*Quick Summary: The author discusses some of his life events and how those factor into his belief in Jesus Christ.* All through this blog are, and will be, mentions of my Christianity. It is not something I take lightly; I have worked to make it the core of who I am. I try to follow […]
Congratulations to my dad and my former co-workers at Hendrick Motorsports on winning the 2020 NASCAR Cup Championship! Having seen several Championship runs from the inside, I know how much effort it takes, and I’m extremely happy for my family and friends there! While I never spent much time around Chase when I worked there, […]
One of the more interesting optical illusions I’ve seen through the years are the Gathering for Gardner Dragons. These paper dragons appear to follow you as you move around the room. It is a very fun and interesting project for kids and adults alike! I’ve decided to post a couple .pdf downloads, along with individual […]

A few days ago, at 5:28 AM, the morning of Saturday, June 13, I went in my back yard to let my dogs out and happened to catch the SpaceX Starlink mission in the sky to the East-Northeast. Not only did I not know SpaceX was going to have a launch that morning, but I […]
I recorded this video for Facebook back in December of 2013, but never posted it here because – Well, it’s silly. And yes, it hurts to do this. Because I’m trying to post here every month, and I don’t have a lot I’m ready to post quite yet, I present – Me, Mr. Googly Eyes!

*Quick Summary: The author gives advice to a fast food worker, who in turn, later gives the same advice to a customer.* I used to go to the same Southern-themed fast food restaurant every morning.
