So, we entered a new phase in life last week. Isaac started rolling over last week. He was starting to make us nervous not showing much interest in it all then someone flipped a switch and he’s everywhere now. Literally over night he figured out all directions: left & right, front to back, back to […]
Read MoreSo, you know those days when you’re super-psyched about what you have planned. Work, school, family time, whatever… Then it kind of goes south… Sucks doesn’t it. + This morning @xptonline we had one of those moments… er … hours.

Read MoreA friend recently sent me this article. In it speaker, author, writer, youth pastor Walt Mueller speaks of hearing Dr. Phil live in Philly speak on how our culture has created a narcissistic youth culture.
