What I Believe

I believe in the human heart.

I believe all people are born with an inherent goodness.

I believe that we are born equal, but then externally situations shape us into a varied population.

I believe you should hang up your damn cell phone while dropping you precious child off at daycar so you can talk [...]

Post tornado pics

I didn’t really have a plan. I just knew I wanted to help.

I had taken the family to a hotel in Chattanooga to escape the blackout. I felt it was the right thing to do, but I also felt I should have stayed to help.

Now we were back. I was determined [...]

Halloween ‘08

I was looking forward to doing some awesome Zombie makeup and costume for Jack this year, but he waited until the thirtieth to decide what he wanted to be…a $13.00 “scream” villain from K-mart.

I’ve talked about it before, animals are not a [...]

September 11…

I remember it being a beautiful day. I remember driving my then wife’s jetta into town from the house we were renting while our house was built. She needed new lug nuts on the tires, the ones that didn’t require a special wrench. I remember the morning show “Rick and Bubba” saying “something” was happening [...]

It takes a villiage…

I visited a good friend of mine in Atlanta a few weeks ago. She is in an alternative lifestyle relationship. They gave birth to a beautiful girl about 15 months ago. The little girl is amazing. Very articulate. Very well mannered. And she loves to flirt. I don’t want to use names, just in case [...]
