We’re headed to the LEAH (Loving Education At Home) convention! It’s one of Jen’s favorite times of the year. She loves the home school convention! This year we’re taking Ian, too! Should be a fun time. It’s also funny that we have a good friend named Leah. What if there was a convention named after…

iTunes "Releases" Music
iTunes has announced today the beginning of their move to DRM-free music (meaning, no copy protection… which has been really annoying to digital music purchasers for quite some time). This also means that people who don’t have iPods can purchase stuff from iTunes and just put the song right on their non-Apple MP3 player now….
The Shack – Just Beginning
I read a few chapters of this book last night. It has come VERY highly recommended. I got a copy from the folks who are publishing it, for helping with their website. Actually, I have been worried it couldn’t possibly live up to all of the accolades it has received! But, so far… it has….
Trust In Action
I’m having a difficult time right now. I know something to be true, even able to put it into very clear words in a conversation with some friends. But I’m having trouble knowing what to do next. I know God will take care of my family. I know that I am not the provider for…
Memorial Day Weekend
Wow! What a crazy weekend! (You know it has to be if I’m writing about the weekend that WAS on WEDNESDAY!!) I certainly don’t have time to detail all the fun that was had over the long weekend right here, but the brief recap is… Friday we gave our vocal chords a rare work out…
Memorial Day
(Flags hung on the front of our house… Soon to be unfurled again!) It’s Memorial Day Weekend! We’re planning to get together with Jen’s family, and my sister and family this Sunday over in Buffalo. It’s the official start of summer! But it’s also a time to remember the people who selflessly have given their…
Earth
I’ve been watching Star Trek a lot again (my Sabres are done, so… I have more viewing time.) 🙂 I love the stories… I love the idea of space travel. I even love the idea of alien worlds and cultures. Pretty neat. I have a nifty screen saver that shows a real-time satelite view of…
Musicality
It’s been a long time since we have done a “real” basic gig. Well, we did do one retreat weekend in early February, and before that we did 8 or 9 Christmas concerts… but I can’t actually remember the last time we just did a concert of our music. Tonight we’re going to be doing…
Distractions
The boys and I are reading through Luke (I believe I have already said that…) and today Jesus was addressing another crowd (SIDENOTE: I posted an entry here before about how it seemed that Jesus was not usually speaking to crowds but more to small groups and even individuals. It seems however that in Luke,…
Air Conditioner Installed!
Today is a special day for me. Every year I both rue the day, and am elated on that same day. Today I installed my window air conditioning unit in my office. And I turned it on. 🙂 IT’S SO AWESOME IN HERE!!! COOL AND DRY…. AWESOME!!! 🙂 The other day I like is when…
