‘T’was the night before Christmas… and all through our house Coughing and wheezing could be heard all about A sniffle and moan, with a good nose-blow And an occasional wondering about Christmas snow These are the sounds and thoughts this season But nothing could keep us from rememb’ring the reason That all these things are…

Do you understand the drive of needing to solve something? No matter how "meaningless" the end result may appear to be — if there is something in my life that does not work and there is no apparent reason for same… I MUST fix it… or I can not rest. This happened to me tonight….

We just got home from about 130 miles of road that was mostly completely covered with inches of snow. Long ride. Long weekend. But great. Strangest part was, on one little stretch of road, we had to navigate some pretty steep hills and it was sorta a “back-roads” kinda thing… shortly after we got on…

Hey… don’t know what happened… I just don’t have as much to say recently… or perhaps don’t take the time to say it? Well, wanted to correct that a bit tonight. We got to present our collection of God’s truth on the foundational relationship He gave us. We call it One Man, One Woman (OMOW)….

It’s the end of another hectic day… and I am still working. Right now I am installing a new hard drive in our computer. 120GB. That’s big. I used to have 2. That’s small. 🙂 Anyway… I was just thinking… it’s time to BLOG. Nothing in particular to say. In fact, it seems eerily quiet….

On this, the eve of my 29th birthday… I have a couple observations from the recent past: (1) Empty Greatness We were driving from southern West Virginia to Buffalo, NY area on Thanksgiving Day, and as you might imagine, not much of anything was open… everyone was at a home eating turkey! Well, we came…

This one is for you fellow "church leaders" out there… Imagine a church that really behaved as a complete body. Where every member (and I don’t mean the ones who went forward and said some silly phrase of initiation… I mean the people who are part of the church on a regular basis) was an…

Do you know how many people told us their strategies for resisting sales pitches this past week? They heard we were going to take advantage of this offer to come and hear a sales pitch and then stay at the resort for free for 5 days and 4 nights. Everyone had an opinion and they…

Well, here we are, all alone. No kids. No kidding. 🙂 It’s all at once marvelous and mysterious. 🙂 We aren’t quite sure what to do with ourselves. And it’s so quiet. 🙂 I don’t really have anything more to say, just thought I’d mention how strange it is to not have Ian and Alex…
