On the surface this is a music post, but it really isn’t. It’s about human emotion and feelings. Before I get to that…

I’ve known about George Takei for probably my entire life, as I was watching Star Trek as far back as the 60’s (in a playpen, but still)…  As the years went by I learned he was way more than just an actor, he was an activist for any number of things, including gay rights, but […]

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Today is August 31, 2011. It’s a day that’s fairly odd for me emotionally. It’s in some ways the end of the road for the […]

This document was originally written as part of an assignment in a discipleship course my church offers regularly.  I wrote it back in late March of 2007 when I was taking the course.  I expanded it in July of 2010, picking up where the discipleship course part of this ended, and talked about what’s happened […]

As some of you know who are reading this, Lynn and I found out on February 4th that we were pregnant (well, I found out anyway). We unfortunately ceased being pregnant on March 5th. This story is about our lost pregnancy, and how God was faithful to us, even during this time. I decided to […]

Generally when guys make this kind of public statement, there’s some gigantic profession of their love for their woman. That’s not why […]

While my daughter can say words and “two word” sentences, she can’t do anything like this story below. I guess we have lots of fun to look forward to. One of my nephews back home came through with a doozy of a line, that prompted this author to almost spew his dinner onto the table […]

Last night my wife posted an entry on her blog detailing everything she did in a day of taking care of Samantha. It’s rather a lot of stuff, and from my perspective appeared to be designed to show off the fact that taking care of a baby/toddler keeps you from having any kind of set […]
