Tonight at the grocery store, our seven-year old son Ian saw a poster with a smiling youngster about his own age in full martial arts uniform, inviting him to come take lessons (for a small fee, of course). He asked if he might be able to, and my immediate reaction was, “No, Ian… we’re not…

The Nature Of The Kingdom
In my most recent post, I received a comment to which I was replying… when I realized that the comment was way too long to be a comment. And, I wanted to bring to light some more thoughts I had on that “What If?” article I linked to last time. The comment I reads: Mike…
A Change Of Perspective…
The other day I was reading a blog that Jen & I have been talking about a bunch and wanted to let you in on the conversation. I commented on the blog, so you can just read what I wrote over there, as well the blog and other comments. Basically, it’s another way to look…
Three Years And Counting…
Happy Bloggiversary! Today is the third anniversary of the day I began this blog. Three years, three books, and now 764 posts later… I actually haven’t run out of words yet! 
Somtimes I guess I think I will… Here are some of the highlights from the three years as I see them: The Water…
BBR @ BuffaloBills.com
In other news today… As you are probably aware, I have a Buffalo Bills podcast. Perhaps you also know that I often will post Bills-related thought to that site (rather than here, as I used to do). Well, recently I was asked by the Buffalo Bills to do that on their website!!! (No, I could…
Review: Mac Pro beats Dell on price.
Saw this today, and had to post. I know, I know… just adding fuel to the fire. But… really… it’s true! I brought this up a few months ago… and now other people are realizing the same thing. Read the Yahoo! article here: Review: Mac Pro beats Dell on price – Yahoo! News
Chicken Pox
I believe we are in the throes of everyone’s childhood nightmare… CHICKEN POX! Ian has a crazy rash all over his face, and it’s spreading. It certainly has all the signs of C-Pox, so, I guess… here we go! Our neighbor has already asked if she can have Ian come play so he can infect…
Smelling The Roses
I went to the post office today, in a bit of a rush, just getting the week started and as I was walking up the sidewalk to the entrance, I noticed an older lady approaching the building as well, but she stopped before reaching the sidewalk … to smell a white rose that was in…
The Strangest Thing…
It’s 7:47am, and I am awake. On Sunday. While that is sort of odd, it’s perhaps more odd that we are awake this early to go to the county fair. Jen’s dad is preaching at the worship service at the fair this morning, so they asked if we would like to join them singing….
E-Mail Forwards
I am NOT a fan of e-mail forwards. Mostly I skim the ones from my parents (my Dad likes to pass them along) and my sister (since she sends them less frequently)… but overall, I know they’re all just garbage. It would be like reading tabloids or something – purely for the entertainment value. So,…
