The picture at left comes from my friend Mark Roberts, who was a speaker at GodBlogCon this past weekend. I am sorry, but one look at this caused me to think - this looks like a convention of white guys who were all in the AV Club in their local high schools in 1975. And … Continue reading I Couldn't Go To the Geek Fest

The Formula
As I noted here, this past weekend was our annual church retreat. I was not excited to go, given all the pain and frustration so many have felt over the past year. Our family did not go last year to this same event, as we were not even sure if we would be able to … Continue reading The Formula
Killer Bees!
Parents beware! You can spot the beginings of development problems early - before your kids become delinquent adults.
Taking Our Church to The Moon
Yesterday I mentioned my "freeway epiphany". To be truthful, it was a "double epiphany" (which might make a good name for a jazz combo, I will sell the rights cheaply).I again have Sara Groves to thank. Go ahead, buy anything she has recorded, you will be very happy.Now remember, we have just watched a completely … Continue reading Taking Our Church to The Moon

Minding your Peas and Qs
As I indicated the other day, I have been spending some time here, while in my car. So. Well. This has been an interesting experience for a 47-year old balding white guy from the suburbs. Listening to the top 20 songs of today's younger generation has been sobering, eye-opening, and interesting. This is a different … Continue reading Minding your Peas and Qs
Goodby Yankees, Hello White Sox
If I had my druthers, there would be only one season; summer. But, October makes the fall worth living for....
A Story of Determination
Go here, and be inspired. Donald & Colleen Bordelon have a great deal to teach me about determination. My favorite part - when asked if they didn't feel lonely in their home (being among the first to return to a devastated neighborhood), Colleen answers:"Aw, but its peaceful, and you can see the stars, we come … Continue reading A Story of Determination
