    Having three kids is hard. Actually, having two kids under 5, and an infant is hard. My daughters are now pretty easy to handle. When they’re obedient, they’re tons of fun. After the arrival of our new son though, it has been a struggle to keep the right perspective. Then something kinda crazy happened. Three…

    I have two beautiful daughters. I love them so dearly that I’m sometimes saddened by the fact that they have to grow up. About a year ago I really wrestled with my views of God and to be honest, my mistrust of God. I was afraid to trust and follow him completely because I was…

    I turned 30 today. It was really a wonderful day, because my parents kept our two kids last night, so that my wife and I could go out and be together for the evening. We went out to dinner, got some coffee, took in a movie, and talked until late before going to bed. This…

    I heard this song the other day. It literally moved me to tears. The lyrics are true and beautiful. At the end of the song, the lyrics change to “Father Lead me…”: So Father, give me the strength To be everything I’m called to be Oh, Father, show me the way To lead them Won’t…

    Since I wrote the previous post, I’ve had some feedback of family members and such wondering how I’m doing…I will tell you, better. Traveling for me is always something that makes me nervous…I guess it’s the unknown. The winter is also difficult, with the short days, but I’m feeling more and more hopeful and bright.…
