OK, Adam I’ll play your silly little game. Looks like we have Janet to blame for this. 5 interesting things about me… I once played Little Michael in our middle school production of Peter Pan. I had to wear red footie pajamas on stage in front of everyone. Thankfully, I have no pictures like Adam [...]

Worship with no music?

Today I had to drive up and back to Chicago. So I loaded up a bunch of podcasts for the drive. The first one in the list was a Mark Driscoll lecture called Continuous Worship: Idolatry. Listening to it I was reminded a lot of the class that Ben Whipple taught during the KSBC summer [...]

A good friend of ours is going to South Africa to teach for (at least) two years. I helped her get a website setup as she’s now started the process of raising funds and also for her to use while she’s over there. The site is pretty basic so far but now that’s it’s ready, [...]

On the right side of this blog there is now a box labeled “Stuff I’ve read recently”. I started using the shared news bin feature of FeedDemon. So while reading my feeds if I think something is worth sharing I’ll add it to that feed. The box on the right will always show the last [...]

The 250 GB drive arrived today. The Tivo is now better than ever with about 280 hours of recording time. I’m sure you all were wondering.
