oh, where to start...

i sorta have the desire to go back to a month ago and share everything that's been going on... of course, it won't be as good as if i had written then, but there has been stuff going on. thanks to my friends that have been "encouraging" me to blog either by posting nasty comments on mine or writing cryptic notes on theres.

first, a few pics:


this is me and tyler-a guy a met that day at cycle clinic-and my new 1979 Honda CX500. Tyler was all excited to find someone with a bike like his and had them snap our picture.


went with a friend a few days ago to western iowa on a backpacking trip. the Spirit led us to a museum. you can see me "fishin' for men" after an afternoon (3.5 minutes) at the gift shop. i couldn't post all the pictures 'cause i don't want to "out" recovering.






here's the beautiful western iowa. parts of this trip actually reminded me of Tennessee... yes, it was that beautiful. actually, i really needed a wide-angle lens (these were taken with an itsy-bitsy camera) to really capture what God had created here. you should really click on them for more detail! not only was it good just to get out of town for a while, but my traveling companion was quite fun, too. thanks to my wife for allowing me to break... but i totally missed her and my kids.

i have a bunch of other pictures that i wanted to put on here of my girls, but they're on my work computer. i'll try to remember to get them up here soon.




lots o' family drama... but not gonna talk about them... pray for them, if you know 'em, or if you don't, that's fine, too...

i've been working alot ... fourthstream.com will have some pretty interesting things happening soon... it's about time, ain't it?

God's been doing a lot in and around me. can't necessarily put it all into words, but it's all good. not all easy though. i've been learning to see God in everything Good or True. people who don't really know Him, reveal Him to me in many ways... and i pray that He will use me to reveal who He really is to them. my home continues to be a place of chaos and peace and sometimes both at the same time. emma is smarter than me, katherine might be, too... but she can't talk very well, so that makes me feel better. nora is the cutest little one ever, although a total mama's girl which can be both a blessing and a curse. i am going to stop sharing now since my wife is already in bed... a bummer that she's most likely already asleep...
