Sorry that I haven’t updated in such a long time. I was really sick for over a week and then have spent the last week or so catching up from the week I missed.
This past weekend I was able to spend some time with some new found friends in South Carolina. Dawn and I went to visit them 6 weeks or so ago. I had so much fun that I wanted to go a spend another couple days learning from them and seeing how their organization runs and glean any take-aways that will make me a better leader, manager, friend, husband, and parent. Thanks to Tony, Perry, Ken, Joshua, Jared and everyone else I met for making the two days special.
I got home just in time on Monday for Noah to give me my 35+1 to grow on birthday spankings and to open up a few birthday cards from friends and family.
I promise more post will be coming soon telling you more about what is going on in our world.

Mark Beeson, Senior Pastor at Granger Community Church, had a thought provoking post. A couple of things that stuck out to me is that just like the woodpecker we can hoard “stuff” that in the long run isn’t import or relevant to our lives. Amazing that a bird could hoard 50,000 acorns and yet the majority of its food supply be insects. What are the things in our lives, in my life, that I am holding on to, worrying about, or otherwise hoarding that hold no relevance or importance in the long-term? I am asking God to point those out in my life. I am asking him to let me lead a life that is more intentional.
I like how Mark summarizes the things that are important:
Be intentional about your life.
Your children will be home for a very brief time.
Your parents will not be strong forever. Bodies wear out; minds dim.
Your church has opportunity today it won’t have tomorrow.
Your friendships don’t keep; ignore them and you lose them.
To me these are things that are important, especially as my kids get older by the hour.
