“At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree On that beautiful, scandalous night you and me Were atoned by his blood, and forever washed white On that beautiful, scandalous night” Lyrics from a popular worship song some years back now. We heard the song again this past weekend at an event where we were also singing. So, this morning, I…

Mowing
I mowed the lawn today. I actually really, really enjoy that. It’s a definite change from what I normally do. It’s solitude. I usually listen to an audio book on the iPod as I do it, so my mind is engaged. (or, at times, silence is preferred, and that too is a wonderful break.) And…
And Now… The Exiciting Conclusion.
Well, you may have noticed that yesterday’s story had a sort of abrupt conclusion. That’s because I wrote the last two or three paragraphs while running back and forth to the bathroom. You see, when you have a tooth pulled, there is some amount of bleeding that occurs. (WARNING: if you don’t like stories about…
It’s Gone.
I sit here, a bit in shock after the amazingly fast tooth removal I just witnessed. Actually, that part sort of amazed me as well. I figured when they yank something out of your tooth that they would have to knock you out. Nope. Just a bit of novocaine administered by an aggressive, experienced (and…
Toothless
The hour is fast approaching when I shall bid farewell to a tooth whose end came far too soon. A mere 30 years, minus a few before popping out. But, now beyond hope, it must be removed from my head. And since this blog is called “Greg’s Head”… well, figured this tidbit was blog-worthy. 1:30pm…
Random Insight
While cleaning out the car this morning I realized: I really love to do things for other people, even at great cost to me… except when it’s expected. (Do I need to work on that?) 🙂
Information Exchange
I learned a lot this weekend. I think that was the goal, but it seemed like the stuff I was learning would have been considered peripheral. To me, it seemed important. From the previous post, you know that I had an eye opening moment of seeing how much I am made to reflect God’s variety…
Sameness
My wife and I are spending the next two days with several hundred other homeschoolers from the state of NY. We even shed our parental responsibilities for those days (thanks to great friends and Grandma!), so as to focus completely on the acquisition of knowledge and supplies for schooling our children at home. As we…
CH??CH
The marquee in front of a local church reads: CH??CH WHAT’S MISSING? U R! JOIN US FOR WORSHIP It at least gets a chuckle from me every time we pass. 🙂 You gotta love those clever little sayings on church marquees across the nation… But yesterday, it made sense to me. It wasn’t just a…
Competition
The NBA playoffs are on my television right now. Along with highlights from the latest LPGA tournament stop. Before that there were selected highlights (if you can call them that) from various MLB games. We are a society that loves sports, loves competition. And not only at the professional level. Today there was some fairly…
