Back in the Saddle

It's been just over 9 weeks since I last wrote anything.  Coincidently, it has also been just over 9 weeks since Eli was born.  Nothing can prepare you for adding a child to your family when none existed before...no story or piece of advice comes close to conveying the reality of what it feels like to begin the process of shepherding a soul you helped create.  Now, I have made it a goal of mine to never write unless I have something purposeful to say, and in an effort to abide by that standard, I'll end this little blurb now.
