Excerpt from ‘Random Thoughts from the First Decade of the New Millenium’, Part 2 (as seen in Rethink Monthly)
Communication: One of the most notable technological and social changes that took place during the past decade was the ways in which we communicate. Texting, The decade started with almost every adult in the nation owning a mobile phone, and people talked on them proudly- some even sporting new high tech ‘secret service’ish’ headsets to gloat in their new self-found importance.

Excerpt from ‘Random Thoughts from the First Decade of the New Millenium’, Part 1 (as seen in Rethink Monthly)

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
