Friday, February 15th, 2008A few months ago Marc and I rented a movie we had never heard of, called Sweet Land. We were in the mood for a nice, simple movie with a good plot; we found it in this show. In fact, when we watched, I planned to write about it for a Valentine’s Day post. Then, [...]

Love Covers Over a Multitude of Sins
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. – 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)
That is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. It’s a verse I’ve always liked. It’s short and easy to remember, so it’s always stayed with me. But for a long time it was just a [...]

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008A Short Story for Valentine’s Day
It must have started because, as a little girl, I think she felt starved for attention. I’m not sure if she really was, but she felt like it. She went to school. Then came home to a big house, where she was by herself for many hours. Her Mom and [...]
Go Ahead and Splurge on the Roses, Jerk
Monday, February 11th, 2008Valentine’s Day is coming in a few days. Ah, Valentine’s Day. When people make a conscious effort to express their love for each other (because any other day of the year isn’t special or commercial). It’s also a day that schoolchildren all over are forced to make stupid Valentine “mailboxes”. And then they sort through [...]
God Can’t Exist If Suffering Does
Friday, February 8th, 2008I am reading The Case for Faith by Lee Strobel, a former atheist who is now a Christian. In the book, Lee examines what he considered the eight major objections about God. He responded to these questions as he did in his job as a journalist, by interviewing people he felt had distinguished themselves as [...]

Hey, Brother, Can You Spare an Opinion?
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008I’ve noticed recently that the things I’ve written here are either subjects dug up from the past, things in my immediate bubble of influence, and spiritual topics in which I end up ranting and getting off-topic. Julie tends to keep more in touch with current events and I was wondering what happened to me.
A few [...]
Preschool Project: Decorating an Alphabet
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008Our oldest son is 4 years old. Life with a preschooler can be interesting. I’ve found it moves the most smoothly if I keep him busy with projects. Every afternoon we work on some kind of “school”. We have spent a lot of time on his alphabet and numbers. Last week we decided to do [...]
Happy Late Groundhog Day
Monday, February 4th, 2008Saturday was Groundhog Day and we celebrated like we always do, watching the movie Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, Chris Elliott, and Stephen Tobolowsky. We would like to share some videos we found on YouTube, starting with the trailer, and the last one being the many run-ins with Ned “the Head” Ryerson.
