Website Refresh

After helping a local church overhaul their website I thought, "Hmm... I think it's time to give my personal site a bit of a renovation." We've been snowed in today after nearly a foot of snow. Translation: a perfect time to spend some time cranking away on the site....

Back at It

Back at It

In preparation for the first post of 2015 I had several possibilities that I had mused over to start this post. Lines like, “Well, I haven’t been blogging because summer started, and then fall was busy, and then I blah, blah, blah..” Or, there is always the, “I didn’t...

Goal Momentum

One of my "bucket list" goals is to eventually run a marathon. That's 26.2 miles. Years ago I gutted out a 15 mile run and I remember mile 14 was not a pleasant experience. For some reason though, (likely the recent Illinois marathon), I've been reminded of this...

Jeans, Wounds, and Kisses

Jeans, Wounds, and Kisses

Here's a fact: I don't enjoy shopping for clothes. I enjoy new clothes and looking nice; I simply don't like the process of acquiring updated wardrobe items. Case in point: This past Friday I cleared some time to find some new jeans. I noticed that the jeans I have...

No Greater Love

No Greater Love

About three months ago my daughter asked if she could hang a bulletin board in her room. It quickly became a repository for all sorts of odds and ends. Clippings from magazines, notes from her friends, and sticky notes that contain some sort of cryptic code that only...

My Ex-Girlfriend is really Hot?

My Ex-Girlfriend is really Hot?

This past weekend we had a group from Ministry Architects come to our church to engage in a very detailed consultation of our Family Ministries. They had an incredible amount of wisdom to share with our church. While I’m not...
