There's something kind of scary about doing a blog, as if you are somehow opening parts of yourself to people you may never know or ever see. My hope is that something that is written here will help to make sense of life for some reader (and probably the writer as well). If you continue to read over the days ahead, you'll hear more about me, more about my story. Some days, what I write may make sense to know one but me. Other days, I believe I may write words and phrases that help bring life into focus for some other traveler. Whatever the case, I want the words to be God's so He can use them to write what He will into the minds of those who read (all 3 of you). About me...I'm a single dad with two great kids. We are just two years removed from the loss of my wife and youngest child in a tragic accident. Much of what you read will be the musings of a man who has known success and tragedy, love and loneliness, heartache and joy unspeakable. I'm a church planter (a guy who starts churches for those who aren't familiar with the term). But, way before that, I am a son, brother, father, and follower of Christ. I hope that whatever those phrases mean for you, you will set them aside and see what we can learn together from the journey. So, as your friend and fellow seeker, welcome to my world. Till next time...
