Being an adult in their 40’s with kids in the house still and 3 part time jobs makes it very hard to make connections with similar people. I have not been good about making connections with people since shortly after college so there isn’t really anything new here, but at the same time, this sucks…

My father has been building cameras for a long time. His cameras a great and they have changed and evolved over the years. I worked for him for a while as well building a lot of the cameras that are out there in the world. The cameras have come in two forms: traditional wood and…
Marriage and Civil Unions
Time for another ramble about something that is a hot button topic for many – marriage and civil unions. As most of you know I am Christ-Follower.
