I’ve got a confession to make right up front. I’m struggling on this journey through this thing we call life.  I’ve never felt completely at home anywhere…any home that I’ve been in, any office I’ve met in or any church I’ve worshipped in.  I kind of feel like I don’t belong.  Like I’m a foreigner from another country, a citizen of another land.  Why?  Well, maybe it’s because I am. I’m not meant to be here forever.  I’m just here for a relatively very short time. I’ll be going to my eternal home soon.  Is that today?  Maybe. Is it next year? Perhaps. 30 or 40 years from now? The probabilities increase.  But like you, I want whatever time I have on this earth to matter.  I want it to matter for God, for my wife of 21 years, Susan, and for my five children—Megan, 20, Emily 18, Hannah, 18, Mark, Jr. 15 and Grant, 14. I want whatever influence I have to last for generations, and hopefully forever.

Let me share something personal with you…Truth is of utmost importance to me…has been ever since I can remember. I have a great passion to seek Truth and speak Truth into people’s lives.  You might say I’m a Truth warrior!  There are too many lies in this world that are hurting a lot of people.  So in this blog, I will focus on Truth about leadership, about relationships, about parenting and about marriage. And just so you’ll know, there is only one Source of Truth, and it’s not you or I!

Having said that, you need to know that I’ve failed and made plenty of mistakes as a husband, father, son and friend.  But I’m always willing to learn.  And I hope to learn from you as well.  So will you go, and grow, on this journey with me?  I think it’s going a really amazing adventure.  I’m really excited about it.
