About a month ago, my wife turned 30. All year long, college and high school friends have been joining the ranks of the third-decaders. Well, today’s the day for me! Growing up, I thought, “Dude.. in 2004 I’m gonna be THIRTY!” Back in the 80s, both of those numbers seemed gigantic. But here we are….
Year: 2004
Holiday Cheer
You hear the phrase “holiday cheer” and you may see it in tv commercials and various advertisments, but is there such a thing? Do the holidays actually “cheer” people? I am here to tell you, in Seattle, they do! I could not believe the friendliness, the cheery dispositions, the general love your neighbor attitude that…
Our Mission
Do you know that Christians actually get tired of being Christians? I don’t mean the simplicity of being a child of God, I mean all of the stuff we do that makes us feel like Christians. We get up early to have “quiet times”, faithfully reading the same Bible passages we have read many times…
Family
I really do enjoy what I do. I love to put together sets of music that will lead people’s hearts and minds to the love of their Father. I love to create things with words, with graphics, and then to translate to a page on the internet viewable by you. I love all of that….
He Loves Me, by Wayne Jacobsen
We listened today to a major portion of an audio book received last week from our friends in Elk Grove. It is by a man named Wayne Jacobsen, who just has a really cool view on life in the Kingdom. I believe you can get all his books at amazon.com, or check his blog page,…
The Wrong One
Mt. Shasta – Mt. Shasta, CA Today was our second longest day of driving (that I can remember). We drove 761.1 miles. That’s a lot. A whole lot. But we got to see LOTS of amazing stuff along the way. One thing we greatly anticipated on today’s trip was the drive past Mt. Shasta. As…
Some Thoughts From A Week Of Rest
This week was a gift from God – at just the time we needed it, so I thought I would share some of the stuff that happened on this brief respite. We played games! Our family loves board games and card games. So this week we played lots of Uno and other games little boys…
It’s Not Fair!
For some reason, lots of us expect something out of life. More than something, we expect a lot. There is a whole list of things that we think we deserve. That life somehow owes us. That, my friends, is faulty thinking. Life is not fair. I am not even thirty, and I have definitely learned…
The Army Of The Unborn
Recently I have been pondering the vast army of people God created just for heaven. Many are there by His choice only. They were greatly desired here, but never made it to their parents’ arms. Some did, but only for a very short time. We have some friends who only got to spend a few…
E Pluribus Unum
We have noticed something on this trip. Something that perhaps we have heard of, or even known intellectually before, but the experience this particular tour of our country has been more vivid. Something that today, frankly, bothered or perhaps even worried me. You have heard it said (if you are a follower of politics or…
