It's About Time

My sweet baby Hailey turned 2 a little over a month ago.  Up until now she has not been a focus of this blog whatsoever.  The reason being, when the idea for this blog was hatched in my mind we didn't have Hailey in our lives yet, only the two boys.  The original idea for this blog was to pass on fatherly advise, words of wisdom, how to be a gentleman, and basic life skills that I wanted my boys to know in the event that something tragically ever happened to me and I wasn't around to pass this stuff on.  I don't know why it never occurred to me to include Hailey in this blog, perhaps it's because I haven't regularly posted here since she was born with the added demands of the hours in my day.  But I see no reason why I can't start to focus on her in these posts as well.  So from here on out not only will this blog be directed, with the content listed above, towards my two sons but my daughter as well.  There are numerous things I can teach her about men, life, how to be a better wife, sports, etc.

Sorry boys...you'll just have to endure from now on reading posts about what to keep and not to keep in your purse (that is if I can figure it out myself....seriously that thing is a bottomless pit.)  Lord help me find the right words to guide my little girl.

Faith is...Committing loved ones' problems to God to solve.

excerpt from: Faith is...

Busy...Busy...Busy

I've been so busy...moving jobs, moving houses, moving cities, new trucks, changing jobs again...and on, and on, and on.

It's no excuse but this is why I've not been able to post here in over a year.  I'm going to make a conscious effort to do a better job, to set aside time for this blog because of how important it is to me to pass this information on.  I apologize for letting life get in the way and I'm preparing to get this back on track.
