TommyLog – Coming in Last

I attended Tommy’s cross country track meet last Thursday. Something was just not right. He was in dead last place for the entire race. He wasn’t feeling well, but yet he completed the race. What an inspiration to me and all the kids on his team. Giving it to the end regardless of how he felt. Sure he came in last place, but he finished 1st place in my book.

GREAT JOB Tommy!!

Visit to The FVTC Culinary School

Today I got a chance to visit Madeline and tour the Fox Valley technical College’s School of Culinary Arts. its just so humbling to see her in her elements. So excited and proud to show off her new stomping ground. She beamed from ear to ear as she showcased their culinary theater, bakery kitchens and freezers.

I got teary eyed as I walked the halls being led from room to room filled with Madeline’s excitement and love for the culinary arts.

Amazing to watch your little girl grow up – WOW

I’ve Been Lied To!

I have been lied to. I don’t take this lightly. I give out my trust easy but once it’s broken, IT’S OVER!!! Anyone remember the scene in Heat where Robert DeNiro is talking to a guy who lied to him and he told him he was “talking to an empty telephone.”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOtaiiFJ1Wc

That’s how I feel now. I’ve been deceived, I’ve been hurt all because, I have been lied to.

I thought they were my friends, I thought they were looking out for my family…

lies

lies

lies!

Please just leave my life as fast as possible.

And I Drove Right Over…

I’m not immune to making mistakes PLEASE! This week In an email exchange, I inadvertently offended a member of our congregation. There are plenty of ways I could have addressed the issue, but do you know what I did? I got in my car and drive over to her house and apologized.
