Sophia and I are donut connoisseurs. She prefers strawberry with sprinkles while, as of late, I have been quite fond of maple glazed. Howard’s Donuts is just a quick trip across Germantown Pkwy, so we try to get over there when we can. Here’s bit of our conversation from our last donut date.


The donuts are definitely worth the trip, but what I really look forward to is the chance to hang out with Sophia.

Balancing family life with studies and ministry can be difficult. I remember one of my first days in class as a student at MABTS. Dr. Allison told us that there might be some days that we need to miss class to be with our family. He encouraged us not to neglect our family during our time in seminary.

That’s some of the best advice I’ve gotten. Books have to be read and papers have to be written, but sometimes the most important thing you can do is in a donut shop with someone who thinks you hung the moon.
