About Me

I am a Christian that is very much in process. I am a husband of one. I am a father of two. I am a coffee snob. I am a hat snob. I am a blue jeans and dress shirts guy. I am a man far more blessed than I deserve.

My son thinks every night should be a repeat of him waking, me and Olivia getting up every couple hours to go get him back to sleep. Everytime I think its over he wakes again. At least Bill Murray got to bust a clock.

Small things

July 19th, 2010 § 1

My wife has become a champ at finding craigslist deals. One of her latest finds is a porch swing. Several months before closing Crossmark I preached a semon called small things.
