Disappearing Act

Where o’ where have my blog post gone?

              Did they go to the ocean blue?

Or, perhaps, the post fled to the northern mountains in which dwells the dwarfs of legend?

Do you believe me?

sigh.

I wouldn’t as well.

Truth be told, I escaped to a small mountain inn with my [...]

A Thousand Questions on Good Friday

Friday evening – Good Friday nonetheless – we watched a few videos from the 2008 Re:Form conference about the churches response to human trafficking and the environmental decline.

At the end of one of the sessions, the speaker showed the Willow Creek "A Thousand Questions" video. If you have not seen this video, [...]

Easter Seder

If you are confused by the title – knowing that Passover was last Wednesday and Easter was yesterday – that’s ok. We are confusing people.

In a nut shell (walnut), we decided that instead of a having a “traditional” Easter service – we would host a Passover Seder for entire church on Easter Sunday. [...]

Easter Egg Decoration Contest

Must use office supplies…. that was the only guidelines for yesterday's Easter Egg Decoration Contest at work.

The results where…umm…interesting.

This is my creation – a "egg man protecting global trademarks". No one liked it… [@more@]

Doctrinal Differences

Following links is a dangerous – kind of like walking out of your door: you never know where you are going to end up.

A few days ago I followed a link posted on one of my favorite webcomics. The link led to a fantasy author – whose books I have read and enjoyed– [...]

The Dark Knight

If you haven’t seen the Dark Knight – I would recommend renting it.

Why?

The film does an amazing job at highlighting the different angles and choices behind real life ethical situations. When faced with a choice, do we lower our morals for the “greater good”? Or do we stay firm and possible [...]

Finding Your Heart Instrument

T-Bone. In big white letters across the side of my dark blue High School letter jacket.

Nope – I wasn’t a rap star and while I loved beef steaks, that wasn't the point.

The words were in reference to the fact I played both the trombone and the tuba. It’s kind of funny [...]

Disproving the Big Bang Theory

Off and on over the years I have read some literature about black holes, expanding universe and theory of relativity. Strange I know….but it’s really cool stuff – especially some of the newer discoveries, which, I’m sorry to say, I have not kept up on seeing that I have been diving into theology more [...]

Funny Ozy…Funny Times

That cat… what else can I say?

Every night we lock the kittens up in the spare room and bathroom so that they will go to sleep and not destroy the house.

One evening this week as we were getting ready for bed, Ozy decided to start playing with her little stuff mouse [...]

4:33AM?!! You Got To Be Joking!!!

The war is on!

My eyes popped open this morning at 4:33AM – wide awake and ready to take over the world. My body, on the other hand, rolled over and tried to tell my eyes to shut up and sleep.

A little bit later, the alarm clock decided to join the fray [...]
