Taking up a new hobby like photography gives you a chance to see things you might not have seen before. I’ve always loved watching nature, especially the big explosive parts like hurricanes and tornadoes and other bad weather phenomena. I often tell people in advance of something like big storms that God’s going to put on a show. Wednesday night, we were reminded yet again how awesome God’s creation is. [Read more...]

I understand we live in a country where capitalism is lauded as a way of life. And I’m grateful to live in a country where freedoms are something we don’t ever have to think about. Or rarely have to think about. Although some might argue that our freedoms are slowly eroding [Read more...]

My son doesn’t appear to be a natural when it comes to sports. He’s played city league soccer and he currently plays basketball in a Christian sports league. More often than not, he’s more interested in running around the field or court than he is in focusing on the task at hand, whether it’s drills or actual execution of the game.

I missed the release of Shane & Shane’s latest album last year. I’m not really sure how that happened, but I’ve finally had an opportunity to listen to it a few times, and I’m glad to say it was worth the wait. Pages is easily my favorite Shane & Shane project to date. With solid lyrics and skilled musicianship at its core, this is a CD I can recommend without reservation. [Read more...]
