I am always surprised by the things God does. How He provides. How He speaks. How He. . . . However, when I look back over my life, I see His consistency in all things. He is always faithful to provide. He is always speaking. He is always working, loving, guiding, intervening. . . He…

Chores…..Because or So?
“It’s the difference between saying ‘I’m doing this because…’ or ‘I’m doing this so…’” I heard the words coming out of my mouth but hadn’t really even processed them yet. Miranda and I were driving during the Christmas holidays and talking about chores for our kids. Let me explain: “I’m doing this because I love…
Christmas Hangover
I’m praying for a really long “hangover” this Christmas. Let me explain: The Collins English Dictionary defines a hangover as “the delayed aftereffects of drinking too much alcohol…” A “Christmas Hangover” is what I’m calling that time after the annual family gathering/gift exchange when you experience the “aftereffects” of Christmas. Some of the typical symptoms…
Facebook as a Monument
It’s HUGE! Almost everyone I know is on it! (Except my mom.) I once wrote a post about how organizations go through a series of changes. These are not my original ideas. They come from a guy named Floyd McClung. Anyway, Here are the steps: 1. It begins with a Man on a Mission. 2….
Small Prayers
Over the last couple of years, I’ve been praying for a job. I prayed that prayer for so long and with such desperation that I quit praying for smaller things. I was focused. I knew that God would provide, but as often as I was reminded of my situation, I prayed for it. And in…
Kesleigh’s Words
I did a similar post about my kid’s command of the English language a few years back. This one focuses on Kesleigh’s words. I love listening in as she discovers new words and I want to capture these moments here so I can remember them later. I’ll never get these years back and once she…
Place of Grace – Meridian – for my children
I never finished this, but it was an idea for a poem or song or something to give to my children. It expresses the things I plan to share with my kids when I take them to visit Meridian State Park someday. I’ll tell them the story of how I came to know Jesus. I’m…
Quote: Success includes Play
“If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.” – Albert Einstein I love that Einstein includes “play” in his formula for success. Play = work + play + keeping your mouth shut I think our…
Wave Links – Draft Written in Aug 2010
Here are some links that are associated with an old ministry I was involved in called “The Wave.” If you were a part of it, you should check out these sites and go down memory lane a bit. http://zachmcnair.com/~soundw/thewave/v2/ http://joneichler.com/post/970445977/the-wave-today-zach-mcnair-tweeted-that-he-found http://stevecorn.com/2009/09/simon-says/ http://stevecorn.com/2009/11/mutemath-concert/ http://stevecorn.com/2007/05/its-a-small-world-3/ http://stevecorn.com/2009/09/mr-corns-opus/ http://stevecorn.com/2010/05/a-perfect-ministry-storm/
Writer’s Block
I’ve had a little writer’s block lately – probably cause I’ve been focused on learning how to be a good wood shop teacher. Anyway, I was looking back at my “draft” posts today to see which ones I needed to work up and realized that I have about 30. I plan on posting a few…
