Day 4…

27 February 2012

Wondering where posts from Days 1-3 are? Well…they don’t exist. I started this fast last Friday, not as a totally planned thing, nor some diet thing, nor as some super-spiritual thing for Lent. Was just an inkling that began earlier on Friday. So I did. Not sure why yet, and maybe this is where the [...]

Pressure? What Pressure?

So. Maddie has recently started playing with a doll, carrying it around, calling it her baby sister. Tonight a friend of JoAnn’s-not a close friend, mind you, more of an acquaintance…told her that she had a dream about JoAnn having a baby girl at home. The three oldest also are wanting a baby. What’s left, a [...]

Christmas: A Beginning…And An End.

24 December 2011

0 Comments

The beginning, of course, is easy to see: the birth of the child, the beginning of fulfillment of prophecy, the very start of what would be a new faith. But Christmas was also an end. The end between divisions: between Jew and Gentile, between sexes, between cultures, between races, between rich and poor…between every division [...]

What Are You Thankful For…?

24 November 2011

4 Comments

I’m thankful for so much…for my family and these four very different and awesome kiddos that I love more every day; for living in a country where we still do have many freedoms that the vast majority of people worldwide do not have; for a God who loves us, and for doors He opens as [...]

A Life Well-Lived…

Last week I attended the funeral for the father of a couple of old friends friends of old. It was difficult so closely removed from my grandpa’s funeral, but wanted to pay my respects. And I am glad I did. What I heard were wonderful stories about a father who was clearly loved and respected by his [...]

A Biblical View on Class Warfare and the “Occupy” Movement

7 October 2011

4 Comments

I normally don’t use my blog for this sort of post, but after the events of the past few days and a particular post on Facebook that I engaged in, I knew it was necessary. Let me preface by admitting that I am not a fan of the vast majority of this so-called movement. First, [...]

Approximately Two Thoughts About the Upcoming Move…

4 October 2011

0 Comments

Last year when we moved, we really couldn’t afford it…it was a large sum of money to come up with with short notice. This year, well, we were caught by surprise, seeing as how we’d arranged a multi-year lease. But both times there have been special, larger, non-standard projects with clients that came up. So [...]

Driving this morning, thinking about our housing predicament, trying not to worry. Was listening to Fitz in the Morning on Seattle’s 100.7, where they were having listeners call or text in about what the biggest thing going on for them this weekend (in honor of Fitz getting married tomorrow). [And yes, it's a country station...we [...]

Review: The Good The Bad & The Difference

28 May 2011

2 Comments

Now that Maddie is home from the hospital and things are starting to return to normal, thought it’d be a good time to catch up on a review that I’ve been needing to write…for months. Normally, delays in reviews are due to a sense of dread. In this case, however, nothing anywhere near that. But [...]

Follow-up on The Shack

17 May 2011

0 Comments

A few folks responded to the original post either here or elsewhere, people that I know and respect. And they had valid questions and concerns. This I like and can handle because it opens up those issues and the book to discussion, unlike Driscoll’s methods. Speaking of which, found a fantastic summary of those methods [...]
