Back from Malibu

I finally have become 'that' guy. The guy that admits he is broken but wants to be fixed by Jesus. The guy who can be cynical to my best friend, my fellow YL staffers, and my bride and not know it...the guy who when someone asks 'Howzit going?' will say all the things that are going 'wrong' with life rather than what is great about life?

What changed me? I'm not sure anything has changed, but I'm willing and ready to admit that I'm broken and I need to work on a few things in life. I just happen to be lucky enough to have people around me who love me enough to tell me the truth...here are the 'Top 5' people that 'happened to make me want to keep working on my brokeness (Jesus is the 'Given').

1. Staci - She has the guts to continue to challenge me to be better and to reveal the kind hearted person that she knows lurks when I am cynical. She is the rhythm to our music and I like to dance with her.

2. Ky - He makes me laugh at myself and think about others first. He can be serious, funny, smart, and challenging. I feel better when I'm around him...eventually

3. Todd - The most encouraging guy I know...thanks for making me feel like I can walk through a brick wall.

4. Bob - The Man just knows how to 'Do' things and can tell a whopper of a story ~ his family really knows the lost art of Hospitality (its a spiritual gift).

5. Pat & Robbie (Tie) - Pat made me a better dad and husband. Robbie just makes me better...

It's 90 degree's next to the water and I am too sweaty to continue...I'll write more later.
