Many years ago...I was born into a bad situation... A situation so bad... That all people involved new that it was not something that a baby should be brought into.
Fortunately, for me, even before I was born or conceived, a couple purposed in their heart to add to their marriage a baby.
Much in the same way that I would later understand how Jesus rescued me from my sins, my Mother & Father rescued me from this untenable situation.
They loved me and gave me an unbelievably privileged life...they raised me right... And were directly responsible for me meeting my future wife.
As I get older, when I look back at my life I can see that outside of the forgiveness of my sins... When Jesus paid my penalty of death, and I became a believer and follower if His... Outside of that. The greatest gift I have ever been given is being adopted into this family by my parents. If that were not enough there is another wonderful woman that God has blessed me with...My Wife and Mother to our kids.
Today, on Mothers Day... I pay tribute to my Mom...& my Wife. The two greatest women I know... I have been lucky enough to be blessed undeservingly and unbelievably by them both.
Today, and everyday I love you mom! I love you Cindy. Happy Mothers Day!!

Rogersville Football
Oh so many years ago I played football for Strafford High School, and although we were not that good... I'm not sure how many games we won in the four years I played...(it would be single digits) and many of our losses were huge defeats. Even after all of that... I look back on my Football days fondly... And occasionally I even wish I could put back on a helmet & shoulder pads.
However, this magical football season that the Rogersville Wildcats are experiencing this year could not be any better. As a parent, you know that you take your greatest pleasure in seeing your children do good. I am so excited and happy for Barrett & his teammates about this run. You could not want more for your son than to be a part of a winning program. And part of a team that has an opportunity to fulfill a dream they have had for a long time.
I remember back when Barrett was a freshman, and we picked up a game against the Waynesville JV team.... The year after they were the state champs. After the game... Their coach came over and asked Coach Smith if he could adress our team. The Waynesville Coach told them that they were the most talented freshman team he had ever seen, including the team he just lead to the state title last year. He said if they applied themselves, worked hard, stayed together...they could do something special.
As the boys prepare for this week, I can't express how thankful I am for the coaches, staff & everyone that has supported this team for the last 4 years!
It's been a great time & I can't be more proud or more happy of my son...And all these boys that are playing their final game in the Dome... For the State Title.
It's been a great run... But we're not quite done.
GoCats!
