Education is a marvelous thing. Some of us remember our studies better than others, though. Take Barney Fife, one of Erica & my favorite TV characters, as a prime example. What a memory! Maybe this little clip will bring you some joy and remind you that even if you don't remember every thing you study in school, if you have a good friend to read and laugh with you, you're doing okay!

My Sister, Jenise

This is my sister, Jenise and her husband Jon Henri and their son, Malachi. Jenise continues to ride the wave of time and has landed herself another year older. Happy Birthday, sis!

I am so proud of my sister. Where others would have become bitter and angry, Jenise has persevered through trials and become even more beautiful, kind, loving, generous, hospitable, and full of faith.

She also graduated from college this year, another testament to her persevering spirit. I remember that I used to make fun of her drawings as a child (what a brother!), but she never gave up and finished with her degree in graphic design! After being out of the country for so long I'm so thankful to be living close to Jenise and her family. You're amazing, Jenise, and I love you!
