Why?
Because words are delicious. And if I didn't make note of my favorite quotes, I'd probably forget.
Enjoy!

About Me
- John
- I'm a family guy who is constantly balancing important priorities. First and foremost, though, I am a husband and father. Next, I'm a church goer. Then I am an architect, artist, designer, writer, and creator. I'm also a reader and a runner. I thrive on friendships and connections. I love deep meaning and discussions. Above all, I am a believer in God who has made all the other things possible.
