A friend has been including me in his emergent church dialogues and critiques, which has been enlightening. I was able to engage Rick McKinley today for a few minutes about postmodernism and the like, which was enlightening as well.
But, no movement is complete without retractors. And no retractors have credence without some great [...]
Burnt Tongues

“The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.” James 3:6
Well, tonight I was doing the necessary cleaning before the great room rearrangement this weekend [...]
CAPS LOCK
Posted in Rants on 2007 October 30 | 1 Comment »
I was searching for something on Craigslist today when I ran across some extremely annoying posts. What was annoying wasn’t what they were selling, it was how they typed it. All in CAPS!
Why do people insist on displaying their ignorance of the English language and their own personal stupidity by typing all in [...]

Tracy and I went to her doctor’s appointment to day to hear the baby’s heartbeat. I had the digital voice recorder from work, hoping to have some audio to post up here.
We were listening and just as we heard what sounded like the baby’s heartbeat there was a small “thump”, and the heartbeat was gone. [...]

It’s amazing the things old friends remember of you that you have long forgotten. Just today I was reminiscing with an old roommate of mine, and he asked me if I remembered the time that Multnomah Bible College burnt to the ground.
Early in the morning on this fine spring day back in 1996, my [...]
Greggory’s First Birthday
Posted in Family on 2007 October 24 | 1 Comment »
Well, Greggory is 13 months old. September 17th one year ago- time flies.
His birthday party we did the typical “give him a freaking cake and let him devour it.” He ate it somewhat and enjoyed it, but he didn’t get a nap that day so he was tired and starting crying after a [...]

Well, this begins the blog for me and my family. I will most likely use this for updating everyone on family news and the likes.
So, what would people (both of you) like to see on my blog? I’ll make sure and tell my wife to include whatever it is you want.
