My very first blog.

I am 41. I went to college when we didn't have computers readily available to us. We still had to use the card catalog in the library to do research for a paper. I can actually remember hand writing a paper. There were people that made money typing papers for students. My first paper done on a computer was my senior year of 1988. It was done on a Commador 64 made by Radio Shack (I think). Most kids won't know what a card catalog is. On the other end of the spectrum, I am not familiar with all this blog business. My six year old daughter can already do a power point presentation on an I-mac. I can't do that. Someone, (thanks Jason), had to help me set up this blog. So look at me now, I am blogging. We (and by we I mean Jason) created this blog in hopes of telling our story here at CFS. Not just the stories of the counseling and adoption agency, but our stories, the stories of the people that work here and dedicate themselves to the mission of CFS. I believe.... we believe in what we do here. We as individuals may not be good or important, but the work of CFS is, and we are grateful to be a part of this. I have wanted to work here full time for a while. Now the dream has come true. This is the vision that I have for my life. This is what I want my children to know about their father - that I loved my wife passionately, I loved them faithfully, and I loved their God. I want them to know me as a counselor, someone who cared about and worked to help families and marriages. My life is full at CFS.

I would have never expected you to join the blogging world! Welcome! So...this blog is like being a screenwriter for The Office, but an office with a a real contribution to the world. I can't wait to hear more. By the way, Brad linked you on his blog; that's how I got here so fast on my "catch up on blogs Saturday afternoon." Blessings,
