- my wife. She's smart, wise, compassionate, thoughtful, funny, sarcastic, and beautiful. I'd be lost without her.

- my family. They encourage me, love me, help me, and support me. I also like that they disagree with me, too. Keeps me honest.

- my health.

- God's provision, grace, mercy, and love.

- an amazing church family, both at Calvary and in Bloomington.

- a handful of great friends who I can trust with absolutely everything in my life. You guys are life rafts.

- the little things that make life fun.

- simple pleasures.

- my two dogs. They are great companions.

- my unborn baby. Future fatherhood has already changed my life.

- laughter.
