About Me

Hey, my name is Jacob. I live in Nashville, Tn. with my amazing wife Katie and my son Keiran. We enjoy Jesus, each other, family & friends, music, movies, and lots of other fun stuff. I play drums with Eric Wilson and Empty Hearts (check out their myspace--EW&EH)and occasional random gigs with other fine folks. I'm also a theological geek of sorts. Mainly I just want to understand freedom and how to live in it--It's for freedom that I've been set free! I'll save that topic for future blogs, but for now thanks for stopping in to see how we're doing. Feel free to leave comments and let us know how you're doing as well.

Fatherhood Part 2

O.k., so have I mentioned that I'm a father yet? I'm still sort of weirded out by the whole thing. It's just that it's such a big deal. How does one quantify such a thing? It's...
