Where to start... I wanted to create a place to put my thoughts together not just for myself but for anyone who cares to know. Hopefully someday I'll look back at this and see something positive come out of it, and if not, at least I can get something out of venting. :) This blogging thing caught fire about 2 years ago...and has only gotten more prominent amongst the most prolific writers and thinkers out there. Anyhow, I thought this would be a good time to check it out and see where it goes. You see, I've been a bit too busy to do anything for myself lately. For good reason too, I've been trying to manage a full time job, help my beautiful wife with a potential business opportunity and raise 4 WONDERFUL kids, and dealing with a financial crisis at home. That's ok, that's the american dream ain't it? I will note here, that I've been listening to Dave Ramsey quite a bit. We have started our TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER. Yes dear, I know, I mentioned Dave again. It's just that his plan is so realistic, and it's made me see so much in terms of what I was doing wrong financially. I was running a sinking ship. Thanks for your help Dave. Thanks for helping me see God's financial principles clearly. Today, I can see the light at the end of a long dark tunnel. It's gonna be tough, but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I've got to do it, for my family's future. Boys, young lady, this is for you.

Love,

Dad
