A Proud Dad

I am so proud of my son Josh and his efforts in playing football for the Saints in the Optimist football league here in Conway.

The Saints finished in first place in their conference and have received a first round bye. They will play a playoff game on Thursday and then should they win the Super Bowl on Tuesday.

GO SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Horrible Incident at a Local College Campus

Late Sunday night there was a shooting on the Campus of UCA, the University of Central Arkansas. The cause of the shooting is still unknown, but there were 2 men killed and a third treated and released at a local hospital.
Stories about the incident are located on the following news web sites.

• The Log Cabin Democrat
• UCA Web Site
• KTHV Television in Little Rock
• KARK Television in Little Rock
• KATV Television in Little Rock

This has been a terrible thing for the City of Conway as well as UCA Students.

I would ask you to keep the families of these victims as well as the students of UCA in your thoughts and prayers.

Life

Life is a challenge, to say the least. It does not comes easy to some and not as easy to others. They say that through the trials in our lives we become stronger. Also, as we go through these trials in life and succeed we become more and more resilient.
I would have to say that my life has been such a challenge. Some days I want to give up and other days I press forward. That pressing forward is the resilient part in me. I am proud to say that I have not chosen drugs or alcohol as a means of escape from these trials.
My inspiration for pressing forward through these trials the fact that I know I have three children that depend on their Dad to be there for them. That is what keeps me moving forward.
