Once again we have striked out in obtaining a babysitter for tonight, so I will be staying home, as usual (I rarely ever go anywhere without kids in toe!) and Paul will be going solo to support our friend Jason and his band tonight….“rock on Jason ;-)” I am so tired of not being able…
Read MoreFun with spam
I got this spam (well, I seem to get it regularly). I have no idea who in the world would ever be able to understand it … it must be secret code, or a magic incantation or just stupid spam trash. PCAVLUXMCVrop elembi alievi ltrana eriial iagec bren um tramx diis raia ex$3 a a$1…
Read MoreA guy at work bought a car out of the paper. Ten years later, BAM! Herpes.
I read this while sitting on the couch. To think people are coming here, not just to a temporary stay till their house is ready to inhabit, but here to make a new life. To start over. With nothing in their pockets. No trucks following behind with their stuff. I pray God will use us…
Read MorePictures are better than words, because some words are big and hard to understand
Improvements are on the way to this little site (trying to figure out this RSS feed thing — so very close). I like using this site as my guinea pig for other projects … Idea; rather than point the finger – ask yourself what you can do. (and I was correct about the review; it…
Read MoreFast Forward
Perhaps it is too soon to start crying about Elliott going off to school everyday, like Abigail is, but perhaps once that time comes (next fall) I’ll be over it and smiling brightly as my little boy proudly tosses his backpack over his shoulders and joins his sister for the ride to school and the…

Shortly there should be a review I wrote of the newest Death Cab for Cutie album (on RelevantMagazine.com. I’m fairly certain that people will not be happy with my review (because I don’t out-and-out love the album). BUT I do like Plans, but I don’t feel it’s great, or even on par with Transatlanticism. I…
Read MoreSo what can I do?
What can I do when gas prices go to $4? I don’t think I’ll stop driving (although working at home helps tremendously). I can’t go and buy a hybrid car (as much as I might like to). I can’t walk or ride a bike to places (not in a city). I guess one thing that…
Read MoreI’m not afraid to admit it
I pee’d on a church. Well, not “on” a church, but in the bushes, next to a church. But, let me start from the beginning. I have a weekly tradition of going to the Dubliner with Jared and Jason at 4 on Fridays. Typically I’ve have 2 pints of Guinness and smoke my pipe (I’ve…
Read MoreIt Can’t Get Much Better Than This
It\’s been a summer full of changes and I have been blessed beyond belief. It is funny how I am surprised by God\’s goodness; why am I surprised?! I believe God is good, right? Well, I guess I’m surprised by the way He shows His goodness to us in ways we could have never planned…
Read MoreStuttering in our steps
Days upon days pile on each other, until eventually there is a mountain of things past and little to show for the effort except sullen eyes and stuttering footsteps. This last weekend we had a tremendous time with our friends Kim and Jason at Caesars Creek on the lake. The kids had a blast. Got…
