A new mall opened up recently close to us. What caught my attention though wasn’t all with all the trendy new stores or great restaurants. It was the billboard announcing the new shopping destination, “Where Your Wants Become Your Needs!” That tagline just floored me…

I realize that through my blog I merely let you peek in on brief moments in our day-to-day lives. Based on those short glimpses I realize it would be easy to come to some incorrect conclusions about our relationship and how we function. Here are a few things you need to know about Lisa and our relationship…

The other day coming home from church I drove by a house in our subdivision that has lots of inflatable Christmas decorations in their front yard. They weren’t inflated at the time and the wind that was blowing created an interesting visual. I turned to Lisa and asked, “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?”…

This past Friday we had some new friends over for dinner. After dinner the conversation turned to church (since he works at one and I’m starting one) and how easy it is for us to get wrapped up “church life” that we lose touch with the “real world.” It reminded me of something I read a couple of months ago that has stuck with me…

Landed here in Atlanta last night hoping for a little reprieve from the gloomy weather we’ve had recently in Indiana. Since arriving we’ve had rain, rain and more rain. After getting into my rental this morning I realized that the cigarette adapter didn’t work and that my GPS and phone that I thought were charging were both about to die. Since I have no clue where I’m at and all of my destinations are in my GPS I found the nearest Thrifty Rental to swap my car out…

Regardless of what your opinion is regarding the auto-companies bailout, there’s no denying the impact such a bailout could have on the millions who are directly or indirectly tied to the Big Three. It’s easy to cast judgment one way or another from a distance and offer opinions on solutions. It gets a little less clear the closer you are to the situation.
