Graffiti. Public transportation. Outdoor seating. Stick shifts. Poor parking. Wine. History. Diversity. Scooters. Coffee. Small flats. Public parks. Instruments. Tourists. Different road signs. People reading. Entertainment. Beggars. Crying children. Laughing friends. Early-closing stores. Exercise. Fewer McDonalds. Expensive cuisine. The same annoying iPhone default ringtone.

Written 04/21/16 of 04/19/16 Long story short: when I landed in Brussels, everything went smooth at the airport. The passport-checker man told me to cut my hair so I would once again look like the child in my photo. Cool detail: my mom’s neighbor handed me a few Euros before I left home, which allowed me … Continue reading L’aventure commence
I met a businessman, a lady named Esther, and a dentist, all while waiting for my first overseas flight from Newark to Brussels. I had a list of things to do that I “forgot” to do before leaving (like purchase clothes for a wedding, figure out train situation for arrival w/no phone, etc.), but I wound up … Continue reading Day 1
I just want you to know that God is good and He is at work. He is good and He is at work whether you choose to acknowledge Him or not. He is good and He is at work whether you love Him or hate Him. He is good and He is at work whether you were in … Continue reading Really?
A couple three people actually know the behind-the-scenes details in my life. Close friends. A few family members. Half a handful of colleagues (2.5?). I thought I might catch you up, if you care to know. Here’s a glimpse of what has been going on recently in the #lifeofGreg. I had a pretty sweet gig working … Continue reading Details.

Who I will meet is completely unknown, with the exception of a handful of former coworkers, missionary friends, and a couple that may … Continue reading Set in Stone
All 9 days of my southeastern sabbatical were good but Tuesday was better. There were highlights: Florida weather, historic sites, times of laughter, Godly conversations, card games, a sunrise over the ocean, an awesome church, and memorable meals sprinkled throughout, but Tuesday was a string of Divinity. I find it humorous because Tuesday was the … Continue reading An Atypical Tuesday
I have become quite the slacker. My writing time seems to have been plagued over the last 6 months, and it has started getting to me. I am working to resurrect that portion of my day. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing some stories, lessons learned, and God sightings. In the meantime, … Continue reading Quick Updates
I remember the day I quit church choir. I was a young lad who loved lots of things, but singing in a group was not one of them. My parents made me turn my song book in to Karen, the lady-in-charge, and explain why I was no longer going to be a member. To this day I … Continue reading ..Kept Secret Until this Very Blog Post
If you know me, you know there is a small island that has captured my heart. The people, the food, the culture, the needs, the natural beauty, the food (jk, but seriously), the youth group, the basketball, the fire pit worship…they all make me long to be back there. Anyways, while visiting over Spring Break, … Continue reading Youthful, fruitful living
