Five Things for February
1. Today, we are taking the kids to feed the homeless. I am glad they want to do good things for others and I am thankful that our church supports this ministry. 2. So far, I have not done much toward accomplishing my goal of writing more this year. It is still early. 3. I…

Let Them Eat Cake
I watched the inauguration yesterday. Along with the good cheer and good will that comes with such pomp and circumstance, I remain proud of our great country. In much of the world, leaders enter office and leave office with a struggle, a bullet, or a revolution. Certainly, our young nation has had its fair share…

Happy New Year!
It’s hard to believe that another year has moved into history. Happy New Year to everyone. I hope 2009 brings you all the good you seek. I have to say, 2008 was a strange year for me. Every year presents challenges and every year brings new joy and new lessons. As I have said many…

Another Day, Another Theology Quiz
So, I found another theology quiz while taking a break from a design job. This one is more precise than the other one. It’s interesting how some of these rankings have turned around as I have grown over the last few years. Let me know how you do. Here are my results: You Scored as…

Belief-O-Matic
I took the belief-o-matic quiz over at Beliefnet.com again to see how it would judge me based on my answers to their questions. Although I find the questions a bit convoluted in the sense that there are no answers to some questions that exactly reflect my thoughts, I found the results interesting. 1. Mainline to…

Aerosmith, A Yeti, and A Stitch
As I mentioned earlier, I spent the week after Thanksgiving in Disney and it brought back several memories from my childhood, when I last visited the Magic Kingdom. some of the rides and attractions from then are gone, some (perhaps) should be, and many new things have been added. As I walked around with my…

Damn Lies and Statistics (as the saying goes)
My liberal friend John forwarded a funny article earlier from USA Today. Granted, it was not intentionally funny but the premise of it was so flawed that I had to laugh – until I read the comments and realized that some of our more self-righteous citizens actually bought the idea. In short, the article claimed…

Disney Thoughts
We returned from our first trip to Disney in Orlando last night. We left early Friday morning after Thanksgiving with my parents and my sister’s family. I don’t know where to begin to try to blog about the experience, but I will begin with a few thoughts about the people, places, and things that stick…

Thanksgiving
I got to see a lot of my family today and tomorrow I am taking my kids to Disney. Check back here for more on that trip soon. I’ll try to blog from there if I can. Today, I took some time to reflect on things in my life and I am grateful for that…

Election 2008
As I sit here watching John McCain give his congratulations to Barack Obama, I think of the life he led for this country. He may not have been your choice, but you cannot doubt that he loves America. Half of the country will not be happy at the outcome of this election but I am…
