"You'll never make it life, Ben. You'll probably end up working some dead-end, minimum-wage job…if you're lucky."

Now, before you judge my 3rd grade teacher, you should know; I had just fallen out of my chair because I was sleeping...for the second time...that period. 

But, if I could see her now, I'd tell her and her fuzzy crustache that was the best thing anyone could've said to me.  You see, sometimes you need someone to tell you you're a loser, to realize that you're not.

So here I am; avid napper and loser-turned-pastor.  I get to help people with their faith and find out how they work into God's plan.  I'm also married to a beautiful woman and, despite my ogre-ish good looks, we have a beautiful little girl.  

I haven’t been around the block very many times, but I have scrapped my knee and teepeed a few houses along the way. I've learned some good principles that have helped me understand this broken world, and I hope this blog will help another loser-turned-winner. 


You are not a loser...well maybe you are...but hey, there's no reason to stay that way.
