When mom and dad were over here in West Palm Beach a few weeks back, we went out to the South Florida Shooting Sports gun club where I am a member for some shooting. We took the whole family because Lily just loves to go out and watch me shoot. An incredible storm came up out of nowhere, so the shooting didn’t last long. We even were hailed on.

Fully Automatic Rifle

So I am writing about something a little bit different tonight. As you know I am primarily a gun owner because I am a hunter. But with my move to Florida I have become more serious about personal protection. I want to be prepared if God forbid the day ever comes when I need to defend the life of my family or myself. In addition to this, I have an entrepreneurial interest in the shooting sports industry because it is a niche I understand and can relate to. Owning only two shotguns and a pistol doesn’t make me a “gun nut”, but I do generally like everything about guns except their misuse. As with all things, balance is needed.

I said in April I am preparing to cycle RAGBRAI 2008, and this weekend is part of that preparation. I am riding one of the top 100 rides in America (according to Bicycling Magazine) with my younger brother. Goatneck had 2,350 riders last year. That makes it one of the largest rides in America, though nothing compared to RAGBRAI.

Word is starting to get out a bit that I have resigned my position with Stonebriar Community Church this week and accepted a position with the 30th largest church in the US. We wanted to let all of you know this as early in the process as possible, but also had some details to work out before I could make things official. I have been away from consistent blogging for awhile so that I could get this life decision made.
