My brother Jonathan has been telling me for a while now that I need to see the television show Lost. I kept putting it off because it’s a show that’s still running and I hate starting things that I can’t quite finish yet. My sister Adiel got into the act and told me that I [...]

I was cooking this past Saturday and wanted some music to listen to. I was in a fairly good mood so I figured it would be safe to listen to some music that could never be described as happy. So I put on Counting Crows August and Everything After. For a portion of my life [...]

Yesterday was the Sunday we specially celebrate the resurrection of our Jesus. Some call it Easter Sunday. Some call it Resurrection Sunday. Some, like me, aren’t sure we like Easter Sunday, but think Resurrection Sunday is too clunky a title. I was thinking about writing a post Saturday that would publish on Sunday that would [...]

Happy Spring, everyone! This winter has not been that much fun. Now we have summer to look forward to with the blistering heat, nasty bugs and swimming through the air humidity. Oh wait, that’s not really a happy thought. Um, Contemplative Spring, everyone!

 Last night as I turned off my light the little knob flew off and across the room. I didn’t feel like getting up to look for it, so I unscrewed the light bulb a little to turn it off. And you all know what this means….
I got my door fixed today!!!!
Yay!

The day before I came down with the flu, Gabrielle was telling me about a woman who started out as a missionary and then ended up getting bounced between POW camps and concentrations camps a couple of times. Gabrielle tells me that this woman survived on a few hundred calories a day, and had malaria, [...]

 I was going to write a blog post, but I only seem to have boring thoughts right now. Perhaps it’s an aftereffect of the flu. Perhaps it really was a genetically engineered virus, which not only makes you crave fast-food cheeseburgers, but strips away your creativity to make you a good little automaton to work [...]

I have an unusual relationship with the roads in Peoria. The relationship is unusual in that I actually know what the main roads are called and, more or less, where they go. This is unusual for me at least because in Erie I didn’t know many roads even though I’d grown up there. I knew [...]

Well, it looks like it’s that time again when I go about my daily life with a clove of garlic in each ear and the oil of oregano not far away. Yep, my fever turned into a cold which turned into an ear infection. Fun times.
So for the next few days it’ll be cotton [...]

Well, it turns out that a great way to get one’s mind off of life being strange and the family being sick is to come down with a 102.4 fever. Really, it takes your mind off of life. My favorite part was the shiver that would start way down on my legs and shoot up [...]
