If you’re like me, you got a sticker similar to this a couple days ago at your local polling booth. (Our son, Ian, was with me, and he actually got my sticker.) It is your badge of honor for participating in our great representative governmental system. This year may not have been the more exciting,…

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.

Testing The System: Failure?
Curious as to the scope and effectiveness of the Nationwide Emergency Alert System test scheduled for 2pm EST today, I did a little research. A quick scan of various news sources seems to suggest it didn’t go off “without a hitch”. ABC News out of DC reports that the first-ever nationwide test today “appeared to…
So Cliché
It’s football season, and this year’s campaign is no different than any other. Each team is going to be taking it one game at a time, giving 110%, and leaving it all on the field, hoping to come away with a victory. When the game begins, when the chips are down, if you’ve put in…
Clocks
Sometimes in life, you just have to take the bad with the good. I’ve always loved the “fall back” Sunday, where you get an hour of your life back. Who couldn’t use an extra hour!? Either another hour of sleep in the morning, or really, whatever suits your fancy! The extra hour was always especially…
Whispers
I am hearing whispers on the wind. Signs that life may return to these pages. Evidence on the horizon that this keyboard will once again freely bring forth thoughts long subdued. Could it be? Dare I hope? I do. I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill [me] completely with joy and peace…
It’s Just a Long Way Home
Steven Curtis Chapman has a new album out. It’s called Re:Creation (I think because many of the songs on the album are new versions of old songs, some are really good! Others will take getting used to…) But for now I’m not talking about the whole album. Just a song (or two). I started listening…
Realistic Expectations
It’s been a rough day. It’s been a rough season. Not sure exactly how long that extends, but right now it feels almost like it’s never been any different than the way it is now. The main reason I know that is not true is this deep yearning in me for a return to something…
Thankful
There are days that it’s incredibly hard to see the good side. Where you’re so completely overwhelmed by the crushing weight of sadness, or failure, or just plain pain that you can’t see a way out of and seems it will never end. For whatever reason, we’ve had more than our share of those around…
A Buffalo Team With Money?
I’ve been a fan of Buffalo sports teams for almost 25 years now. That’s a good long time. Many players, many coaches, many GMs, and—at least for the Sabres—a few different owners. (I’m thinking right now that maybe the Bills could use a different owner…) Near the mid-way point of last year, the Sabres were…
The Future of America: Two ways to look at it
There really are plenty of thoughts from GregsHead these days, but circumstances are still not allowing me to post them here. But, we saw this tonight and thought it was pretty cool. Worth sharing. It’s only 2 minutes long, worth watching a time or two. Enjoy.
