Good morning, America!
I’ve been blogging and vlogging lately. Vlogging is new to me. It’s something my teammate Avery introduced me to and I’m having a blast with it.
It gives me a chance to let my hair down, be a little goofy, and have some fun. I’m especially happy when these little snippets make people laugh or bring them a bit of joy.
I’m trying to keep it real while still pointing people to Jesus. Yes, Christians can have fun. We can laugh. We can be funny, too.
Ultimately, I want to give you something you’ll want to have: Jesus.
And I think people have to see something of Jesus in you before they’ll want what you have.
Until my next post…
Be salty, stay lit.

Eating barbeque as part of a skincare regimen? I’ll bet you’re the only one on the internet recommending that! Thanks for improving our skin by making us smile D. G!

In 2021, my first wife passed away after suffering three open-heart surgeries and three cancer encounters in a 20-year stretch. So we broke, covid hit, I lost my job and my wife was dying. This year I had carotid artery surgery that paralyzed my vocal cord for 3 months and a heart valve replacement via artery at groin. How did I deal with it? I understand this scripture better now. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
