Like many of you, I’ve been sucked into the vortex of social networking.  Facebook, Twitter, Friend Feed, LinkedIn — I’m on all of them.
In fact, just click on these links to connect with me:  Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed.
I rarely notice the ads on Facebook, but for some reason the one to the left stuck [...]

The Drop-Off

My family and I just returned from a week at the beach.  We’ve been going to Orange Beach, AL for years and I still can’t get comfortable with the fact that I’m going to Alabama for vacation.  No offense to any of my readers from Alabama.  It’s a fine state, just not the [...]

We don’t say, “I’m genetically pre-disposed to mild depression,” or “I haven’t exercised in a while and I spend a lot of time watching TV,” instead, we say, “I’m disappointed because I don’t make enough money and my boss is mean to me.” And yet, someone in the very same circumstances seems much [...]

Just Do Something

By Greg Primm
I’ve written about waiting on God before.  In that post I made the conclusion that “if I give up control of the end, if I release to God the final chapter and live obedient to him daily, he’ll take me right where I need to be.”
I still agree with that . . . [...]

When my kids were younger, they had a jack-in-the-box.  Not the hamburger, the toy.  You probably had one growing up, too.  It’s the box with the door on top where the scary-looking clown pops out after you turn the handle (just for fun, check out the video here).  I remember watching my daughters play [...]

My lawn is looking really good this year.  It’s green, weed-free, and it feels great to walk on.  The last couple of weeks, I’ve felt an odd twinge of pride as I pull into the neighborhood and see the green blanket of sod in the yard.  It’s only taken two years, hundreds of [...]

For the third year in a row, my family dragged me, kicking and screaming, to a small camp that our church puts on each Memorial Day for kindergaren, 1st, and 2nd graders and their families.  Each year, I try to weasel my way out of it.  I make every excuse in the book, [...]

Are You Listening?

It usually happens a couple of times per week:  I ask my oldest daughter, Allison, to do something and she says - “ok”.  Several minutes go by, but she doesn’t move.  So I ask her again, using my DAD voice — stern but not angry.  Another “ok”, but still no movement.  Finally, I [...]

Rehearsed Insanity

By Patrick Kuhlers
I lack trust.
There is no other way to put it.
If I take a step back and look at my life, I feel like I have built it on security and normalcy. The world is built on that. We are told to get a good job and a 401k. All of those things are good, [...]
