As we proceed....

As we proceed, let me begin by stating my true desire to express my personal opinions and statements about life and politcs, thereof, constitute the very freedoms we pursue on a daily basis - the freedom to express ourselves.

I still have lots to say about many things... nonetheless, I'm establishing this forum to keep my followers uptodate on my personal journey, my political journey, and just - life! .

Losing our baby, David Alexander, was a hard (and still is) pill to swallow. And though it's late Thurday evening, there's not a moment that I don't think about how life would be with David in my arms now.
I can't recall ever hoping to hold my baby and put him to bed, but I did - and to some degree I still am - just not David.  I know lots of family and friends come around encouraging us to be hopeful and go for the 2nd baby asap. And though we want to and will, those words are harder to understand. Even asking ourselves, do we even want a 2nd baby? Not because of fear, but I suppose out of selfishness... All of a sudden, life stopped dead in its track. No more campaigning, no more MBA, no more pregnancy, no more baby. After a year and half of kicking butt in life... we are empty-handed. So, the famous question: what now? Geezzz, I wish I knew. I wish there was an "easy" button and 'bam' it was done. But life's curveballs are meant to sway us to look harder, look intensly alert, and make sure that with the curveball we were thrown, we could still turn it into a homerun. But you know the easiest part of this game, is that God takes care of all the hits, all I have to do is run ...
Well, here's to running.Running forward, not backwards. Running towards... i don't know, but when I find it, i'll let you know. I bet it's one of those things that will make us all say "ahh, that's what God was doing!".
So i dedicate myself to this blog, this journal of my journey in life with my God, my wife, and my personal triumphs, trials, wins, and losses. Frankly, to show you that you are not alone. God is still a good God. And though we may not understand it all, some things are for certain - God is love. Goodnight family.#graceandpeace
