What is 'By the Sea'?

My writings on faith and life (and books and food.)

If it’s good and true and beautiful (and let’s face it, delicious), I’ve probably got some thoughts on it.

You’ll get personal essays, quick notes & reading recommendations, and the occasional recipe gushing about my latest favourite salad-y creation.

Why “By the Sea”?

It’s where I grew up, where I feel most myself, and where my best thoughts happen. I also love that in the Gospels, Jesus spends an awful lot of time by the sea - sometimes preaching & healing, sometimes escaping the crowds, and sometimes inviting his tired, scared, and discouraged disciples to come have breakfast. It seems like a good place to be.

I’d love to have you join me here.
