About

Home

Welcome to my site! This is my digital outlet where I might hash out my ideas or thoughts as I attempt to strengthen my website development skills. Have a look around and if you like what you see, share it! If you're not sure where to start, try Post Zero. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

This started my journey down the rabbit hole of technology geekery. I discovered the world wide web and spent (way too many) hours reading mostly on the Official Star Wars…

The Blessing of Saturday Family Time

| Fatherhood, Personal

We’ve been blessed with a few Saturdays in a row that we focused around family time.
