2010 Get Back on the Ice at Home vs. Rochester
After a spirited win against the Cyclones in one of the more intense scrimmages I have seen, the Flames had to play a tough Rochester team early the following morning.
I am just a man. I am a father, a son, and a husband. I am a homemaker, caretaker, coach, writer, speaker, and photographer. I love God. I love my family. I love my country. God has blessed my family and I, and I am eternally grateful. Author of Generation Jumping: Losing those who are not lost. Downtime with my family is about as good as it gets for me. Being outdoors in nature, among the animals and the wilderness, the Created, comes pretty close. Baseball, followed by hockey, are my two favorite sports, with several others a close third. I would rather do it right the first time. Honesty, respect, and integrity are virtues that I hold dear, so I call it like I see it. Before we as a society attempt to re-define these words, I will be here telling the raw truth.

Once upon a time, there was a year when facts and fears were so hard to separate,
And a health hazard gained so much attention, boys and girls couldn’t even ice skate.
In a day and age where the act of serving seems to be wound tightly around some agenda, hope of reward, or personal recognition, I share this morning’s devotional (from Dec. 15).

With interstate hockey shut down due to health concerns, the New Hampshire teams have been solely playing each other for the last several weeks. Then, to help fill a potential gap in schedules for virtually every youth hockey team in NH, the 2020 Turkey Shootout tournament came along.
As I sat in the woods this morning, talking silently with my Creator, under a peaceful, gentle, soaking rain, I was filled with Thanksgiving.
On a drive, just passing through some of New Hampshire’s north country, above the notch, I had a chance to take a few quick pictures. It was a gorgeous, late fall afternoon and the mountains were calling. Enjoy.
