Something

So I’ve been puttering around here waiting for inspiration to hit so that I’d have something interesting to write. And I decided that I’m tired of waiting. The analogy of a million billion* monkeys in a room typing away at typewriters, the odds are one of them will write something from Hemingway** kind of came [...]

Easter “Lite”

Back in December, our worship minister resigned to pursue other opportunities. He had a bunch of responsibilities in his worship ministry role including Christmas and Easter plays/concerts/productions. His resignation came after the Christmas concert was finished and it didn’t really hit me how much he set the tone for these two holidays until we got [...]

Is that Global Warming in your pocket or…

I am watching the local news this morning.  The news crawler at the bottom of the screen states, “this has been the coldest winter in the United States since 2001 according to scientists at the national climactic data center”.  Then that is followed by, “it is also the 54th coldest winter in the United States since national [...]

The Big One

And Nashville’s weather is best described as a clock that’s five minutes behind. We get real summer weather just as summer should be winding down. [...]

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Sunday morning in Bible class, our teacher wrote an algebraic equation on the board to illustrate a point he wanted to make about studying the Bible. DB and I have been attending a class that is comprised mostly of a more “mature” demographic. The first few murmurs upon seeing the equation were of the, “I [...]

Snippets from our week

GMan from the backseat:
“Calm down!”
“Who needs to calm down sweetie?” I ask.
“My tummy is being frustrating and I’m telling it to calm down!”
Apparently a good tummy scolding is much more effective than Pepto.

JBelle to her father:
“I want Clinton to win…wait, no I want Obama to win!”
“Why’s that?” he asks.
“Because I want to be the first [...]
