Another beggining

This is the beginning of a new journey of faith…

I haven’t really written much lately. November to now has turned into the busiest part of my life in a few years. The last few months have flown by. Between work, family, and life in our new church home, Clarity Church, we have been going, planning, and doing with little time for rest.

I am blessed to be a father to a young man who is growing in Christ and husband to an amazing Christ loving woman that honors me and makes me proud to be a married man.

At home we were hit with a household flu epidemic. The house sprang a few new … Click to Continue

It’s my Birthday too, ya!

 

On this day of celebration, I see just how much things have changed, despite those things that stay the same.

Here I sit, finally completing a thought, putting my inspiration of spirit into a glom of words, to share with you. Looking in my “drafts” folder, I can count no less than 6 posts that are incomplete.

I can’t help but do a … Click to Continue
