this blog:

a few months back i’m having coffee with a pal and he tells me he’s been keeping an online journal that someday he hopes to pass along to his kids.  he keeps it under wraps (nobody can see it, read it, mock it, question it), but either way, it’s there.  it’s a thought that has been orbiting in my head since…

occasionally, i post on twitter and facebook some questions and thoughts that are circling in my mind…things that stir fear, doubt, insecurity as well as hope, love and kindness.  sometimes this causes some good discussion and feedback but one person asked why i don’t ever answer the questions.

the intersection of these 2 thoughts is what you are looking at – my blog.  an online journal to write to my kids and go deeper than 140 characters on some thoughts and questions.  all the miscellaneous ramblings of an ordinary man trying to move through life learning how to be a better man, husband, father, friend, follower of Jesus and lover of people.  i realize that this breaks all the rules of blogging (i’m not an expert, i don’t have a particular focus, i may not be consistent, blah, blah, blah) but i’m not trying to influence you.  if in the years ahead my kids can look back and read/see/learn who their father was in his own words – my questions, fears, doubts, loves, weaknesses, strengths – then this blog will be successful.  now, don’t get me wrong.  if along the way you have thoughts, questions, observations and learnings for me – i’m all ears. i love making new connections and i love great conversations but, this isn’t for you…it’s for my kids.  (just so we’re clear)

thanks for stopping by…

peace
