Unthinkable
Today an unthinkable tragedy happened in Connecticut. Twenty or so small children killed at the hands of a madman. For myself and most of the population this is an unthinkable act. I struggle to comprehend how any human could make such a terrible choice. To waste God's precious gift of life, to kill these innocent children is incomprehensible. I'm afraid of the world we live in here on earth anymore. I'm afraid for my family, afraid for my own children. I pray we are facing the end of this era of senseless violence but realistically i fear that it may be just the beginning. My heart goes out to all the families associated with this tragedy. I pray for them with all my heart. I may not be the greatest Christian walking the earth but on days like today I am especially thankful for my faith in God. I'm thankful that those innocent children are walking in paradise with Jesus and praying for their surviving family members to find comfort in any way they can. I can't imagine how I would respond if one of my children were ever involved in a situation like this and pray that I never find out. I feel that being a father is the greatest responsibility of my life and when events like today take place I feel an even bigger responsibility to my family. I am the best father I can be for my family today and I will try even harder tomorrow. One of the things that my wife and children know for a fact is that daddy loves each one of them with all my heart. I will never stop loving them. That's how I'll raise my kids forever, with all the love I can give them.

Small milestone
I bought Grady his first baseball mitt today and played catch with him all night. Sounds like fun, and it was. He's already had one more mitt and one more night of playing catch with his dad than I ever had with mine. I have so much fun with my boys and hearing them say I love you is more reward than I could ever ask for. Makes me wonder how some people are total losers at parenting.
