“All this we ask in the Master’s name. AMEN.” is a phrase I heard over and over as a kid – every time my family would sit down to eat. Both my parents ended their prayers with this phrase each and every night. I’m not sure if it was passed down to them or if…

“I Want You”
We’ve been in the car a lot lately. Kasen and Kesleigh are pretty good travelers, but on our way back from Ft Worth recently, Kasen had a little meltdown. He was tired of being in his car seat, and kept repeating, “I want you.” to Miranda and I. It’s a phrase that he says quite…

Here are some of our latest videos from this summer.
Why the Grass Makin’ Noise?
Our family took a quick trip to McKinney Falls with some friends this past weekend and Kasen (my 2 and a half year old) and I slept in a tent one night. We had a great conversation as we settled down for the night. Here’s how it went: Daddy: Kasen, you know who loves you??…
Lingering Love
I’ve been thinking about my dad quite a bit lately. I guess it makes sense. Father’s Day was this past month. The anniversary of my dad’s death was this month too. It’s been 13 years, but grief is weird. I feel like I’ve dealt with my dad’s death and life still goes on, but grief…
Risk in the Blood

Proud Parent Post
I figure it’s time for a “parent post” with pics/videos of my kids. Kasen at the Beach from Steve Corn on Vimeo. Kesleigh at the Beach from Steve Corn on Vimeo. Kesleigh Plays with Toilet Paper from Steve Corn on Vimeo. Classic kid video clip. When her brother, Kasen was this age, he liked did…
The Ditch
I lived in Enid, Oklahoma when I was in elementary school. It was the 70s and I wore plaid pants. (My mom dressed me.) I walked a few blocks each day to Hayes Elementary School and played in “the ditch.” If there was a movie like “The Sandlot” about my childhood, it’d be called, “The…
