I recently came across this trailer, and it is intriguing to me. There is much in this two minute video that I have also wondered, pondered, questioned. (But I also have to ponder how much can one really learn from Mike Seaver? Sorry, Mr. Cameron…) 🙂 Inevitable barriers to communication aside, this really does look…
A Birthday Party
Yesterday was a special day in our home. February 25th is not a date we celebrate annually, but in the year 2012, it was a day we celebrated our oldest daughter Kirsten. It was a day that she has been waiting for—quite literally—for years. It was her first, real, official, honest-to-goodness birthday party! (And it…
[From The Archive] Distorted View of God?
I re-discovered this post recently via a few related links from something else I had been writing. I really can’t recall how I got there, but as it might have done for you, the title grabbed my attention. I wondered, Now what was I thinking here… Turns out it was one of my more favorite…
Disappointment
Everywhere I turn these days it seems I am dealing with disappointment. Failure. Unachieved goals, unmet expectations. Nothing is going the way it is supposed to, or like it used to… One disappointment after another. And I’m not just talking about being let down by other people. In fact, I think the disappointments that affect…
Lord, Save Us From Your Followers
Being a fan of documentaries, and, having many thoughts on the nature and condition of the church, I was intrigued enough by the title and description of the movie above to click the play button on a recent visit to Hulu.com. As the video began, I wasn’t entirely sure which “side” was being presented. I…
Education
I’ve had education on my mind again recently. There are certainly many ideas that word conjures up… some good, some bad. But I think we might have a skewed—or even wrong—understanding of it. As you may have read in yesterday’s post (and noticed from the time of day of today’s post), I am focusing on…
Working
Time to write has been lessened a bit these days as work demands have increased for a variety of reasons. Definitely something to be thankful for when stories of unemployment rates frequent the pages of news sources. And I am grateful. I’m grateful that I have this job that allows me to work from home….
Strange Things People Search For
It’s always fascinating to me to see the various ways people find this website. First, of course, are direct visits: people using bookmarks or typing in “gregshead.net” into their browser’s address bar. Then, I know that the main referrer of visitors to GregsHead.net is Facebook.com. Some of that is from links shared by others, some…
Letters To God
The reviews of Letters To God are either glowing, or not kind. And, I can see where most of them are coming from. In some ways this movie was pretty hokey. Some of the acting was bad. Some of the story was a tad unbelievable. Some of the “Christian” part seemed a bit too forced….
[From The Archive] Super Sucker Fish
It’s time for another trip to the Archive! This time, it’s the quite recent past—June of 2010. One very hot night during that summer, after returning to our home after a few very hot days away visiting friends, we discovered a sight—and smell—that will stick with us for quite some time! Super Sucker Fish! is…
