Cute story to start the day here… I read a short story or two from the Bible each morning with my boys. It’s a blast. We’re still reading through Matthew at the moment. Just got to chapter ten. That was the story where Jesus selected twelve of his friends to go out and do the…

The New MacBook
A bit later than anticipated, but as the saying goes, “Better late than never…” The new Apple consumer laptop is a 13.3″ widescreen computer featuring up to a 2.0 Ghz Intel Core Duo processor. Each ships with the built-in iSight camera for video conferences, iLife 06, FrontRow and remote. Fantastic computers, starting at $1099. I…
One Down, One To Go
It’s official. The first of two books that I am hoping to publish this month is to the printer. I am going to do this one the same as last time. Print on demand. I will be getting 25 copies, will maybe order another 25 or so, but then all the rest I will sell…
The Human Condition
I have just watched the most appalling thing I have ever seen. That was not written for “shock factor”. I believe it’s true. I have seen some pretty amazing movies over the years, that depict in vivid, gut-wrenching detail the failures of people through the ages. Failures, and heroics. Some that I have commented on…
Self Esteem
Today I noticed again how much my four and two year olds love themselves. 🙂 It’s not narcissistic, or selfish. It’s not bad at all. They genuinely think that they are cool! My 4-yr old will pray for everyone in the family, saying how he loves them all, and then he’ll finish with himself. “And…
Steph is a Finalist!
A friend of ours is a finalist in the sing-off for singing the national anthem at a Buffalo Bills game this fall! It’s kinda like American Idol, probably… 🙂 She’s great (you’ve heard her on a few of our CDs!) So, when the time comes, I’ll put up a link, and you can vote for…
Local History
Just found this out via my “This Day In History” widget on the ol’ Tiger Dashboard… History of Memorial Day:Several communities claim to have originated Memorial Day. But in 1966, the U.S. government proclaimed Waterloo, New York, the birthplace of the holiday. The people of Waterloo first observed Memorial Day on May 5, 1866, to…
A New Game
I play basketball on Wednesday mornings from about 8am till 9am. It’s an hour of playing hard and having fun. We have anywhere from just two players to one time we had five. Most commonly we have three. So, we have had to be slightly inventive in the format of our games. And, on occasion,…
I’ll Meet Ya At The Pub
Now, I’ve never actually said those words. I can’t recall ever having been to an actual “pub”. Oh wait, one time we took a group of students from our campus ministry to a pub to hear a friend’s Celtic band. Was that a pub or a bar? I know I’ve visited several bars, but, I…
