I recently wrote about how I had been binge watching the Parenthood TV series via Netflix. As I have navigated my way through the latter seasons, something occurred to me which caused me to connect a character in the show to my personal life. Actually, not so much my personal life as the personal life … Continue reading Another Parenthood Post

Go Home Again
The bus pulled into the station at exactly 7:03. The sun was long gone and the tiny town was lit by street lights and blinking traffic lights. Kathryn stepped off the Greyhound and closed up her jacket. She had forgotten how cold this place got on a January evening. She walked over to the side … Continue reading Go Home Again
Now Trending
There's a trend on Facebook. Well, I don't know that you can call it a trend when it's been going on for years. But it's a trend that I find slightly annoying. And it's entirely possible that I'm the only one it annoys because I think I'm the only one who hasn't jumped on the … Continue reading Now Trending
Day Thirty
A Dream for the Future This seems really similar to yesterday's post. As I mentioned before, I'm not really one to plan for the future. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. And, while I don't necessarily think of myself as a pessimist, I'm definitely not an optimist. I joke around with … Continue reading Day Thirty
Capture the Flag
Remember that retreat I went on a couple weeks ago? I mentioned that we played Capture the Flag as part of our weekend festivities. Yesterday, I posted a picture of myself that was taken after that game, when I was pretty much declared the MVP. But I haven't explained, in detail, why someone with no … Continue reading Capture the Flag
Day Seven
A Photo That Makes Me Happy I know I just posted this picture yesterday, including this group as a part of my favorite things. But it's a picture that makes me happy. So deal with it.
Day Six
My 20 Favorite Things I couldn't care less about raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens. No... I can't say that. Kittens are kind of adorable. But I wouldn't call their whiskers anything close to being one of my favorite things. And when the dog bites, I'm generally not thinking of my favorite things. I'm … Continue reading Day Six
Walking in Truth
I've said it before and I'll say it again... When I grow up, I want to live at the lake. Though, would I really love it as much if I were living there alone? All of my experiences of temporarily staying in lake houses have always involved being there with groups of people. Particularly with … Continue reading Walking in Truth
Swagger Wagon
Welcome to another easy post. One of those in which I just share a video from the YouTube. This is a classic from our good friends at Toyota (who does not sponsor this blog, but probably should since my current and previous cars are/were both Toyotas). It's basically a long-form commercial for the Sienna. I … Continue reading Swagger Wagon
Honor Those Who Fear the Lord
My pastor, Jeff, issued a challenge on his blog. His post focused on honoring the people in his life who fear the Lord. As he explained it, these are the people who have pushed him closer to Christ throughout his life. His challenge to readers was to think about people who fear the Lord and … Continue reading Honor Those Who Fear the Lord
