Like most people, I was watching the Superbowl as much for the creative commercials as I was for the game. I was a little disappointed this year. Nothing really stood out as amazing or unique like in years past. Sure, Doritos had a couple of funny spots and The Old Spice Guy made an appearance…
I’ve titled this week’s Monday Mixtape “Sweet Letdowns” to sum up a list of songs that are beautifully morose. The first song on the list…

I came across this British commercial for the Young Directors Award. As soon as I saw it I immediately showed it to Lisa and asked, “Who does that little girl remind you of?” Without even pausing she said, “Yup, that’s Emily.”

Yesterday was a fun-filled and busy day for many families with young children and ours was no exception. We carved pumpkins, painted faces and walked around asking for candy…

I spent a lot of time thinking through my notes from Catalyst a few weeks ago. I thought that God had already finished slapping me in the face with challenging messages until I came across this video excerpt from Francis Chan’s session…

During our Fall family staycation last week we got hooked on our new family pastime: geocaching. Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online…

We had originally planned on travelling somewhere for Fall Break this past week but decided instead to save some money and stay home for a “staycation.” We talked it over with the girls and figured out where we would go and what we would do. We drove to Turkey Run for…

Back To The Future, one of everyone’s favorite movies from the 80s, is celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary this month. But did you know that Michael J. Fox was pulled in to play the main character of Marty McFly after the filming had already begun?

Last Wednesday was our third-annual Bloggers Meetup before Catalyst. It’s always fun meeting new friends and connecting with old ones. The Bloggers Meetup combined with Catalyst make the beginning of October one of my favorite times of the year…

I’ve got to be honest with you…some days I just feel like a terrible parent. Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids. But sometimes I wonder if I was sick the day they handed out the parenting manuals because…
We have been looking for ways to reach out to and serve our community as we prepare for launching our new church. We recently contacted the Westfield Fire Department and asked if we could put together an appreciation luncheon for the fire fighters as a way of saying thank you for what they do…
A couple of weeks ago over Fall Break I was able to celebrate a huge milestone with my children that they will remember for years to come. I sat down and watched the Star Wars trilogy with my children. I had been waiting for the day…
Why is watching someone get slapped so gosh-darn funny? I mean, that’s gotta be demented, right? Is there something wrong with me that I’ve had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at the sight of a good slap?
Do yourself a favor, skip the 22 minute sitcom you were going to watch on Hulu during your lunch break or later tonight and watch this instead. The illustrations and explanations make it easy to understand, plus, you’ll be able to throw around economic terms like “planned obsolescence” or “externalized costs” at your next party…
I just found out that November is Adoption Awareness Month. It’s fitting because I’ve just heard so many amazing adoption stories in recent weeks…
