May 28, 2021 As we celebrate the unofficial kickoff summer...it feels so much more than a new season to me. It feels like the start of a new era. As we start to emerge from what has to be the strangest and at times, hardest year and a half of our lives, we've got new reason to be hopeful. A hope is the most important thing in the world! Hope drives us, it gives us strength to keep going, to work hard, and to look toward tomorrow. For me, as we start a new season of the year, I also start a new season of my life as my wife and I are days away from welcoming our second child, a baby girl, into the world. and my HOPE is that she grows up in a world that is full of love, that is safe, that is accepting.
