An Introduction

My name is Randall aka Rando.  Over the course of the last 3 years I have been on quite a ride.  My lovely wife went through a long period of time without steady employment and also suffered two miscarriages.  I went through a deep depression that found me in therapy and on antidepressants.  I have also quit two jobs during a recession and quit graduate school when I was halfway through my program.  We even ended up filing bankruptcy and losing our house do to some very poor financial decisions early in our marriage.  Throughout all of this I kept my faith in God and continued to give my tithe and time at our church.  My faith is a huge part of my life and they is why I put God first both in my life and in the title of this blog.  The other two topics mentioned, fitness and photography, are new in my life.  Having been out of shape most of my life I made the decision earlier this year to do something about it.  Since June I have been working out with a personal trainer.  However, I have not done much regarding my diet until now.  Photography is actually a new hobby in my life.  After years of wanting a more advanced camera I was lucky enough to receive one as a gift from my mom.  Beginning this year I am going to learn the art of photography and I really look forward to it. 

That is a very brief intro to what I hope this blog becomes.  More and more of my experiences will be shared over the course of time.  I decided to start blogging again after many years because I have come to a crossroads in my life that is very real.  Writing has always been an outlet for me but for some reason over the last several years I have stopped.  The good news is that I have started again.  This is going to be an exciting journey and I hope everyone that reads enjoys the ride.
