I gotta love on Apple a bit. First of all, I got my $29 iPod shuffle today! It was my birthday present to myself, and a Christmas gift to Ian. 🙂 I told him I’d share it with him. It’s awesome. 🙂 Second… here’s the quick version of the story: Yesterday, my laptop power supply…

A Few Thoughts Over Breakfast
I’m sitting here in my gym clothes, ready to get my weekly intense excersize (I play basketball with a couple other guys on Wednesday mornings) and just thought I’d catch y’all up on the latest happenings around here. We got back Sunday night at 1am from our visit with my parents and other extended family…
White
The ground was white this morning! Awesome!! It’s melting away rather quickly, but it was so nice to finally see snow! Hoping for lots more of that this winter. We were kinda short-changed last year. Hardly any snow at all. That was very strange. It was fun to hear the kids’ excitement this morning. 🙂…
Oh, To Be Noticed
A few times today I noticed my infant daughter, and recognized her with a smile or just by saying her name. Obviously it was just a small gesture of kindness, but for some reason, it means the world to her. Maybe especially from Dad? But regardless of the one who is noticing, it was very…
Fingernails and Jesus
This morning as the boys and I were reading through John (our latest morning read) I was struck by a simple line that John (who is known as “The Baptist”) spoke. Regarding Jesus baptizing more people than he was at that moment, he replied, “No one can do anything unless God in heaven allows it.”…
Which God Did This?
I am working on a website for a video that some friends of mine had a big part in making. The video is being produced by a former member of the Mormon church who has since discovered evidence upon evidence that what the Mormons teach just does not hold up. The video is very thorough,…
Group Think
If you know me in the slightest, you know that I am not at all the political sort. When I was at Michigan State, almost 15 years ago now, we lived in suites (two rooms shared a common bathroom). One of the guys in the other suite connected to mine was a super, duper, dee-duper…
Cute Campbell Kid Stories
Jen has just posted another entry to our family website with four cute stories from our middle kids. They’re at a fun age, 2.5 and 5. Lots of interesting and fun things come from their hearts and minds out through their tiny mouths. Definitely worth the read. 🙂 www.WeTheCampbells.net
An Idea For Professional Sports
I was really bothered by baseball getting WAY too much attention from the TV sports segments well into the football season this year, and was talking with Jen recently about how all the sports should get out of each other’s way. We know it won’t happen (thanks to the commercialization of all the pro sports)…
Vacation
Some of you reading this know that we have been on vacation for the past week. Now, all of you reading this know that. 🙂 It was a very different vacation in that we did not know where we would be spending it even up to the eve of the first day of the week…
