About This Blog

My name is Ray Craig, and I am the blessed father of two terrific kids – a 12-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. I grew up on a farm in Iowa before moving to Chicago, where I have worked hard for a successful family-owned computer company for over 25 years.

My wife passed away ten years ago, which forever changed our family. That experience taught me tough lessons I likely would not have learned without such suffering.

Since that time, I feel I’m finally going in the right direction, where I find myself getting closer to God and Jesus.

My blog shares traditional Midwestern values through my life stories, focusing on faith, parenting, habits, business, and sports.

I hope my writing helps at least one other soul on their journey.

Do it all for the glory of God.

I dedicate this blog to my wife, Kristy. She flashed into my life like a shooting star, leaving behind the most precious gifts a man could ever receive.
