Adventures in the Morning
Noah is in kindergarten. This is the way things are. Each day I drop him off, each day we run through our little routine. He walks to my car door, the manly Jetta that I drive, opens it up as I unlock it from the door to our house, runs and buckles himself in with [...]

Being Thankful
Fridays are supposed to be the end of the week, but because I work from home, it seems they are only the beginning. The weekends are really the bulk of my “work,” with the kids being home, juggling schedules of birthday parties, soccer games, and ballet, to hoping to rekindle my relationship with my wife [...]

Latest on my Health
It’s hot right now. Hot in this garage. Though the temperature has somewhat subsided, I can still feel the heat licking my skin as I type. My kids are in school now, and it feels like it should be fall; yet my body tells me summer still. Barney is playing on our Netflix as the [...]

Yes, I just said that. [...]

A Line Nazi and a Hard Copy
I wanted to add something funny. I was waiting in line today to drop Mia off at her second day of pre-school, and as I walked in, I noticed a line of mothers with their children along the wall. This was my first time dropping Mia off as Kelly did so the first day and [...]

Really? Repentance?!
I wrote a book on Repentance. Who wants to read a book on repentance-honestly? I looked on the top ten bestsellers, and, you guessed it, not one of them has to do with repentance. Why? Because when it comes down to it, no one likes the idea of being wrong, and each person wants to [...]

PLEASE Pray and Be Inspired
“Your husband has Stomach Cancer. And it has spread to his Lymph Nodes everywhere in his abdomen,” the doctor said to me in late February, 2012. I searched for an appropriate response as my mind raced from hearing the diagnosis we’d been searching for months to hear and all I could say back to him [...]
