God’s Timing is Perfect
For a while I’ve been feeling unsettled at work. I have felt God prodding me that I needed to make a change, to do something different. I have applied for positions within the company that I thought God had prepared me for only to not get an offer. It’s been rough. It's been disheartening. [...]
In Memoriam
This week we also lost Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon. Please pray for their friends and family as they deal with their passing. Both will be missed.
Thank You Michael Jackson
The world lost Michael Jackson yesterday. It seemed to be the only thing anyone could talk about last night. It is sad and unexpected. I firmly believe that he is my generation’s Elvis. Michael’s influence is all over the place. If you like music videos – thank Michael. Thriller, Billy Jean, Beat It – in [...]
Back Home Again In Iowa
We are back in Des Moines to celebrate Nicole’s mom’s 60th birthday. The last time were here was October 2007. We don’t get back to Iowa very often, and it’s even rarer to get to Des Moines. So, we will enjoy it while we can. I hope this party goes well. A good many people [...]
Eugene Cho on Jon & Kate – “If He Was Their Pastor”
I read this blog by Eugene today, and it is really good. And really, really convicting. In my last post, I vented about the situation, but I feel I was a little harsh. I gave some thoughts, but they were not really constructive. I am sorry for that. It took Eugene's loving approach to show [...]
Jon & Kate plus 8
“The show MUST go on!!” – Kate Gosselin I don’t watch the show, but America can’t escape the situation. It’s on TV all the time, and when I am waiting to checkout, the headlines scream at you. They’re having affairs!! They’re being investigated by the state of Pennsylvania. Jon is apartment hunting in New [...]
Famous? Why?
I try not to watch too much reality TV, other than So You Think You Can Dance and Top Chef. I don't find it too interesting. And it boggles my mind that people become celebrities from these shows. I can't seem to escape the show on NBC I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! It's always [...]
Mexico 2009
In less than a month, 58 people from 2 states and 3 churches will set up camp in Tijuana, Baja California, for the purpose of building 3 homes. We will come together to serve people we have never met, but love. We will become one unit…one body, if you will. New friendships will be formed, [...]
25 and counting
Well, I have hit the 25 pound mark in weight lost, and I feel good. I am seeing improvement in my stamina, my strength, and recovery. I can actually run 2 miles or so without stopping! My clothes fit better…well, for the most part. I have to take my dress pants in to get them altered, [...]
Consistency
I go through these times when I really want to blog…but I don’t. I get this idea in my head…and then wait a couple of days before deciding to blog about it. When I start to write, I decide that it’s no longer relevant and give up on it. Then I find that it’s [...]
