It’s now 5:30 P.M. on a Friday evening- the Friday before the long Memorial Weekend unfolds and Americans check out for an extra day. Over the last week, I’ve noticed temperatures falling in and out of the office. The sky is darker in the morning on run days- not quite full on night, but...
Read more →About 10 years ago or so, I stumbled across this BBC offering on the local PBS station, and after watching the show for 5 minutes, I was hooked. I find the mockumentary comedy format hilarious, and the scripts for these shows are just brilliant. I totally love this show’s brand of humor. Unfortunately, for...

It’s another late night post after a long day. That seems to be the mode of late. I want to get something written up about a topic or my day, and the words don’t develop until after 10 p.m. I wish I could get past that. Still, today was a good day, if only...
Read more →To study Acts in our small group, the book needs to be divided into chunks that can be handled meaningfully from week to week. The following chunk schedule was made with the help of the good ol’ Halley’s Bible Handbook. Week 1 Christ’s Resurrection, Ascension, and the Upper Room Acts 1 Week 2 Pentecost...
Read more →I have a good friend who lost a sibling to cancer six years ago today. My friend loved her sister dearly, and she feels it every year when the anniversary comes up, if not only because she lost a sister, but also because that was one of the hardest years of her life, and...

I hope one day you will discover forgiveness and second chances, girl.
After a decent day at work yesterday, I had a serendipitous time with a friend of mine from the dance club and church. Last week, I went to Thearith and Daing’s house for a spring roll dinner, and my friend Gwen came over as well. Well, she had brought a chicken salad, which she...

Good morning. It was a good weekend, although much of Saturday could be taken off the books. Friday night, Sagebrush Highland had a swim party at the Highland High pool, and we had a great turnout. Games were played, prizes were given, and seven people were baptized. One gal wasn’t even planning to be...
Read more →It was rough getting up this morning at 5:45 when the alarm went off. I was in such a deep sleep and dreaming that it took me a few moments to realize it was going off. Even then, my body didn’t want to move. Kurt, my running buddy, felt the same way getting up...
Read more →Tonight I had great experience with a couple from my small group, and another friend from my dance group and church. I have mentioned the husband of the couple before, but they need a better introduction. Both he and his wife are amazing people. Anyways, they had myself and our friend Gwen over for...
Read more →On Monday night at my small group, we dove in a little into Acts when it was generically asked, “What in your reading stood out to you?” To try and highlight life changing concepts from a summary reading of the 28 chapters of the book is a challenge. Still, some interesting thoughts were shared....
Read more →Tonight was a much more productive night than last night- I actually had some energy. And I felt a little better than this morning. After work, I stopped by Smith’s to pick up some groceries, and ended up with pretty much all fruits and vegetables. After last weekend with all of its sugars and...
Read more →It’s about 10 AM this morning, and I am back at work after an extended weekend. I feel pretty much today like the sky was this morning when I got up: dark, a bit on the cold side, and partly cloudy with a decent chance of precipitation. Sometimes for me, it’s simply a fight...
Read more →Yesterday, my folks, my bro and his family, and myself trekked up to Denver to see our Pummel aunt, uncle, cousins, and our cousin Darci for the weekend (reason forthcoming). The drive up was quiet. Once we got up here, we all collected at Jer and Amy’s and then broke up to run some...
