Jerry’s World

Thanks for stopping in. Here you can learn a little about me, a lot about the goings on of my family, see some fun photos of us, and read a few of my writings.
I love to tell stories and write, and you’ll see a few of them here.
I love to pass along little things that I’ve learned. I love learning new things. I love especially learning things that help me be a better father and husband and help me understand life and love and friendship.
I’m keenly interested in (read, “deeply concerned about”) this great country and the direction it’s headed (which, in my opinion, isn’t good--more on that to come).
I’m a big believer in being a builder, someone who strengthens, lifts, builds, and creates. And, I hope to practice one of the finest tenets of Boy Scouting; I want to leave this world a little better than how I found it when I got here.

“Imagine yourself a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps you understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing, so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of; throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage, but He is building a palace.” — C. S. Lewis
