A Break

With the death of my brother, changing calls, moving, buying a new house, selling another one (anyone interested?) and trying to help my family maintain some sense of stability during all of this, I think I am taking a blogging break. I’ll catch you guys in November some time.

Requiescat in Pacem

This morning around 10:00 am my brother Matt lost his battle with Cystic Fibrosis. We will be traveling down in the next day or so to be with family and prepare for the funeral. Please pray for the repose of his soul and for those of us who mourn his passing.
