The Problem with Tim Tebow
Let me start by saying that I am absolutely on the Tim Tebow bandwagon. I’ve been following this guy since college, and while I did agree to some extent with the many analysts who doubted his ability to be a top-flight quarterback in the NFL, I’ve always wanted to see him succeed. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that it is extremely difficult not to root for this guy. He...

The Marriage of Want and Need

Maybe it’s because I’m at that age now where I have the privilege of watching so many of my friends get married and start families of their own that I’m learning to appreciate my family that much more. I had the opportunity to go home for the holidays this year, and, because these opportunities are becoming increasingly rare for me, I made sure to savor every moment of my trip....
hello tumblr world!
hey all,
In light of the new year, I thought it’d be a good idea to start a blog to stay connected with my friends and listeners on a more personal level than just the occasional facebook/twitter update. To be honest, I’m not the best when it comes to putting my thoughts in writing…I often find myself revising, rewording, and deleting to the point where nothing I’ve...
