Love. Enough to say “no”. November 13th, 2012 12:45am

You know, every time I’m away from my baby I can’t wait to get back to her.  It’s early in the process, but I’m getting a good feeling that we’re starting to become one in purpose.  I will admit, I need to be more dedicated to this new-found relationship… but over time, it’s going to be so good.  I’m still working out the rough edges, but there is just SO MUCH FREAKIN’ PROMISE it’s scary!

Yup.  I love having my own website.

Okay, enough with the jokes.  Ima ’bout to get all serious on you, dawg.

This forum allows me to rant and rave, to be silly, to be brutally honest, to be brutally uncreative… and it also allows me to share with you, my three “followers”.

As you can already glean from my posts, I’m a devoted Catholic.  It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me.  But following the faith has not come without some personal cost.  And I’m not talking about losing a job.  I’m talking about losing the love of a wife.

I have a few different speeches I use at various speaking engagements.  In one, I talk about how the word “no” can be a statement of profound love.

I had to say “no” to Drea many years ago.  And it tore me up inside.

I hope you enjoy reading this, as much as I enjoyed writing it back in 2008.
