about his own high school experiences. When I read it I thought that’s the kind of guy I’d like influencing my son. I let Dutch read it, and later that day Dutch said, “Ok actually I think I’ll try it.”

Three seasons later here we are, his Sr year awards night. Dutch was happy to finally get his 18:46 PR, and while he ran JV most of the season, he was happy to get his third letter & join the Varsity guys as an alternate at State where they placed 5th!

Most of all I’m just so grateful for the growth I have seen in our son these three seasons, for his awesome teammates, and quality coaches who go above and beyond in so many ways. Dutch I know it wasn’t always easy and we are SO proud of you. ❤️
