Epic Moments

Proposing to my wife in the middle of a bamboo forest, the birth of our three 10lb+ babies (the Doctor said, “I came to deliver a baby and got a toddler”), landing in Lima, Peru with our boys ages 4, 2 and 5 months at 1AM not knowing the language or where we were going to sleep, when we left the church we planted in Nashville, the Senior Pastor said, “well done good and faithful servants” and the whole congregation gave us a standing ovation, my first iPhone (changed my life!).

When I grow up, I want to be...

I used to want to be a rock star, now I want to be a Christ-like husband and father.
