Sometimes, when life is so busy, it actually helps me a LOT to do something totally different. 🙂 The lists for today are completely overwhelming again (I’m almost out of the woods, though, by the way…) but I had made a commitment some time ago to play ball with my ball-playin’ friends starting in September….
Author: Greg
Born in the now distant land of Springfield, OH, and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, I met my future wife Jen in the 8th grade in Earth Science (she was the girl with the big hair and glasses across the room...) Now reside in Palmyra, NY after having found ourselves residing in various homes and domiciles all over the country as we traveled and sang about the Kingdom of God with our growing brood of kids in tow. I now get to design websites and other things graphical for folks around me, as well as sell Apple (Computer) products to anyone who may be interested.

We’re Not Alone…
Was just outside taking the trash to the curb, and as I was walking along the sidewalk, the sun hit it just perfectly revealing tons of spider web crosswalks and a few snail or slug trails. And as I walked by I hit a few more higher-altitude spiders… We are not alone… 🙂
Book Completed
Just finished The Secrets of the Vine … the book I started a couple weeks ago and blogged about it briefly. Just wanted to say it was pretty neat. A quick read for sure, but still cool. The whole book is based on the 15th chapter of John, where Jesus was talking about his relationship…
Joy in the Middle of the Storm
In the midst of minutes of coverage of the amazing effects of Hurricane Frances pummeling Florida, there was a 2 second shot of two young teenagers jumping and splashing in the flooded street. What a cool picture of joy in the middle of pain. So much destruction, you’d think that everyone would be depressed and…
Good Line Of The Day
The topic of the communion meditation today was the hostage situation in Russia this past week. The tale itself is horrific… over a hundred kids dead, shot in the back as they tried to run away. Just really heart-wrenchingly sad… He briefly described the situation leading up to it. The tiny region of Chechnia (who…
Our Place In History
Did you ever think about who is coming after you? How your life will affect not just those in your path today, but those 3 or even 4 generations from now? The small things we choose and do today could have far more impact tomorrow than they do today. 🙂 I was reading Matthew today,…
Hunting for Spammers
I am on the hunt. Hoping for the kill. My prey is a selfish, annoying, too-much-time-on-his-hands fellow who likes to pester other people with technological loopholes. I mentioned the spam issue the other day… well, it’s not officially spam. It’s “spoofing”. Spoofing is where someone sends out email that appears to be from a different…
5 Weird Things About Me
Just for fun… was thinking about this tonight… I have the craziest sense of smell! I can smell things most dogs can not. Just did it tonight. Someone in a restaurant we were patronizing had grape gum or something and I could smell it over all the other stuff! Crazy! I also have an acute…
The Playboy Girl
We sang at a coffee house tonight, here in Clarence Center – our old stomping grounds – and some friends we have not seen in a long time were there. (Marie, I’m going to put you in here by name since you said I didn’t blog about the last time we saw you guys….) 🙂…
Games
I really can’t believe how much game playing there is in life. Really. From early in our life, we are prone to making life a game. Sometimes that’s ok. Games are fun. But not when you make life a contest with everyone else to see if you can gain the upperhand. For example, watching the…
