I love spending time outdoors with my wife and two kids. Golf, skiing, cycling, hiking, and the beach are our favorites.

Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
