If you have been a consistent reader of my blog, you know that I do not take myself too seriously. I always enjoy laughing at myself when I get the chance. Well, while I was in China I really grew out some really good “man-fur” with my full beard. When I got back to Texas [...]

Today is a bittersweet day at Leadership Camp. Things are starting to wrap up as today is the last official full day of camp. As I currently am sitting in the lobby of a five-star hotel across the street from campus stealing their wi-fi, I am getting ready for parents day here at camp. The [...]
