It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since I stood outside that glass in the hospital and wondered if I could really be a father. It’s been the best year of my life though. Miranda has been amazing too. I hope to write more soon, but for now, I’ll just post a few pics/video…

Halloween – Kasen’s First
Kasen was a dinosaur for his first Halloween. He didn’t really trick-or-treat, but loved the candy he got from mama and daddy. Dum dum are his favorite. Here are a few pics and videos from last night. We also went to the B-Wood football game .
Breakin’ the Law
Is it OK to rebel against a rule/law/etc.?As a youth minister, one of the topics that comes up over and over is about obeying parents (and other authorities).

We weren’t overly concerned, but didn’t want to risk anything since it was threatening to be a hurricane. Anyway, we packed a few things together and took the dogs with us too. On…
Noticing
I have been thinking about “noticing” lately. I even wrote a journal for our students which centered on this idea. (Of course most of the material is from Louie Giglio) Anyway, It’s not a new idea but I think the fast-paced world we live in, which bounces us from one activity to the next, has…
