Frederick Buechner once wrote, “The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you." I started this blog to share random thoughts about my quest to become a better father, husband, and Christian, and to discuss what I learn in my everyday life and where my place at the party might be. I look forward to comments and stories from you about your own journeys.

A Special Day
Twenty-five years ago tonight, I went on my very first date. It was a special night indeed, and I still treasure the memory of every moment from that evening.
It seems hard to believe that it was already so very long ago...
You're right; it is just the beginning of what could be developed into a story. I may do that at some point - in fact, I've been spending some time lately writing semi-autobiographical essays on different topics, mostly as a way of confronting the emotions that have welled up lately as I think back on certain parts of my life. One of them, in fact, has been submitted for review and possible publication - should find out on that one in the next few weeks.
Stay tuned; I may very well post something more on this. I will say that by and large, this period of my life really brings a smile to my face and a very warm feeling.

You can't leave us hanging like that - do tell more. This sounds just like the beginning of a story.

did it develop into something very special? i bet my head on that. it's still fresh, 25 is just a number, but the emotion felt is still vivid..
