Born of Fire
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I have great kids. Recently I was listening to a comedian who talked about "those parents" who want to call you every time their child does something. "Hey Kenneth! Billy just took his first steps!" To the recipient of those calls, texts, DM's and such, many …
About a month ago, 2 of my brothers, my girlfriend and her daughter, and I had the opportunity to go to sunny (and very hot) Arizona to celebrate my mom's birthday. A great time was had by all, and as always, it made me appreciate this powerhouse of a woman all the more. Now, for …
Christmas 2015 has come and gone. It seems like there is so much preparation and stuph that goes into the event, only to have it zip past us so fast, we don’t even realize that it is over. The other day I went into Starbucks, ordered my drink and got into the car feeling like …
This is a little late, but still worth the post . Two weeks ago was Father’s day. I don’t know about all fathers, but for me, sometimes Father’s day can be difficult. I don’t live with my kids anymore, and they are grown, living their own lives and stuff. When I do see them I often go through …
So i was talking with my mom today, of course, being Mother’s day. Again, she amazed me… I’ve already bragged that she went skydiving at age 66… awesome… I haven’t bragged as much that she was in a TV movie with Pam Dawber, but yes, she was… I remember her taking 2 & 3 jobs …

Not really :-). Just getting a well needed facelift. When I first started the blog, I knew that the format was only going to satisfy me for a short time. I didn’t like the fact that the older format only had a fixed header, and just some of the text and layout was a bit …
My weekend was pretty planned out, to the point that I thought I wasn’t going to get around to doing a post. I literally had “things to do, places to go, and people to see”. Some of my plans fell through, but all in all, it’s turning out to be a good weekend. But back …
I wanted to do a Memorial Day post… well, I wanted to, and I didn’t. This year it is different for me, having a son in the service. Over the past few months since he got back from training, we’ve had some interesting conversations about military service, deployment, and other such topics. When I came …
My daughter just got home last night from being half way around the world on a mission trip. She was so excited! I loved hearing the stories during the ride home. Some amazing things happened on the trip, and at some point I’m sure I will see the 2000 + pictures she took (no fooling… …
