Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s out there.  I pray that as dad’s you have the courage to always do the right thing, even when no one else is looking.  I pray that you love your wife and your children as Christ loves his people.  I pray that you are always a positive example to all those around you, especially your kids.

Have a great day!

I’m still here

Well, I’m still around.  I’ve had kind of a rough few weeks lately.  The day after Mother’s Day I was at my son’s baseball game and my back suddenly started hurting really bad.  In a matter of moments I was on the ground with extreme back pain, which was going down my left leg causing my lower leg and foot to tingle.  It turns out I have a herniated disc which is pinching my nerve and causing the tingling and numbness in my leg.  It’s feeling better now but the tingling is still there. 

My doctor told me I needed surgery, and offered no alternatives and quite frankly gave me very little information.  I feel like all I was to him was a billable appointment.  I think I’m too young to have surgery unless I have to, so I went to a chiropractor and they feel they can help me.  I’ve talked to a LOT of people who go to a chiropractor and I haven’t heard anyone say that it didn’t help them.

Hopefully I’ll continue to get better.  It’s no fun being so limited in what you can do.  My wife has done a lot of extra work (mowing the lawn, taking the laundry downstairs, etc) and she needs a break.
