OK, so I may be a littled jaded and frustrated... I openly admit that. But when did we exchange the facts about the Christmas season with the myths and misinformation? Last night I did a survey of our youth... I admit to having trick questions, intended to garner specific responses, but I believe that what we truly believe with be most likely to come out of our mouths first... We all think we know how many wise men were there at the birth of Christ... But they weren't there and we don't know ...

Today I begin a new adventure. One that I believe will challenge me greatly. I will offer my personal thoughts and musings for the world to see. I will attempt to share what my belief in God mean to me in a tangable way. I will be as honest as I can. You will find a man who loves his God, his wife and his children.
