Summer was just around the corner, a couple more weeks of school and then I could begin what would arguably be the best summer of life. Of course, I had no idea what would transpire over the next three months, but looking back, I would not trade a single moment of it! A lot of … Continue reading Summer of 82′ – Beginning

Summer of 82′
I both hate and love these types of moments. Here we are bottom of the 7th, two outs and runners on second and third. Maybe they'll walk me? If I was them, I wouldn't walk me but rather go right at me; fastball inside followed by a slider down and away. Then back with the … Continue reading Summer of 82′
My Best Friend
Tuesday, July 4th, 2017 is the day I lost my oldest and dearest friend. Edwin A. Dorsey, my father passed away and my world has been a little darker ever since.

Life Lesson Series – Music and Dancing
This may be the most personal post I have in this series of Life Lessons and I probably won't do justice to how important these two things have been to our family over the years. I'm sure most of my kids will weigh in on this post and I really hope they do. The little … Continue reading Life Lesson Series – Music and Dancing
Life Lesson Series – Listening

Living and Leaving a Legacy
I recently had the honor of speaking at a funeral to celebrate the life of one of the greatest men I have ever known. Below is a copy of my preparation draft leading up to that day. I decided to post it as a blog post because, outside of my father, no other person apart … Continue reading Living and Leaving a Legacy
A Study of Joseph – The Dreamer
When you were a kid, what dreams did you have? For me, I had 3 dreams that I wanted to see come true. One was to be a Navy pilot but due to medical reasons, that was short lived. The second one was to dance on broadway. Yes, I typed Broadway. I always loved watching … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – The Dreamer
A Study of Joseph – History Repeated
Joseph becomes the main character of Genesis beginning in Chapter 37:2 - This is the account of Jacob’s family line.

At this … Continue reading A Study of Joseph – History Repeated
It’s Christmas Time!!
I love this time of year because it always takes me back to when I was a kid. Growing up in Marietta, Georgia was so much fun, especially around Christmas. Marietta was not the biggest town on the map but it played big every Christmas or that's at least how I remember it! Outside of … Continue reading It’s Christmas Time!!
