Last weekend I went to Arizona to see my brother Greg, my sister Andi, and my friend Natalie compete in the Ironman Event.
I put together a video which pretty much sums it all up. I hope you like it....

Being Daddy
PoeticIntensity
I recently wrote a piece about how much I miss the things that used to come so easily before I had children.
Although everything I wrote is true, writing that article caused me to reflect on how lucky I am to be a parent at all.
The things which I now miss due to parenthood are luxuries related to selfishness. The things I enjoy because...

As far as I go, I can think right now of one specific thing which I co...

Even before the speakers begin, I've gotta note that the music played and sung during this conference has moved me just as much as the speakers' messages have. Simply superb.

Goes to show that a good Christian...
