Thought this was pretty funny. Especially 83-year-old Joe Paterno at the end :-)
Breaking News: Dick Jauron is GONE!
I really can’t believe they did this! It should have been done long ago. That was obvious to most Bills fans. But I really can’t believe they actually pulled the trigger. Dick Jauron was “relieved of his coaching duties” today. Amazing. Can’t wait to see what is next… it has to be better!!! Short link…
On Restructuring Large Government
Another quote from the book I am currently reading, this time referencing several (failed) attempts (or non-attempts) to restructure an overly large, lethargic, unproductive government. This quote is regarding an attempt in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan: “The Grace Commission,” Created by Ronald Reagan This commission was tasked to work “like tireless bloodhounds” looking for…
The Ultimate Showdown?
It has been a dismal season for my favorite professional sports franchise. (It was actually kind of difficult to label them “professional” just now…) There are some reasons beyond likely their control (an insane amount of serious injuries to some of their best players) but overall they continue their bumbling ways. It will be surprising…
Blessed Are Those…
But happy are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God.Psalms 146:5 (NLT) At our home school group yesterday, a friend of ours spoke of the people he had met and is currently helping in Sierra Leone, one of whom is a 10-year-old boy named…
Sleep Police
It’s been a long stretch of early wakings and late beddings in the Campbell home recently. For some reason bedtimes have been consistently pushed back and for other reasons the kiddos have been rising earlier than normal. This makes for grumpy kids, many bad interactions throughout the day, tired Mom, and not as fun days…
Suggested Reading: Between Two Kingdoms
Joe Boyd is a friend of ours from college, and today he announced that his book, Between Two Kingdoms is available for pre-order, and I thought I might spread the word for him here at GregsHead.net as well. Joe is currently employed as a teaching pastor at the Vineyard church in Cincinnati. But he also…
The Role of Government in Charity
Check this out… long quote from a book I just picked up from our library. I read this part with Jen last night and we both thought it was pretty astounding. In 1887, Congress passed a bill appropriating money to Texas farmers who were suffering through a catastrophic drought. These days, that funding would not…
Kids Not Flushing? Try Paying Them.
We are trying something new in our house this week. We have six people in training here, ages 10 and under. One of the problem areas currently is the toilet. Finding ourselves quite tired of finding a toilet full of … stuff… we instituted a new policy. (Nothing else has seemed to work so far,…
Serious Discussions
After seeing her Mom crying while listening to the Beauty Will Rise album in the van yesterday, Kirstie seemed to be the most affected by the story of a five year old girl going to heaven. (Perhaps because she is also five years old herself?) She told me about it when they got home, and…
