Alright!  I must admit…it’s been a minute since I last wrote to you at length.  But, I have been busy.  Isn’t this the excuse for about everything we don’t do in our life…that we’re busy?  Sure, you HEAR me everyday, but this is now, along with everything else, a “blogging society”.

So, it has been busy in the world.  War, rumors of war, earthquakes, famine…sounds like the end of times.  However, maybe, we’ve all been too busy to notice all that is taking place.  Personally, I could get consumed in just my wife and our 6 children.  But then, I wouldn’t be able to support them if I didn’t work.  So, like millions of people like you, I am busy at work blogging to you about…well…me!

Blogging not just about me, but us!  My oldest, Shanda, a UNC grad and middle school math teacher is now in a serious relationship…her first.  This could be the one, and I could find myself giving my 1st daughter away.   Brittani, my high school senior and valedictorian, has been accepted to EVERYWHERE she has applied.  We’re praying for scholarships…in Jesus’ name!  Joseph, a junior and Josh, a freshman, both missed going to state championship football and basketball games by 1 victory.  Jeremy, a 6th grader, continues to forge his own identity as a student athlete, while Jordan, our 6 year old daughter with Down Syndrome, continues to amaze everyone.

And all the while, Sonia, my lovely wife, and I stay busy doing what we love…seeing our children stay grounded in the Lord…while in the busy world.
