I’m learning more and more each day about poverty. What poverty is and how it affects people. There are also so many people that are in-slaved by their debt, much like this man you see in this title image. This man in Indian and is a literal slave to his debtor and must work in the quarry crushing rocks with one small sledge hammer to repay his debt.

Well, here I lie in my own bed on bed rest for the past four days, per the Doctor’s orders.  This time last week I checked myself into the Emergency Room not knowing what was going on with me. All last week my joints ached, had a fever and was barely standing and I just couldn’t shake it. Then came on the severe head, neck and back pain. This was the straw that broke the camels back. I just had…

Well 35 years ago today I was born in a hospital in the town of Lawton, OK. Born to two young musicians just trying to make it! My Mom was 19 and my Dad was 22 when I was born. Ironically I was 22 years old when I got married and I couldn’t imagine having my crazy boys at that age. God bless em! I’m humbled by all of the wonderful messages on facebook, twitter, email and text today. Believe…

Twelve years ago yesterday (July 17th) in a little church in San Antonio, TX, I married the love of my life. The little college girl that bought me, yes, bought me for $110 at my fraternity date auction at the frat house in August of 1997. Oh, and also, if you didn’t notice, we shared the same last name even before we were to wed. And no, we aren’t related. Our healthy kiddos have proven that (smiley face). We’ve had…
