100!
When I started writing this blog back in January of 2019, I wasn’t sure where it would lead. At first my goal was to focus on issues related to my disability. However, my life really isn’t defined by having spina bifida. Therefore, this blog has expanded to be a place where I can share myContinue reading “100!”
Men of Integrity
I was fortunate to have grown up surrounded by men of integrity. My own father was a man who was honest and treated others with respect. He had faults, but I believe he acted with integrity in his dealings with other people. In addition, my father was someone who tried to make things right whenContinue reading “Men of Integrity”
Mercy
I’ve been writing this blog for over a year. When I first began I had a single vision in mind. I wanted to share with you my experiences of living life as a disabled person. Likewise, I wanted to share the positives that I see. Finally, I wanted to make it a place where IContinue reading “Mercy”
Paint Your Pets and Other Love Stories
Yesterday I met the love of my life. Well, it only seems like yesterday. However, it was actually 10 years ago yesterday. Amanda and I met for the first time on February 13, 2010. She was, and still is, a St. Louis girl. We were introduced through my cousin Brad, who was Amanda’s pastor atContinue reading “Paint Your Pets and Other Love Stories”

Baby Boy is a month old today. He is growing and becoming more aware of his surroundings every day. He is still ours and it is fun to see him grow out of clothes that fit him just a few weeks ago. Clothes he was once “swimming in” fit him just perfectly now. He isContinue reading “Hopes”
Baby Boy
It is just past 2:00 a.m. as I write this. My thoughts cannot help but turn to how infuriating life can be at times. It is simply unfair. I just got done feeding Baby Boy. That is what I will call our foster child, as I will never divulge his name on this blog. IContinue reading “Baby Boy”
The Perfect Gift
It will be a week ago tomorrow that the call came. It was a call that would change our lives forever. We were in St. Louis visiting Amanda’s family for Christmas. It was so unexpected, however, it was something we have been waiting to hear for months. The social worker on the line told usContinue reading “The Perfect Gift”
Dimming of the Day
Amanda and I have been married for seven years. We are also coming up on the seventh year of living in the house we bought shortly after getting married. It is a house that has always been cozy and has always felt like home. I am unable to do much of the maintenance around theContinue reading “Dimming of the Day”
Patience – Part 2
Eventually the rest of the group caught up to where I was on the river and we continued on our way. At times the river’s current began to pick up, which made it a little more difficult to avoid obstacles that were in the water. However, I did fairly well dodging these logs, rocks, andContinue reading “Patience – Part 2”
