At the home of some good friends the other night, my son Ian told our hosts that Alex didn’t like something (I forget what) because he doesn’t like rules… “just like Dad.” 🙂 That gave our friends a little chuckle (maybe partly because they know it’s true!) and initiated a brief conversation about the need…

Race To The Moon
Last night I watched an hour-long PBS special (via Netflix) called “Race To The Moon”. It’s certainly another recommended addition to your queue. The story is just incredible. How in the world did we pull that off in the sixties… and we’re not going back till 2013 or so??? The video is about Apollo 8,…
God & Money
Here’s what we read this morning… can anyone make sense of this for me? Jesus seems to be saying, use money like the world does, so you’ll have a reward in eternity… but, you can’t serve God & money… still trying to figure out what he meant here… Luke 16:1-13Jesus said to his disciples: A…
Replicator, Anyone?
A friend sent me this link today, and I thought it was a joke. But it’s for real. There are printers that make full-color, 3-D models!?! That’s like Star Trek! Wow!
New Tabs & Jesus
Hi folks. It’s going to be pretty busy work-wise around here this week. I’ll post to the blog when I get a chance, but I think I might mostly be doing some clean up and re-organizing. 🙂 You’ll notice the new tabs just above the main content of the pages… I thought I would take…
Goal!
Well I just finished watching the movie, “Goal! The Dream Begins” I had gotten it from the library last year around the World Cup time… but never got around to watching it. I saw the preview and thought it looked worth the watch… and had even planned on watching with my boys, who had really…
Saltwater as Fuel
This is a pretty amazing story. A guy figures out a way to kill cancer cells using radio waves… and somehow in the process also figured out he could ignite SALT WATER, to temps up to 1500º?!? Crazy. Thanks for the link, Dad. 🙂
Killer Asteroid Coming – 2029!!
A friend forwarded me a link to an article he was reading this weekend. The article is from NASA, in 2004. It was determined that a rather sizeable asteroid has an orbit that intersects with Earth’s orbit, and there was a 1 in 60 chance (One article I found claimed a 1 in 40 chance!)…
The Shack – Completed
I think I have mentioned a few times the book I was reading (and finished last night) The Shack? I know I did at least once. Well I finally finished it and though it came extremely highly recommended, it did not disappoint! I was impressed. 🙂 Usually such high praise as it received can only…
We Have Tickets… Sort Of
Speaking of “kidless excursions”… On a bit of a hunch late this afternoon, I checked out Southwest.com, to see if I could book our travel for Oct/Nov this year when we will spend 7-9 days away from our children – JUST ME AND JEN – celebrating our 10th year of marriage. (I CAN NOT WAIT!)…
