This past Sunday, we had a baptism service. I love these times; it's so special to see people commit themselves to starting over.

It reminded me that starting over can be a really good thing. My pastor preached on the necessity of tearing down the old, rotten things to make room for the new, better things that need to be built. I heard that.

I have had a rough year. But I don't need to stay there. I can make it better, and I will, starting now.

By the way, Josh is ONE YEAR OLD in just over two weeks! How awesome is that? He's such a great kid. I am so unbelievably blessed. Anyone who gets to know him is damn lucky, because he's the kind of person you don't easily forget, and who you instantly enjoy.

My ears just started ringing. My mom always said that means someone's talking about you. Hmmm.
