I Love Pizza


I love pizza and my wife started making it from "scratch" and she has nearly perfected it. Look at this slice and tell me this is not a good pizza.

Puddin's Response To Daddy

Watch how Puddin' responds after dad tells her "no," Ahhhh the fun has started.

Why I Haven't Been Blogging

We have had some struggles in the business over the last few months and dad has had to be working more than usual as of late, but when he's home he doesn't have time to blog because he's chasing after a puddin' These are tough, but blessed times.

The squeaking in the video doesn't mean we have something that needs WD-40, Puddin' has some new shoes that squeaks when she walks around.

Next Great Composer?


The Mad Maestro at work. She has already picked up her mom's love for music. And will stop whatever she is doing when music comes on the television. Right now Switchfoot is her favorite.

Money, Possessions, & Eternity

I have always heard of Randy Alcorn and know a friend who thinks it's evil to read fiction, but about a year ago fell in love reading Randy Alcorn novels. We have three books by Alcorn on our shelves at home and like many of the books we bought with the best intentio we just never get around to reading. (I told Amber I can't buy any books in 2008 because I have about twenty in my office I need to read first). Two books have intigued me about Randy Alcorn, and one is changing my life (and priorities). Over Christmas with some free time I picked up my copy of "Money, Possessions, & Eternity," it has been life changing. It's much more than a money management book (what I was expecting), but it's a challenge for us to think about how we invest in eternity. In all that we do (spending time, money, etc) we are either investing for earthly pleasures or investing for eternity (Matthew 6:19-21). I am ashamed to say that for many years about 90% of my investments have been for earthly treasures where moth and rust do destroy (and it has been destroyed). This year I'm committed to evaluating my time, money, family, relationships, ministry, and business and seek God and make sure I'm living for eternity. I encourage you to visit Rand Alcorns website and blog at www.epm.org. But more than that this new year stop and evaluate if you are living for now or living for eternity. My prayer is that we will all live for eternity.
