My First Post

Well it's time for me to join the world of blogging. I'm blessed with a wonderful family, great health, a good job and a great life! I hope to share some of the wisdom that comes with more than a half century of life; most of the wisdom from good decisions and some of the wisdom from decisions that were not.

If you choose to read my posts you will discover that I am a man of faith; conservative with money; and willing to learn from those around me. I adore my wife and love my sons who are all real men!

I have a few scars that demonstrate I have experienced real life and I always give people the benefit of the doubt. I trace my paternal roots to Wild Wonderful West Virginia and my maternal roots to the Empire State, New York for those who are geographically challenged. Born in Virginia, I am a southern gentleman who married a girl from the Mississippi delta after I was transplanted to Memphis ten years ago. I have chosen to bloom where I'm planted although my heart will always yearn for the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I have a pastor's heart and hope to share some wisdom along the way about life, money, and other things that are on my heart.

So there it is, my first post.

Thanks for reading!
