The Way

Here we are at 2013 and how amazingly quick 2012 was in so many ways. A year ago today, Shelbi and I were in San Francisco "on one last trip before you get married"excursion. She was not even engaged yet, but this dad knew, that by year's end, Shelbi would add a new last name. We had a great time out there and in April, Mark popped the question and in August, well, if you follow this blog at all, you know that we enjoyed a glorious day at Mark and Shelbi's wedding . 2012 brought on some new adventures for us as a family too. We said so long to Evelyn in May (the Chinese student who spent the school year with us) and said Hello to Alysha Cook . She has been with us since July and we are thankful that God put us all together. She has picked up a new name while here so if you see her, just call her Lily. I took on a new role at work and am excited to see what God allows us to be a part of in making a difference in cities. Actually, I get back at it Jan 2. It is a f...

The MLB Playoffs are in full swing and in my opinion, this new format shows how goofy leaders have become in this sport. A one-game playoff and then the Division Series where teams with the better record in the regular season are sent on the road for the first two games. Seems to be no reward for playing well during the regular season. But . . . they get three games at home IF it goes to 5 games. I realize that it did not effect all of the better recorded teams but Selig seems to just be a goober and this is another instance. I remember when MLB used to be fun. I spent the weekend watching alot of football since Sondra headed to MO to be with her mom (more on that in a minute). The MIZZOU debacle last week of 5 players being suspended for marijuana use; Pinkel announcing a divorce from his wife; etc all led to a miserable performance on the field against that powerhouse Vandy. Now, I like Vandy. I have struck up a casual friendship with Jordan Rodgers, quarterback for Vandy and ...

If you are a repeat offender to my blog (yes, I am speaking to you dad and about two other people), you will notice that I have changed the look up a little. After 4plus years of the "dark" look I have decided to lighten things up a bit. The profile pic is one from a photo shoot I did back around February for a MORE Magazine which is supposed to do some little blurb on what I am passionate about. I wanted to go with Sondra as that story but they said it had to be ministry related and I told them that she had taken me on as a ministry project almost 28 years ago. Needless to say, I tried and they went with something else that I said I was sort of passionate about. I would disclose it here, but . . . I signed a contract so I cannot reveal before it comes out which is sometime soon I think. One of the great new things at the Turner household is Alysha. Alysha is staying with us for a few months while she waits on an opportunity to get involved in a "missions around the...
