January 22nd in GregsHead history was slightly more difficult to whittle down than some of the other days. It was not due to volume, though—only five posts. Four of the five posts are worth reading (the other is worth it if you are using WordPress for blogging…) but of the six options, I selected the…
[ThisDay] City Living… Or Not
There were not too many posts published this day in GregsHead history. In fact, there were only four total. That made selecting a favorite a bit easier, but I believe I would have chosen this particular story against most competition, anyway. Please enjoy this little anecdote from a bedtime just a couple years ago. 🙂…
[ThisDay] Both Sides of the Story
I had an intriguing idea today. “I wonder what I was thinking and writing on this day through the ten plus years I’ve been publishing stuff here? I wonder if it’s the same stuff I’m thinking in January of 2014?” Seemed like an interesting enough activity to share it here with you. (Hello, you!) For…
Stillness
Quiet can sometimes indicate trouble. (Perhaps this is most true for parents of young children?) When someone you love is quiet, it can cause you some concern. “Are you feeling okay? You seem so quiet…” Other times quiet is necessary. We must stop to process. To think. Ruminate. Cogitate. Meditate. To pray. Commune. We read…
[Football Friday] Stranger Things Have Happened…
The big news this Football Friday is that the Buffalo Bills game in Orchard Park this Sunday versus the Cincinnati Bengals… will be on TV! There were over 7,000 tickets left at the start of this week, and with the current state of panic and fear—and the ever-present dread, hopelessness, and dismay—amongst Bills fans, there…
[Football Friday] Wait… What Day Is It?
Today is actually Thursday, but since the Buffalo Bills play their weekend game tonight, my Football Friday post—a preview of the next game—will publish on a Thursday! It’s very confusing… Hopefully the BILLS will not be as confused! Though, as I heard pointed out this week, the Thursday Night Games so far this season have…
[Football Friday] Mounting Injuries, Mounting Losses?
NFL football is rough. (That’s probably obvious.) And somehow, it’s always rougher to the Buffalo Bills! I remember just a few years ago when there were seventeen (or more?) players on the season-ending Injured Reserve (IR) list! That’s a third of an NFL roster! Yikes! This year is starting off no better. Look at this…
Hope
1 Faith is being sure of what we hope for. It is being certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. Hebrews 6:19 There are days. There are weeks, months and long years where … boy, it just feels like nothing is worth…
Darkness
You know, this world is ugly. Really ugly. I don’t know if my heightened awareness of this is due to my reading The Screwtape Letters again, or maybe just the mood I’m in, or the correlated ongoing state of frequently feeling so depleted… Or maybe this is just how it is. The hatred spewed from…
Rhythms
There is a definite cyclical rhythm to life. At least, there is in mine. I am a creator. I enjoy creating things. I work with words, images, colors and designs, even code and systems. I also create with food, and a few other physical mediums. And I love to create with imagination. (Bedtimes with my…
