Testing 1 2 , Testing 1 2 , eh hello blog world, in spite of my wife's outrageous request to write again via this blog, I wanted to first say 'Thank You' , 'Thank You' for believing in the words I write and the words I say through my writing, because all in all they're a direct reflection of who I really am...(that was meant to be a joke)

So with that point made. Its been an exhausting, but very joyful last 2-3 years...

I got a job. Like a career.

Had a baby.

Bought a house....um with a lot of HELP

Much more probably went on just cant really get past those 3...

Hope to get back to more fun in 2014. Too much seriousness . Not that past 2-3 years weren't fun.

But I think I spent way too much time worrying about finances and worldly temporal feelings rather than just enjoying life...

I realized past 2 weeks while reading a book about Joy, how UN-joyful I was becoming...

Its nice to look back and see where God has led us, but I know He is leading us back to the core of who we are ... His Children.

So with a child like faith and a hopeful heart, I would like to make a toast to anyone who come into contact with me the rest of the year...

I pray I can be a joy and a light for your day, not a hindrance full of negativity.

There is too much of that already in this world.

I pray I can truly live eternally minded rather than focused so much on this world: retirement, business, property investment, etc...these aren't entirely bad things in themselves, but I get wrapped up too much in them.

Here is Family. Here is to Millie Ruth and being the best Daddy I can possibly be.

Here is to Ashley Kay and being the best husband I can possibly be,

Y'all are my biggest fans and the only ones who truly understand how I function.

So hopefully I can get back to writing some and making you smile, I will try and keep it light, however you know I will get into some theology and poetry and you may get bored with some of that, but you know can always look for some humor.

And ultimately.
