Well, as Nathan and I are unable to communicate through email (thanks Tommy Ptak, it truly is a blessing to not recieve his emails) I am unsure of my scheduled day to post...so I hope I have not stepped on anyone's blogtoes...

Most of you probably know me, and at some point in time have received a check from me (no need for applause)...I have been working here at TLC Medical for 3 1/2 years and consider myself very blessed to be a part of a company and family that truly does strive to put Christ first in all that is done.

I fell upon the most amazing blessing in my life five years ago in a French class in Charleston, SC. My now wife Dana, was then a funny, brassy, and encouragingly strong woman who has shown me nothing but truth, love, and friendship in our very short time together. (Also, the only reason I got an "A" in the class to show her just how smart I was.) When we first met I was an atheist and leading a life that left much to be desired. Dana and her family have embraced me from day one with the intent of first, leading me to faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ, and second to help build me into the man He truly wants me to be. My own family is now slowly beginning to turn their lives away from dependence on themselves and realize the need for a God who loves, knows, and can mend all of lifes issues. I know I am very lucky to be able to say that I truly enjoy my work and who I spend the majority of my time with.

I will finish up my degree in Accounting on August 9th, and am very glad that for the time being, that my formal education is complete. I love the idea of this blog and think that it will be a great way to get to know everyone around the company and for us all to participate in each other's lives outside of our professional relationships.

Hope everyone has a great day today.

Richard
