In yesterday’s post I gave you a link for an awesome short video called "How Do You Live Your Dash." It’s an awesome poem that the creative director put to music and scenery. The poem is about the dash between the years on your tombstone and how it’s not important what year you were born [...]
This is a great short video that was emailed to me last week. It really is phenomenal. I hope you enjoy it! I’ll share some personal experiences I have with this in my next post. But for now I just want you to watch it and really take it in. God Bless!

They are also both industries that are experiencing some great influxes of technology. While I’m not a technological geek, I do find new technological advances fascinating.

A few nights ago I was struggling. It was one of those days where I felt like I had had enough. Being a single father can weigh on you. It seemed as if everyone needed something from me and I couldn’t deliver. I was dangling at the end of my rope over a pond full [...]
