I’m back!

I got in late last night. Had a great trip to Upper Michigan, near the Canadian border. I actually went into Canada for dinner Monday night. The most amazing thing about that part of the country? The length of the days. Sunset at 9:30 pm was pretty amazing.

An article written by my father as it appeared in the Tri-State Defender on the date shown. "FACING UP TO LIFE" - Part I "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God" Do you ever face up to life?

There was actually one person that I met - Tucker - whose last name I … Continue reading Blog Summit Day 2 →

More posts later

As is normally the case, I've been under meeting the 15th of the month tax filing deadline, so posting has been light the last couple of days. I'll be back on track soon, hopefully later today. I've got some thoughts about the primary that I need to post. And with the Sorensen bloggers' conference starting … Continue reading More posts later →
