Planning has begun!

I've started my planning board in my office at work!


For the last two years, this board has been covered in notes left by friends who came by to visit. However, it was time for a more practical purpose. However, I left some notes from my wife and my sister for inspiration... I know I'll need it!

The importance of their support, especially my wife's, is incredibly important. Laura has encouraged all the positive things God has given me to do, and helped me steer away from the rest. I am so blessed to know her and be married to her!



More work to do this week. The goal is to have a proposal ready to send to 12 publishers by September 1st!

New Book!

I neglected this blog for almost a year.

However, it's time to restart.

I'm using this opportunity to announce a book I'm writing! About every two weeks or so, I will be giving excerpts from my research, thoughts, and views on the topic of this book.

For today, this is just an announcement. I have several friends who have helped me formulate ideas, and many who will be on a team that will help me make sense of what I'm saying, as well as wrap my head around some difficult concepts.

So what will it be about? In a simple word... trust.

Trust... because the most important lessons I've learned in the last three years have to do with it.

Trust... because that's what I know to write about.

But, it won't be exactly the same. My discussion will focus on our misplaced trust... in the world, in the government, and even in ourselves.

My goal is not to take sides on difficult issues... although I will formulate clearer views from this study. My goal, instead, will be to unite people despite our differing views.

So, follow this blog if you would like to follow my journey!
