Welcome fellow life travelers who're committed to a more realistic view of ourselves and our faith in God. This blog is an attempt to "flesh out" key points of a life journey within 365 daily buckets. I'm a curious person by nature and continue to be surprised at the value of introspection grounded in reality. Might daily reflections "paint" a good life that we can work out and share with other community members? The kind of community that might be experienced in the only church in town.
One Church Town is a devotional-style blog by an Iowa-raised writer living in Holland, Michigan, that blends faith, personal growth, and community. Using personal stories, spiritual readings, and vivid metaphors—such as a town with only one church to symbolize close-knit faith life— as Rommel, he explores themes like peace versus vibrancy and living with purpose. His posts offer daily encouragement, invite deep introspection, and create a sense of companionship for readers.
