« Previous EntriesReflecting on my Father
Monday, March 31st, 2008Over the weekend, I was in sole charge of our boys while Julie was at Women of Faith. There are some things about the experience that I did fairly well, and a few that I failed miserably. But, whatever the outcome, it was time with just us, and I’ve been thinking about my own father [...]

Oh, Hillary Clinton, the Cameras WERE Rolling
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008Yesterday Marc wrote about the honesty of new governor of New York, David Paterson. He praised him for openly admitting past affairs his marriage had suffered on the part of both himself, and his wife. Later Mr. Paterson admitted he also used drugs when he was a kid. At the end of his post Marc [...]
Three Cheers for New York Governor Paterson!
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008There’s something about sin that brings with it shame. Not only shame, but also a deep desire to keep it secret. So secret that a person can go to great lengths to bury it and even come up with excuses to justify their actions to anyone who confronts them about it, even themselves.
I have things [...]
Resurrection Sunday and VeggieTales
Monday, March 24th, 2008Recently I read, in my K-Love Devotional, something I’ve never considered about the cross. Technically, I wear a weapon around my neck every day. The cross, in Jesus’ time, was used for torture and murder: nails were driven through hands and feet to affix a person for the sole purpose of a slow, painful death. [...]
It’s Friday but Sunday is Coming
Friday, March 21st, 2008Resurrection Sunday (or Easter) is just a few days away.
Something from my youth about Easter is the tradition of the basket filled with jelly beans, circus peanuts (ugh), robin’s eggs, Peeps, chocolate bunnies (almost always the traditional Palmer brand), and toys (coloring books, crayons, or just one big “main” toy), all on a bed of [...]

Silencing the Christians
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008I want to share with you a discovery I came across a couple days ago. Before I do, I feel like I should give a little explanation, and a warning.
SilencingChristians.com is hosting the broadcast for a 13 week series called “Speechless…Silencing the Christians”. The series is airing on INSP (though, I have no idea what [...]
Pork, the Other White…what did I just put in my mouth?
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008From my earliest memories to until my mid-teens, my family had been involved in the meat packing industry. My father, and then my stepfather, worked for the same man in Doniphan, Nebraska, butchering livestock and cutting and preparing the meat. Then, when I was seven, we moved to eastern Nebraska; a few months later we [...]
