So, they are improving. I have to admit it, since I was the only one touting this team as the most likely to break the record for worst record in a season. Apparently it was not a fluke when they beat the Miami Dolphins 2 weeks ago. And for that, you gotta feel a little…
Fun Story
Last night we arrived a little later than scheduled at the San Dimas Wesleyan church in San Dimas, CA. We had dinner with our hosts and then went across the parking lot to unload and set up at the church. The family we are staying with has two little boys who go to sleep about…
The Freedom Of Uniqueness
When religion is characterized by sameness, when faith is franchised, when the genuineness of our experience with God is characterized by its sameness to others’ faith, then the uniqueness of God’s people is dead, and the church is lost.” I have just begun reading another book at the suggestion of a friend who now resides…
30
Today Jen turns 30. Thirty. 1 + 29. I think I used to imagine I would be old and wrinkly by then. She is not. She is more beautiful today than ever before (and I have known her since she was 12 years old!) She is more loving, wiser, lovlier in heart, more gentle, more…
They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. Perhaps you have heard this verse before? Or perhaps you have sung the song, “They will know we are Christians by our love, by our love…” It is interesting to me how many other ways we try and label…
Reading…
I am currently reading what is not only a good book, but quite interesting as well… You can find the book IN PROGRESS at JakeColsen.com. The book is being published on the internet one chapter at a time. He’s up to Chapter 9 (of 12). I just want to warn you, though I think it’s…
"Hey Cuz!"
I was just feeling grateful last night for a great family. You probably already know that I love my immediate family… Jen is by far my best friend and our kids (3 so far, working on 4) are a huge blessing from God. I can’t believe I get to be “Dad” to them!!! And you…
The Week That Was
Well, a week has gone by, and we have not really much to detail except a BUNCH of traveling! :-) Monday was our anniversary (#7) so my cousin kept our kids in the morning so we could go out for breakfast (don’t worry… we didn’t LEAVE the house till 10:30 or so…) :-) That was…
Healthcare
We keep hearing about the need for universal healthcare… that everyone should have full coverage available from the government. At our expense. At first, it sounds like a good idea… but I think the real thing is not that the government should cover the huge and rising medical costs (using our tax money, so we…
A Quick Recounting…
The reason for the large gap in blogging for me has been our amazing schedule the past week. We are always busy, but I guess this past week has been a different busy. Like, not at a computer busy. (I don’t prefer that kind of busy…) :-) Here’s a quick recap: Starting last Thursday (well,…
