The Tour Begins

I still have no idea what I want to write about in this blog, but I guess I'll start with the basics. My family and I live in Fort Worth, Texas, where I used to study English as a doctoral student. I would have continued my studies here, but my wife and I realized that my continued involvement with the university was spiritually destructive to our family. I work for a company called SMARTHINKING.COM, which has been very good to me and to my family, and I am a full-time husband and father.

My little boy Isaiah is very special to me. He has a sweet soul and a calm, gentle spirit. He also likes to talk with people, and he is a very physical little guy. At one year old (plus), he is a little skinny for his age, but he can crawl, sit, pivot (even while sitting), and even stand (with support). He hasn't learned to talk yet, but I imagine that he soon will, given his interest in people.

Jessica is my soul mate. She and I were born for each other.

Anyway, that's a little slice of what my family is like. I think I'll keep writing about them for right now, and we'll see where this blog goes. For now, it seems like it's going in a better direction than any of my previous ones did!

Welcome to My New Home

I've had blogs on here off and on for about 4 years. My first foray into blogging was a disaster and alienated several of my friends from college (as it should have--the content was really bizarre). My second foray into blogging was an ill-conceived attempt to "revise" my first blog, which was, at best, insincere. Finally, I thought I'd put up a couple of new blogs from the "Christian" point of view, deleting the older blogs I had already posted--those were preachy and insincere.

Now, I'm just going to put up a blog . . . starring me. No gimmicks, no cool, groovy hooks like recipes or sermons or videos. Just writing about what's going on in my life. I'm not arrogant enough to think that anyone (including you) would be excited about my life or that my life should be exciting, but maybe someone out there will find something I say signficant or inspirational to them.
