While watching White Christmas with my girls, I was reminded of a line Bing Crosby sings:

“If you’re worried and you can’t sleep,
just count your blessings instead of sheep…
and you’ll fall asleep
counting your blessings.”

It’s a gentle reminder of how much there is to be thankful for. My family and I have been incredibly blessed, and I know many reading this have been as well. My hope this Christmas season—and in every season to come—is that we remain mindful of those blessings and look for ways to be a blessing to others.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas!

Sitting down with a financial advisor doesn't have to be uncomfortable! Many people sit down with us and don't become clients. That may sound odd, but not every conversation needs a business transaction. Bring us your questions, we'll give you answers in your terms – then we can both decide if working together makes sense.

Our office primarily works with families that have complex financial needs, healthcare professionals and retirees. We enjoy working through life's intricacies and providing solutions. This often leads us to working with other financial professionals, such as accountants, attorneys and bankers. Most importantly, we provide guidance and education around decisions made. This allows us to demonstrate that we're working in your best interest.

When you call us or come in, you'll be greeted by Melisa Murphrey, who's been with us since 2021. She runs the office and provides a high standard of client care. She's married to Tim and has two grown daughters, Katie and Emily.

My wife, Marissa, and I have three girls, Aubree, Mary Middleton and Lucy. My dream is to be the dad that I had for them, and most days, two of the three say that I am. We are active members of First United Methodist Church in Shreveport and enjoy attending community events with friends. We love to travel and we're always looking for recommendations.

If this sounds like a team with whom you'd enjoy working with, give us a call. We enjoy helping people, and we look forward to helping you and your family.

Last month, we celebrated a remarkable milestone — 50 years of service from Shawn Daily, lovingly known to many as Papa Shawn.

He’s accomplished all there is to accomplish in the professional world. The awards and photos covering the office are just symbols of a much deeper legacy — one built through decades of helping thousands of families in the Natchitoches area, and through mentoring and guiding so many others along the way.

I’m deeply honored to be one of those he took the time to invest in — and even more honored to be the one entrusted with continuing the legacy he's built. His work, wisdom, and quiet faithfulness have impacted generations.

There's a poem, The Bridge Builder by Will Allen Dromgoole, that exemplifies Shawn's character. It tells the story of a man who, after crossing a dangerous chasm, turns back to build a bridge — not for himself, but for those who come after him. That’s exactly what Papa Shawn has done.

He’s built something lasting — not just a business, but a bridge — for all of us to walk across.

Thank you, Shawn, for being a bridge builder for me, and for so many others.

-------------------------------

The Bridge Builder

An old man going a lone highway,
Came, at the evening cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
Through which was flowing a sullen tide
The old man crossed in the twilight dim,
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.

“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“You are wasting your strength with building here;
Your journey will end with the ending day,
You never again will pass this way;
You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide,
Why build this bridge at evening tide?”

The builder lifted his old gray head;
“Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said,
“There followed after me to-day
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been as naught to me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him!”
