Although I haven't blogged before in the past, I've always felt compelled, but even more so recently. I was actually drafting my first post yesterday, but I've just heard about some close friend's family members that have passed away, and it kind of led me to change some things.

Kathy and I just got back from spending time with my side of the family in San Antonio. It was a great trip. For nearly the first time on a Holiday, my entire family was in the same place, it was great! And with the recent passing of some friend's family members, it makes me all the more thankful for my family, and Kathy's family. We're all a little rough around the edges, but then again who isn't. And although everyone in the fam may not always agree with each other, I am still so thankful to God for everyone one of them.

Life truly is precious, and our time on this earth is short. We live in a wonderful country, in a very unique times, and I just pray that we/I don't lose sight of what is truly important in life... God, family, friends, and positively impacting other people's lives.

I just want to say I love my family, and thanks for everything. Also, if it is on anyone's heart, please pray for my good friend Cathleen Pittman and her family. She recently lost her father to a terrible accident. More information can be found at the link:
