I know nothing. The longer that I am a dad the more I realize just how true this is. Sure, I’ll have seasons where I think I’ve got everything figured out… until I don’t.

Time has changed this blog from a gaming ministry idea into a place where I can be myself. JohnnyBGamer is a place I go to process faith, fatherhood, gaming, and sometimes even politics–You can thank my History/Political Science degree for that–.
Welcome to a place where I share my life; Welcome to JohnnyBGamer.
