No. Thank you

I had an incredible time tonight! Though I was away from my immediate family, I was with my new family and it was such a life giving time for me. With all the transitions taking place

Take-Backs, Do-Overs, or Reset Buttons.

A few days ago, Jess and I were taking a leisurely walk in our neighborhood park when we happened to notice a mother and daughter walking in front of us. We have all seen this before. The little girl was walking along the path about ten feet in front of her mother laughing, playing, and enjoying her independence when suddenly she

Criminal Confession I

Here I am again about to do something that I would have rather not; Confess. My confession will probably cause me some shame; perhaps cause some people to turn on me and even usher in the arrival of newly motivated haters. But this morning I realized after a very difficult night that the only way I can move forward on this new journey that God has me on is to confess my crime.

Interested Supporters

Tonight I had an excellent conversation about the difference between a supportive person and someone who is interested in your dreams.

Love When It Hurts
