On Saturday, I had the strange experience of paying money to hurt myself. Some would call this “stupidity.” Others call it a “triathlon.” Let’s be clear here – this was no Iron Man. It was a sprint triathlon, though I’m supposing that “sprint” is just an aribitrary term and not really an expectation that you [...]

I’m a huge fan of documentaries. So far, my favorites have been about Scrabble, spelling bees, professional bowlers, and Donkey Kong. But this one? I don’t know what to do with it. It’s like a train wreck – I can’t look away.

The Church is a String Around Its Own Finger

We are forgetful. Whether it’s a set of keys, an appointment, or, umm…, the occasional child, sometimes we forget things. And our forgetfulness is a great hindrance to our faith.

Knowing that the subject could potentially open up a can of worms, it was time to tell Joshua and Andi that we’re going to have another baby. Andi said she would give him/her kisses. Joshua? Well, not so smooth…
Adult: “Guess what, guys? We’re going to have another baby in our house.”

Given that Sunday is Father’s Day, here’s the question of the day:
“Who is the greatest TV father?”

Responding in Faith to Mistakes
Posted in Theology on June 18, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I made a mistake at work this week. And by mistake, I don’t mean “Oops. I accidentally embezzled thousands of dollars.” Nothing sinful, just a mistake. But whenever you make a mistake, there are consequences.
