Cornbread for the Simpleton

"... and a slew of crazy friends and family!" is a partial quote at the top of this blog. It's so true ... Cornbread is not his name nor is he a simpleton - but that's what we joke about. Realistically, he possesses the name sake of one of the Bible's most noble characters: Cornelius.

And he has a knack for living up to it.

"We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all ..."

Although I highly doubt any of us will be leaving breakfast next week muttering that scripture, it's guys like Kevin as well as Billy, Robert, Justin, and Dave that inspire me to have wonderful talks with my wife who offers up supposition such as "every woman draws something from the relationship with her father that makes them fall in love with their husband."

Us guys really use that stuff! But we'd never get there unless we were sharing and doing life together.

There is so much happening in our home, our church, our ABF, our neighborhood, our community ... and it's all due to this crazy cast of friends. Who's reading today? You're all amazing. Pass the message on.

I'm blown away by some of the people that surround us. The support, the fun, the prayers, the walk ... it is baffling when I sit back and contemplate on the richness of life. I thought I had something to blurb about today ... but I'm speechless.

Here's some "transom" links if you're bored:
And a little manna ...

1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
