A Little Background…As we approached our first anniversary, life was a whirlwind of new things. Not only were we celebrating the first year of our marriage, we were also expecting our first baby! He was definitely planned, expected, and greatly anticipated. We were a bit surprised at how early he was coming into our family,…
Life With God
Control vs. Responding
Not long ago I mentioned that something was stewing in Ye Old Greg’s Head… and indeed it has been. Head, heart, you name it. It seems that many places I turn these days the following thoughts pop in for a visit. Sometimes short, sometimes longer… but seeming to weave their way through a bunch of…
There’s The Steeple… Here’s The Church – AUDIOBOOK!
I finally have posted the first chapter of the audio version of the book I published last year, There’s The Steeple… Here’s The Church! I may have mentioned this here before, but if I did not, I’m sure I explain it on the page I just linked you to. The plan is to record and…
Rules vs. Relationship
At the home of some good friends the other night, my son Ian told our hosts that Alex didn’t like something (I forget what) because he doesn’t like rules… “just like Dad.” :-) That gave our friends a little chuckle (maybe partly because they know it’s true!) and initiated a brief conversation about the need…
God & Money
Here’s what we read this morning… can anyone make sense of this for me? Jesus seems to be saying, use money like the world does, so you’ll have a reward in eternity… but, you can’t serve God & money… still trying to figure out what he meant here… Luke 16:1-13Jesus said to his disciples: A…
New Tabs & Jesus
Hi folks. It’s going to be pretty busy work-wise around here this week. I’ll post to the blog when I get a chance, but I think I might mostly be doing some clean up and re-organizing. :-) You’ll notice the new tabs just above the main content of the pages… I thought I would take…
The Shack – Completed
I think I have mentioned a few times the book I was reading (and finished last night) The Shack? I know I did at least once. Well I finally finished it and though it came extremely highly recommended, it did not disappoint! I was impressed. :-) Usually such high praise as it received can only…
Interesting Coincidence
We found a neat little podcast from NASA called “Ask An Astronomer” that is definitely very cool for the kiddos. (Mom & Dad like it too!) They are little three minute answers to some big questions regarding things in the sky. Today we watched a couple: one about lunar eclipses, and one about solar eclipses….
Our Only Rule Book
Inspired by recent readings, hearings and various thinkings floating through GregsHead, I have thought again about our push for being right. For knowing the truth and letting others “have it”. I read a column this morning by a local radio talk show guy who was certainly convinced that he had the “right” answer for what…
Stewing
There’s some stuff stewing in Greg’s Head this week… perhaps a bit longer… about two different ways of approaching life. This common theme seems to be running through my head, a thread of thought that permeates many conversations, events, and other happenings. Basically it comes down to whether we attempt to control our surroundings (including…
