On the Personal Side
I have a beautiful little girl, Riley, who was born December 8th. I love the Carolina Tarheels (my alma mater), watching basketball and reading novels. But my favorite way to pass the time, besides spending it with my family, is swimming. I adore a good cry, rainy days, a steaming cup of hot cider, a juicy cheeseburger, seasoned french fries and scented candles.
 

Final Thoughts
“But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
