Back to the Future
I've written a number of times regarding my deep and abiding love for all things Back to the Future. I've sat through the trilogy countless times. When I visited Los Angeles back in 2008, my friend Jen took me on a whirlwind adventure that included many of the locations used in the films. I wish … Continue reading Back to the Future
Blame
It's human nature to pass blame on to someone else. The Bible shows us that, even from the beginning, man was busy trying to shift blame for his own sin. When God asked Adam if he'd eaten from the only tree He commanded him not to eat from, Adam blamed Eve, and in turn, blamed … Continue reading Blame

The Premio Dardos Award
I'm a huge slacker. I meant to follow up on this a couple weeks ago but then I didn't.

I'd like to thank Raphaela at Hummingbird Redemption for nominating me for this … Continue reading The Premio Dardos Award
The Single Guy vs. Another Hiking Trip
Kids, I'm starting to think that all hiking trips in which I'm involved are doomed to fail before they begin. You'll recall I attempted a solo trip to the Cascades recently, which ended with me reaching the entrance and turning around and going home due to the overcrowding of the trail. Yesterday, I joined a … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. Another Hiking Trip
The Book That Changed Everything
Stanley rushed down the stairs, hoping to catch his wife before she left for work. When he got to the kitchen he realized he was too late. She had let him oversleep, so he didn't have a chance to wish her a happy anniversary. Madison had left coffee warming in the pot, knowing that Stan … Continue reading The Book That Changed Everything
