Last weekend I began my tour of Texas, and it has been a whirlwind. Thus far, I have been to DFW and Abilene, with several more stops along the way. It has been a blessing to see friends from every stage of life. I have been blessed with the best friends a guy could ask for. Unfortunately, the visits have been way to short, so I leave every conversation wishing that there could be more time together. Nonetheless, it has been a wonderful week.
During my time on the road, I have been trying to get back into running, which has been nice since I have been gaining weight with all the great food I have been eating here. Here’s to sweating 
it looks as though St. Francis is coming to greet you, while Moses is about to throw the law at you for sweating on the new sabbath!
Hey Mark, you cut all that crazy hair off!!! I’m married now and going to be a first grade teacher. Would love to see you if you’re in Houston.
