I am in love with my wife Terri and I am a better person for having her in my life. My two sons are unique in their own way and I am very proud of them both. The church where I pastor, Cornerstone Community Church, gives me the freedom to be real. I can explore my spiritual development whith the freedom of not having to put on a plastic facade.

Outside of my church friends I have other friends I get to do life with, including friends from my Granite community, friends from the Historic Ellicott City district and friends related to the school my wife teaches at. On top of it all I get to work on my doctorate (i may be real, but i am still part nerd) I have a buddy that pushes me to work out three times a week and I have people who will sign up for 5k's or 1/2 marathon runs with me because it is the only way I can force myself to train. Sure I have my fair share of problems, but I am blessed that i have been able to surround myself with great people.

This site is part personal web site, part blog and part personal distraction. It contains random topics that I wanted to flesh out, things i wanted to talk about and things things that are funny or moving. I confess there is no rhyme or reason as to what is posted from post to post, nor is there any rhythm of postings (sometime 2 or 3 in a day and other times there are 2 or 3 month gaps between postings. I guess you can say this sight is much like my life: it just is.
