I have just returned from having some, well, personal tests done. When I’ve had these tests done in the past the experience was uncomfortable both physically and socially. Plus, they found something I wasn’t all that thrilled about. So I am pleased to report that we didn’t find what I was expecting to find and [...]

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 [...]

Death is a very frightening thing. We have no idea what is on the other side, what’s waiting for us, what’ll happen when we stop breathing and moving. The far side is terrifying.

A few months ago I had an opportunity to go to an Andrew Peterson concert in St. Louis. For reasons that seems supremely reasonable at the time I declined going, but since I habitually kick myself for it I think I still qualify as a raving fanboy. Andrew Peterson is a skilled lyricist and while [...]

I have recently discovered that I am a hopeless romantic. I love watching people fall in love; I love watching people who are in love. I like watching the awkward newly-weds and I like watching the sweet old couple. I don’t like the genre of Romance, but I delight in love stories.

I don’t really like most Christian music. Unless the artist is royally ticked off at the Church, doesn’t put his music under the label of Christian or was inspired by Rich Mullins (or is Rich Mullins) then my default setting is ambivalent with leanings towards dislike. Yes, I know this is unfair. I mention this [...]
