Comments:

Even though i graduated from the University of Houston, I am a Texas Aggie fan.

Not serving in the military seems to be a void in my life. My lottery number was 366 (June 8) which was the very last birthday chosen.
Any words of wisdom?

Life is short. Worship and serve God with every opportunity.

Is there a moment in your life that stands out? A moment that defines who you are? Other than kids being born or your wedding day.

When I retired and began doing Prison Ministry in 2008 changed my life in a unique way that I cannot explain. Many of these men became my extended family.
