Happy Birthday Anna
Happy Birthday Anna!!! 8 years ago you showed up in our lives and we haven’t been the same since. You make each and every day interesting. You have a great sense of humor, love being a drama queen, and are simply “fabulous”.
My people will call your people for a breakfast date soon. Mommy and Daddy love you lots and we can’t wait to see how God will move in your life the next 8 years. We pray for you every day.
Well I logged in this morning to do some maintenance and realized it has been over two months since I have posted anything. I have been using twitter quite a bit, but that is no excuse. I have lots of ideas in my head, just need to get them on paper. I am committed to that over the next month so stay tuned.
Noah turns 4 today. The last 4 years have flown by. We are excited to see what Noah does over the next couple of years. It will be interesting to see how he responds in school. He has shown affinity for soccer and also baseball (he can throw well with both his left and right hands). He is learning to wrestle with his dad and can throw a pretty mean right cross when he wants. Most importantly, he loves his sisters and his mom and dad. We love him too……..
This is Emily a few (3 to be exact at the zoo) years back. She was cute then, but she is beautiful now. Her mom and I are so proud of our little girl. She is growing up and becoming one of the smartest 10 year olds I know, a talented musician (she has played guitar in chapel three times now), and an awesome soccer player. I can’t wait to see what the next 10 years hold for her life. Our prayer is that she continues to develop a strong faith in Jesus and has a desire to serve him all the days of her life. We love you, Em!!!
The last month has been a hectic one. Lots of things going on, most that I can’t share at this time.
I have a series of posts brewing in my head that I hope to get typed out this weekend and ready to post next week. So check back then.
In the mean time you can follow my everyday life on Twitter
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.

One of the most profound books that I have read in recent years is William (Paul) Young’s book The Shack. It was so profound that I went out and bought 6 of them and gave them to my family. It is one of those books I will read often (at least once a year). Anyway, for those of you who follow me on Twitter, I mentioned this week that the guys from Catalyst Road Trip caught up with Paul and Ernie Johnson from TNT NBA fame.

Dawn and I spent the weekend in Anderson, South Carolina visiting the community and NewSpring Church. I have been following NewSpring for about the last year or so. Tony Morgan and his wife Emily graciously hosted us on Sunday showing us the lay of the land and the campus at NewSpring. Here are some of my first impressions:
Lots more to share. I need to unpack my thoughts from the day. Good thing Dawn and I have 9 hours of window time tomorrow.
