Awaiting the New Year

So it’s basically 12:30 a.m. and I can’t sleep.  To start with, I had an excellent Christmas and my wife, son, and I were able to visit all of our family including some friends from college.  We visited BoydBettis.com’s church in Jacksonville called Rivertown and it was really cool.  Boyd preached out of Mark 14 […]

Frustration at its best

Because I haven’t posted any new posts on my blog since November 10 I’m still surprised to see that there is activity on my page!  I have to say there are many good excuses to why I haven’t been blogging.  These past few weeks have been pretty frustrating and I have to say I’m writing […]
