My grandpa turned 85 years old on Sunday. I called and got to chat with him just a little. Had a fun birthday planned with his family (my mom & dad, aunt & uncle, and a couple others) and told me he doesn’t think 85 is that old. But it is. It’s odd, but all…

What I Know Right Now
Recently I have been trying to figure out what it is that I like to do. I have plenty to do, but in trying to simplify I have been taking inventory of what I both like to do, and do well. Here’s what I have so far: I love people. I am a people person…
The Intricacy Of Us
I recently watched a Discovery Channel show titled 2057: Future Car or something like that. It’s more than just about the cars of the future. Really it’s about life 50 years from now. Projected by scientists and theorists who feel they are on the current cutting edge of technology and such sciences. A good portion…
Too Much
The word of the day in the Campbell home is “busy.” It’s been the word for many days, many weeks, and even many months. We know some of the causes (one being that we have five children, one of whom is an infant) but we just keep scratching our heads when we look at what…
A-Social, or Hyper-Social?
I have been spending a lot of time using Facebook of late. Whether just playing word games with friends, or making use of their live, instant message chat feature, or just keeping in touch with friends however possible – I’ve been there. I am a people person (as I have said before) and so it…
Hit-N-RunShawn Lynch
Now, I’m not one to make light of others’ misfortunes (usually) but I have to share a funny line regarding Bills RB Marshawn Lynch and his alleged involvement in a recent hit-and-run accident resulting in a minor injury of a pedestrian: “All his life, he was taught to hit people and keep running. Now it…
Don’t I Know You From Somewhere?
I was noticing something quite strange last night… At the boys baseball games last night, we met some friends of our friends last night, and that got me to thinking. They are friends with several of our good friends (we regularly hear their names in conversation), and so we were talking with them about how…
Unique
For some reason I am often reminded that God made me unique. I’m a bit differenter than your average Joe. I mean, first off, my name’s not even Joe. So, I’m different already. But, as I’m sure I’ve mentioned here before, a friend of mine used to call me the “Curve Wrecker” because I was…
My Treasure
Today I was looking out the window at my kids playing with their cousins, and it was very clear where my treasure is. I can’t explain it other than an overwhelming sense of love for my kiddos. As I looked at them, I just really loved them, and I knew that there was nothing more…
Hammer & Nails
This weekend has been a “work” weekend for me. No, not more hours in the office (although, I have been working on a project for a client in the background the whole time as well). I was invited to help my sister and her husband finish their basement. My Dad made plans to come up…
