I’ve been too busy, and too sick, to blog much lately. I’m hoping to become more consistent once again. So my first blog post in about a week will be one to bring honor where much honor is due- all for the glory of God. I am wrapping up our “Money Matters” series as a church. The key idea for this series is Jesus’ words;” Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” This... read more

A Full Week
So I haven’t been blogging too often lately as I have been extraordinarily busy. Busy, but doing good.

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.
