I am a Christian. I am still learning to put those words into a position of preeminence in my life, but it is the beginning of who I am. I am also a husband and father, and I have been blessed so much more than I deserve. God has revealed His love to me in stages – first through the love of commitment as I chose my wife and decided to love her no matter what and she has made the same commitment to me. Second He gave me the gift of the love I have for a daughter who was born to us naturally, and then through the love I have for an adopted child. I am thankful every day that God has allowed me to see Him in these ways.
As to what I do, I am a new stay-at-home dad. While this provides its challenges, it is immensely rewarding. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, drinking coffee, working on Sudoku puzzles, and cheering for the UK Wildcats (basketball), the Tennessee Titans and whoever is on my Fantasy Football team.

You have a gorgeous family!
I haven’t seen you in about 20 years when we were in the youth group together at Riverwood Church of Christ. I failed to attend regularly once I became employed at my first job (Captain D’s).
I just wanted to say, “Hello.” I would also like to mention that I always knew that one day you would do God’s work- that was obvious to me even when you were 17 years old. You were indeed chosen- I know that you know that.
In God’s Love,

You have a beautiful family. May the Lord continue to keep His hand upon you, filling you with His wisdom & discernment as a husband and Daddy.
The site you’ve created is, indeed, inspiring.

WordPress.com just featured you. You “avatar” (picture of coffee cup and Bible) drew me in, and then I found that you had adopted two children from overseas, just as we did about six years ago. They belong to you and you belong to them. May the Lord bless you as you bless them! BTW, our English site is at http://www.visionforvanuatu.wordpress.com.
