By the time I got home from lifegroup Wednesday night (have I told you about my wonderful lifegroup?) I had 5 offers for help with transportation–everything from a tiny car (we could strap our kids to the roof) to a ginormous 15 passenger van. Before I got to the office Read more…
I thought I was having a bad day. Up at 6:15. Seriously. Had to bounce from Men’s Fraternity to go speak to some PSU seniors (SR EXIT) about finding a church after college at 8–without my daily omelet! During my talk with PSU seniors I got a call from Kim. Her van Read more…
One of my top strengths, at least according to George Gallup, is CONNECTEDNESS. George and his buddies would say that “People strong in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.” Case in Read more…
If you’re like me you have a stack of books waiting to be read, taunting you from your nightstand, mocking you from the bookshelf of doom, talking about you behind your back as you leave the bathroom… Let ’em go. If you haven’t read them by now, it’s too late. Read more…

Encouragement can come from unlikely places. I made a new friend this week. Paul was bidding on a guitar I sold on ebay. (My purple G&L will soon have a new home.) The weird thing is that Paul lives in Russia. He sent me a note asking if I would Read more…
here’s the first clip. I’ll post the others as they are released! I’m pumped up about this year’s city-serve! My kids are already asking what we’re going to do this year. Last year we cleaned out all the trash that winter brought into the creek down the road from us. Read more…
this is being typed–against my will–on my wife’s prehistoric PC. My MacBook Pro is at the office, where I left it to run a backup. I had no idea that it would take this long… First practice of the Screamin’ Green Eagles went way better that I expected. I talked Read more…
I recently started watching the first season of Lost whilst I run on the ol’ treadmill in the basement. I’m not sure why I didn’t get into it the when it first aired. I think it must have been on while we were at XStream. I’m loving it! Almost every Read more…
