Lately I have been running several things dry. First it was my own body, falling asleep during a BILLS GAME almost instantly, with no recollection of the “nodding off” part. Just complete, immediate shut down. Then today I had a couple more incidents… First, on returning from our friends house, the van started acting like…

Quick Kirstie Story
This morning, 3-year-old Kirsten joined Dad and the boys for our morning Bible reading. We are near the end of the book of Luke, and Jesus is getting people riled up – almost the time that they killed him. Which also happened to be Passover, when they kill lambs. I read the words, “The day…
Nessie
August 22nd, in the year 565 (whoa, that’s a LONG time ago!) the Irish monk St. Columba is said to have made the first sighting of the Loch Ness “monster” while helping establish Christianity in the wilds of Scotland. Crazy.
Ice Cream Record Books?
I have noticed recently that my 31 straight days of ice cream in the month of July was not really that hard to do. Without really trying, I have added now 19 more days to that total (and maybe a few more from before!) On July 4th I told some friends that I wanted to…
Hot Stuff!
Last night Jen and I went downstairs to our basement game table to play a game and spend a little time together after the kids went to bed. It was fun! We played a crazy card game called Charge It! where the point of the game it to rack up as much credit card debt…

Center Stage
Today as I was running an errand or two around our small town, I noticed that some people probably see our home a bit differently than we do. First you have the tour guides, some of whom may even live near here year-round, who guide the happy tourists who come from all over. And, obviously,…
Picky Eater
We were invited to join some friends tonight for a little campfire in their back yard, complete with S’mores! I know Steve from playing basketball together for a few years now, but we’ve not gotten to spend much time together with the rest of the families. Somehow the conversation migrated to my time in Venezuela….
There’s a Dead Skunk In the Middle of the Road…
“Stinkin’ to high heaven!” When I was a young lad, my family lived in the country. Due to our secluded location, we traversed many a wilderness road. Due to these wilderness roads, we would often see, or just smell the remains of a cute little black and white skunk. And, frequently the refrain of that…
