Leaving a Christian Family Legacy
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008Monday I went to my uncle’s funeral. Marc was not able to go, so I took our two kids and rode across the state with two of my brothers. Sitting at my uncle’s funeral, I was reminded of my family heritage. Part of our heritage is dying at the generations and times change, but it’s [...]
Olympics 2008: What I Learned from Michael Phelps
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008A week and a half ago I did not know who Michael Phelps was. I didn’t know he was a swimmer. I didn’t watch the 2004 Olympics, so I had never seen him swim. This Olympics I have seen all of his races. He amazes me. His story inspires me. It’s been a long summer; [...]
Ted.com: David Gallo Shows Footage of Amazing Sea Creatures
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Yesterday a friend of mine sent me one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen. It was on a site called Ted.com. I’d never heard of the site, or organization before. So I headed to their About TED page to see what they are all about. Here’s a little info from there:
TED stands [...]
Super Mario Marathon for Child’s Play Raises over $11,000
Monday, June 30th, 2008This past weekend was one of the most awesome events in gaming and it caught most of us unaware until the last minute. Three friends got together to play seven Super Mario games all the way through. You might think, “So what? That’s not such a big deal.” They also played them nonstop and in live streaming video on their site to raise money for Child’s Play.
Faith Video
Friday, June 27th, 2008My brother sent me a link this week to one of the most inspirational videos I’ve seen in a long time. It’s about a two legged dog named Faith. Faith’s prognosis from the vet was not good. But her family was determined to help her. Their dedication created a dog who became a lot more self sufficient then anyone would’ve expected. And the video shows how happy she is as well. The family talks about how God sent them Faith to help minister to them after a horrible time for their family.
George Carlin and Facing Eternity
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008I didn’t know Mr. Carlin. I didn’t know his personal life. All I can really know is what he chose to reveal publicly. If he was really the bitter skeptic he revealed himself to be, I’m sad that he left this world in that state. Last night, at a Bible study, someone made the comment along the lines of, “What do you think his reaction was when he found out?” Found out, meaning found out God is real.

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008The brother and sister in the group Selah lost young children in the last several weeks. On May 21st Steven Curtis Chapman lost his daughter, Maria. The families of Selah and Steven Curtis Chapman could really us our prayers!
Nicole C. Mullen
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Ok, I love her, I do. She is one of my favorite singers. I have seen few people with the stage presence this womon carries. The first time I saw her in concert was during Women of Faith in 2007. She had everyone off their feet, dancing and singing at the top of their lungs. [...]
