My sister passed this game along to me. You click the abominable snowman to get him ready, then a penguin drops from the cliff and you hit him as far as you can. Your distance is displayed with a little flag stuck through the penguin when you’re done. Click the image above for a demo.Click…

We rented VeggieTales: A Snoodle’s Tale recently from NetFlix and I can’t get the Silly Song out of my head! It’s soooo funny! It’s a couple of yuppies in their nice sweaters doing their mundane tasks in their 4 x4 sport utility vehicles. The song is great! They are quite creative those BigIdea guys… Here’s…

I just remembered I had another story I wanted to share related to my blog this morning titled, Peace. I realized as I was thinking about where I had placed my trust, that I was not what I thought I was. Now, this is not self-flagellation for past sins. I understand that to the best…

While discussing my recent post on Focus with my wife, we found ourselves discussing the importance of worship. Expressing your heart through music to God. (That is our most common understanding of “worship” these days, I’d say.) We mentioned how meaningful that has been for us at times, and just fun, too! God made music…

Christian Denomination Selector This is too funny. Had to put it up here. 🙂 Thanks Chris! (it said I was Seventh Day Adventist, by the way… followed by Assemblies of God and then Church of Christ. Go figure.) 🙂

I touched on the idea of a misplaced focus a couple of posts ago… I was then speaking of the emphasis we place on reaching the masses. The attempt to reach as many as possible as efficiently as possible, and thus the large group settings. Well, another side of the focus coin became apparent to…
