Now with the Christmas holiday behind us, our attention turns to the new year and all of the challenges and opportunities that 2009 will bring. Samantha and I sat down a while back to talk about the next several years as a means to keep the “big picture” in perspective. The next calendar year does [...]

It is a real challenge to find anyone who says that they do not like the Christmas holiday. When separated from the hustle and bustle of the holiday shopping and traveling, Christians and non-Christians alike can seem to agree that the winter festival is among their favorite times of the year. For most, it is [...]

My wife flies out to Fort Myers, Fla. tomorrow for a trade show, so I am all stocked up for the next three days with TV dinners and use of her car while she is away. I am debating whether to attend the Digital Nashville December Meetup/Mixer, as it would be tough to get down [...]

In recognition of tomorrow’s holiday, I humbly submit the following:
I am thankful for the friendships that have persisted and those that have grown in the past year. It is always a pleasure when we come together, whether that be to celebrate milestones or just dropping in for a quick meal while in town.
I am thankful [...]

I could have also called this one “Things I learned today at a wedding and the reception”, or “Advice I wish I had before making a fool of myself.”

Saturday morning my wife and I went to have our church directory pictures made. It was the first time that we have had our pictures taken professionally in our two years of marriage or five years together.

Five years ago today, Samantha and I embarked on our journey together. Somewhere along the way, we decided to add “until death do us part” to the mix, but our friends say we were an old married couple long before we our civil ceremony two years ago. So when the word “Anniversary” appears on my [...]

If you’ve been following me for a while, you might have noticed that I have posted a lot more lately. I am trying to find something worthwhile to write about each day. It has been a great exercise in keeping perspective and I plan to continue to do so as long as possible.
Last night, I [...]

Fall has finally arrived. A lot of southerners lovingly call this “football weather”, because it is just cold enough to require long sleeves but not the kind of icy feel of December. The afternoons tend to climb in the low to mid-80s, so versatile wardrobe selections have to be added to the daily routine. My [...]

We took a leisurely walk around Moss-Wright Park this afternoon for the first time in the over a year we have lived a short drive from it. It is one the nicer municipal parks in the area.
As a side note, I am still taking suggestions for the third installment of Friday Off. I have to [...]
