My 12 year old asked me if I was upset about the election results.
I responded, I鈥檓 disappointed, but also told her, that sometimes in life, you don鈥檛 win. And you have to be ok with that.
You don鈥檛 quit or complain, you work harder and stay true to your convictions.
At the end of the day, my family is healthy, I have jobs lined up and I put a couple hundred miles in on baby girl between job sites today.
God is good.

What an amazing day.
I鈥檝e lived in Southern California my entire life. Been whale watching a few times. We had some free time this afternoon,so I booked a trip for the family. My 12 year old had loved Orcas since she was a baby.
We got to spend 2 hours with 30 or so Orcas. I was torn between watching these amazing creatures and watching the pure wonder and joy on my girls face as she came face to face with her dreams.
God is good.

Bend, Oregon man who shot and killed a shooter at his daughters' school speaks out, praises female teacher for fighting the shooter, allowing him to have a clear shot.
Kaylub Giamanco says he is haunted by the sound of children pleading for their lives.
He also praised the teacher for grabbing the gunman's weapon, allowing him to take a shot at the shooter.
"I want to recognize [the teacher]. She gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life..."
"I swung the door open, and I stepped in, and I fired, and they dropped to the ground... I looked down at the gunman, and he was scrambling for his weapon. And I looked at him, and I shot him 2 more times..."

Plan was to be on the road to Carlsbad by 2:30.

And I know she still forgot something.
Long but productive day. Left home and 6 and got home at 11:00.
Invoices sent.
Wife and kids are asleep and I鈥檓 fed and showered.
God has blessed me more than I should deserve.
I鈥檝e heard said that Grace is undeserved forgiveness.
That鈥檚 what I鈥檝e been given.

Said goodbye to my brother Jeff today.
Kuwait and Iraq vet.
Husband, father, grandfather,friend and Brother.
Thousands of miles in with that man.
Rest easy, I鈥檒l see you on the highway.
Just dropped my 12 year old off at school. I鈥檓 sitting in my house,the wife and toddler are sleeping still, so it鈥檚 quiet.
I remind myself that this here is what I prayed for.
When I got out of prison 19 years ago,then got and stayed sober almost 17 years ago this is what I always wanted.
A home, a family, peace, love, and God has blessed me with all of that and so much more.
Life gets so busy sometimes, I sometimes forget to stop and look around.
And remember to be grateful.
Oh and VOTE RED. 馃嚭馃嚫
