Introduction

Last December I graduated from Grad School.  I thought to myself that now that I don't have homework I will read all the books I want to read and I will be able to spend time writing what I want to write.  Well almost a whole year has passed and I've read some books I've wanted to read (working on that) and I've written a little.  I enjoy writing and wanted a venue to put out some of my thoughts and just want to write about things that interest me.  So here it is I've created a blog to post various thoughts or interests that I have.
Some things you should know about me.
1.  I work at New Life Community Church in West Lakeview and am constantly going to God's word and praying to see how God desires to use our church to reach our neighborhood and all of Chicago.
2.  I am married to an amazing woman, Brooke Bacon, who is currently carrying our first child.  So we are going through a change of life and as I got to see my baby move for the first time last week I felt my whole perspective on life start to change.
3.  I love Chicago Sports, particularly the Chicago Bulls.  I grew up in the time of Jordan and have been caught up with the Bulls even during the dire years of one Marcus Fizer.  If we have a girl I would be tempted to name her Rose Mary-Jane (MJ) Bacon.  Don't worry the wife won't let it happen.
4.  I thoroughly enjoy movies.  Growing up I memorized what movies we had taped off of TV and tried to watch each one from "Fried Green Tomatoes" to "Escape from New York."  If my budget was large enough I would go to the movies every weekend.
5.  I really really like Pizza.  I grew up on eating pizza at least once a week.  Rosati's, Lou's, Dondi's, Moretti's, and Gino's were common carryout names in our household.  Pizano's thin crust pizza is the best pizza in the world and there is no discussing this.
Based on these facts about my life you can get a picture of the various things I will write about.
