Every week I take my daughter to church by myself. Its not because I am a single. I am actually married and my wife is wonderful, but she refuses to go to church with us. It would be very easy to leave my daughter at home while I go to church. I won’t lie, there [...]

2009 was a rough year for my marketing research business.  It had started to recover though, and this year was looking reasonable. But guess what just happened. My biggest client got laid off today. There is nothing like a roller coaster, eh? Praise God in good times and bad! Your prayers are definitely appreciated, both [...]

Gentlemen: If you are getting ready to travel, I encourage you to use a new agency Fosters Travel. The agency was developed by a friend of mine. He and his wife just found out that their youngest son has a terminal disease and that while they can prolong his life into his 20s, there is no [...]

Hey all, My 4 year old, Nub, (who also has Down Syndrome) is having a hernia surgery Monday morning and I sure would appreciate your prayers. This is a complication from his open-heart surgery when he was 1 year old that saved his life. It’s supposed to be out-patient surgery and No Big Deal, but [...]

We get to see baby #2 in all his or her glory. Pray for us, for everything to be OK. Update:  “no abnormalities detected.”  It’s a brother! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
