Waiting on the world to change
I think John Mayer is a great artist, and he might just be the next Eric Clapton. I think he’s put out some great songs, and “Waiting on the World to Change” is one that I really enjoy. Over the last few weeks, I have been wrestling with my worldview and trying to see things [...]
Mexico 2008
In about a month and a half, I’ll be in Mexico building a home for a family that I don’t even know yet, but I dearly love. I am so looking forward to going and being part of something so fulfilling. The only drawback is that my dear wife is not able to go, so [...]
Aren’t fraternal bonds supposed to run deep?
When I was in college, I joined a fraternity. I did it because I felt that the guys were people I could see myself being lifelong friends with. I didn’t do it to automatically get a set of friends or to have a place to party. I was drawn to the promise of friendship and [...]
Top Chef, season 4
I don’t like a lot of reality shows. I’m don’t follow American Idol, Big Brother, or any of the thousand other shows out there, but I do love Top Chef. Nicole got me into it in season 2 and I’ve followed ever since. This year they’ve had some amazing chefs…and some that weren’t too impressive. [...]
I’m going to go broke
In the last two weeks or so, I have seen Iron Man, Indiana Jones, and Prince Caspian. My viewing wish list of upcoming movies include The Dark Knight, Get Smart, The Incredible Hulk and Wall-E, to name a few. I didn’t have this problem last year. Why did Hollywood choose this year to release all [...]
Loneliness
I love people. I love talking, hanging out and just being with people. It’s great. Even though I am a little on the shy side initially, I find it easy to converse and bond with almost anyone – especially students (must be due to the similar maturity level). Nicole and I have many friends, and [...]
Strange New MLB
Okay, while I am extremely happy that my Cubbies are doing well and currently reside in 1st place, this is a weird season in baseball. How are the Devil Rays (no, I don’t acknowledge the stupid name change) in first place ahead of both the Red Sox and the Yankees? How did the NL West [...]
Mind numbing
I just finished my latest class – Pauline Epistles – last night, and I have to admit that my brain is a little fried. Much like Christian Worldview, my teacher really pushed the boundaries of what we thought we knew about Paul and his letters. Travis challenged us on our beliefs, and while at times [...]
