  • for those who don’t read the comments

    The bible study. silly phrase. I think I may blog it. Getting together only every other week or so. We are all busy people. I’m gonna go ahead and start at the beginning. Genesis, that is. and Just look through for references to prayer or conversations with God and study them. I might use bible…

  • katsup; ketchup; catsup; catch-up

    So, here’s the skinny (isn’t that funny, coming from me)! Classes have started at LCC. I teach Tue and Thurs. I’m not gonna tell you when or where. I know some of you can’t resist an opportunity to heckle. Classes went well last week and I am really, really excited! I love teaching. So much.…

  • Gonna have to register

    Okay. After just getting slammed by a dozen blog spam comments on Cialis and online casinos, I turned on TypeKey authentication for this blog. To comment, you’ll need to create a typekey account. You’ll only have to do this once, and probably you won’t actually have to sign in that often. Warning: To those who…

  • Eh. . .What was that, sonny?

    Sandy Clouthier asked me if I remembered what life was like before I had kids. I said no. My kids are under 5. I really can’t remember. I think that I was about to become someone that I could like and be proud of. Someone who could earn a living and who could be witty…

  • IOC vs Free Speech?

    Wired.com posted an article, You’re Athletes, Not Journalists, that to me sounds like it is at odds with the whole “free speech” idea. The International Olympic Committee is barring competitors, as well as coaches, support personnel and other officials, from writing firsthand accounts for news and other websites.

  • Pictures from when Lila was a newborn

    I just ran across some photos we had of when Lila was born. They’re on my old web space at MSU. Chey still had dreads at that point.

  • Comment problems

    FYI, I updated this blog software to the most recent version of Movable Type, and the comment features aren’t working right. No matter what I set the preferences to, every comment submitted is help for approval — which I don’t really want. I’d prefer that the comments just went up and if there is something…

  • The best vitamin for a Christian

    Can you guess what it is? B1 I actually saw that on a church sign tonight. I’ve got a confession to make. I am not a good Christian. And don’t worry. I’m not leading any small groups or mentoring anyone so the health and wellbeing of the flock should be secure. But I did a…

  • a bittersweet end.

    The Folk festival was a blast. I forgot the camera. Don’t be upset. I remembered the children. We went Sat and Sun and I think the music has been better in other years. But it is so much fun to be outside with lots of people and to be able to let the kids run…

  • Catch 22 (what does that even mean?)

    So I was reading this book. . . “He passed streets full of houses just like his own: Victorian brick dividing him from mothers unable to hear the white noise in their heads over crying babies and demanding toddlers, in their self-imposed luxury prisons. When they needed a community, each one would switch on the…
