This is the blog of Jacob F. Roecker, a father of three, and husband to a terrific wife. I graduated from Utah State University with a degree in Speech Communication in May of 08. I was also awarded USU's "Man of the Year" for 2008. I have served in the Army in various capacities since 1997 and have deployed twice in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During my time in the Army my achievements have been recognized with several military awards including the Bronze Star Medal.

My family and I currently live between two small towns north east of Fort Sill, Oklahoma where I will be serving for the next few years.

The title of this blog is constructed from the idea that there is a better life after this one. If that life in the hereafter tastes better it will probably be because there's time to let the bread rise. Here, life seems so busy--yet fun--that it's like an unleavened recess.
