Amazing New Witnessing Technique!

I was driving through a parking lot over the weekend and came across these two vans parked a couple of spaces from each other.

I imagine they were inside the restaurant leaving a 5% tip and a christian tract for the waiter after complaining about their poorly prepared food and gossiping about the Jones from church.
Ok…that [...]

World’s Best Grandparents

My parents came down to visit us and help us pack this past week. I’m so fortunate to have such awesome parents who love hanging out with us and their grandkids.
On Thursday Emily, my youngest, had an earache and was running a temperature.
This is what she looked like before the Tylenol kicked in …

…and this [...]

Why Do You Stay?

I’m feeling the love this morning. Maybe it’s the fact that over 70 of you have subscribed to this craziness I call a blog. Or maybe it’s the fact that I’ve had over 6,500 hits on my blog since it went online back in September. Maybe it’s because of how much fun I have writing [...]

How Big Is Your Beard?

A new friend on Twitter posted a link to this and I just have to share this with you.
Have you heard of the World Beard & Moustache Championships? According to Wikipedia it is a “biennial competition in which men with beards and moustaches display length, highly-styled facial hair.” The first championship of its type [...]

The Smartest People Have the Most to Learn

The purpose of today’s post is two-fold. The first is to tell you about what looks to be a great movie coming out in April called Smart People. At first glance it looks like some of the movies we’ve been seeing from Fox Searchlight in recent years (Juno, Little Miss Sunshine). I’m putting this one [...]

Last Song You Listened To

Quick…what was the last song you listened to?
Take 10 seconds and let me know the last song/artist you listened to on your iPod, CD player or radio (TV, movies & commercials don’t count).
But be honest. If I caught you listening to Celine Dion in your car when you thought no one was listening, it’s time [...]

The Church Still Rocks!

It’s the Monday mornings after Easter that remind me why I love the Church.
In spite of all the scandals, hypocrisy, and legalism that exists in churches today I am in love with the church. Sure, there are plenty of things not to love, but I’m learning to look at the Church through Christ’s eyes and [...]

Making No Sense of The Easter Story

I read a column this morning by Garrison Keillor (host of Prairie Home Companion) in the Opinion section of the Journal Gazette. I don’t know why but it really jumped out at me. Keillor paints a very real picture of someone who is struggling with their faith.
Take a few minutes to read this and remember [...]

High Fives & Pass the Pigs

I love my girls. They both had today today off of school for Good Friday so I slept in a little and played with them this morning. They’re so much fun.
Emily, my 4 year old, has this thing right now with always wanting to play this game,
Give me five…on the side…up high…down low…TOO SLOW!
It’s really [...]
