Sorry for the lack of posts today, I’ve been real busy taking care of SisterGeeding (who is recovering well) and work is piling up.
However, I’ve been a bit melancholy as of late. Next week will mark the one year anniversary of my mother’s death, which got me to thinking . . .
In less than 10 years this 32 year old has lost a mother, father, grandmother, a mentor (college pastor), and his best friend.

I would like to encourage all those that read this silly little blog to use the time you would normally take to read my posts and email/call/write someone you’ve been meaning to contact but just never got around to doing it. Trust me, you’ll reap in the dividends.
