As my birthday comes to a close, I’m a pretty content man. The day was filled with lots of reminders of the good things in my life, and the year has been one of some great/difficult/wonderful moments. Over the past 9 months I’ve moved back into youth ministry. The change Read more

I think it happened while we were in Florida. I’m not sure what they fed him or let him watch on tv, but Charlie changed while we were gone. We’ve been trying to potty train him, but I don’t think that has anything to do with it. The pee stains Read more
