Well nothing in particular to write about. We’re back from a little Christmas vacation. I usually have used all my vacation days by now but since we didn’t go to the beach in the fall I had this whole week off. We went up to Gatlinburg for a few days. This was the first time [...]
Just a quick note to say Merry Christmas everyone! This is one of the most relaxing Christmas Eves I’ve had in a while. Usually I’d be at church all day playing in the three services then come home to a ton of things to do before bedtime. This year we visited with Regina’s grand dad [...]
No time to think of my own content so here is an interesting editorial I read.
With the topic of the secularization of Christmas being the buzz lately, I found this editorial with a pretty interesting European perspective. Basically it goes into how close Christianity is to becoming the minority of Europe. Here’s a quote that [...]
Ok so this is a smaller point in the beginning of the book I’m reading but I like it. Peacock makes the analogy of most Christians have a multiple choice knowledge of their faith. What does this mean? If you give someone a multiple choice test then they can look at the offered answers, deduct [...]
Ok, so I get this email at work (ALLTEL) saying that employee giving to the United Way is down this year and they want to promote it more in this season of giving. They have it set up to automatically withdraw from our paychecks if we want to. I have to admit that this is [...]
I’m not one for linking out to other blogs just to duplicate news but you gotta see this.
You just have to just sit back and admire something like this. Bravo!
Over the summer, a group of guys I meet with all read Pilgrim’s Progress. We would then discuss our findings when we got together. The problem was that every week was too different to really keep up as a group. One week there was no time to read, while others I was able to go [...]
This a commentary from a friend of mine who is a Christ follower and an amazing jazz musician. It was spurred from discussion regarding the book Blue Like Jazz. Thanks Jeff!
Part of the non-musical appeal of jazz is the exclusivity of understanding the music at a deeper level. Only a small percentage of musicians [...]
Yep it’s that time of year again. The time where I go down in the basement for Christmas decorations or whatever reason and think to myself, “What a waste of resources.” I have this perfectly good music studio that isn’t being used for two reasons. The lack of time (or motivation) and a couple of [...]
Something I’ve tried to be aware of as a parent is modeling “Please” and “Thank you” for my kids. Do you ever notice people in lines at fast food places when they order and they say, “Yeah uh, gimme a number four with a diet Coke”? For some reason that has always stood out to [...]
