Why Along the Way?

Well hello, my name is Caleb. A father, founder, builder, and weary traveler still learning that the most meaningful encounters rarely happen where I expect them.

What you will find here is simply a collection of honest reflections written in the middle of real life—through grief and joy, success and failure, certainty and doubt. Some are essays. Some are poems. Some are prayers. Some are simply stones I never want to forget. And most importantly, breadcrumbs of hope for whoever may stumble across this collection.

All throughout history, individuals have walked with God, wrestled with God, and have been touched by Him. The common theme throughout? Memorial and remembrance. Not because He would forget, but because they would.

These are mine.
