So, I dunno about you guys, but our friends come up with nicknames for each other that are less than flattering…. the main ones:
Fat Damon – For the guy that looks just like Matt Damon, only fatter.
Frosty the Redhead – For the redhead who, when he finally decided to grow his hair out to normal guy length (as opposed to an almost buzz), we discovered [...]

Perhaps one day I’ll share the concept behind the birth of this quote. But for now… a simple reminder to challenge the status quo… don’t allow yourself to be told what to think and how to act without challenging the source… if you find status quo to fit the Truth, embrace it… otherwise, blaze your own trail.
Jesus challenged the Status Quo when it didn’t line [...]

So, as you may remember, I decided to try out Speech online rather than on-campus. We’re about halfway through, and there is no doubt I would consider this a mistake. In my closing comments I will definitely let our school know why this class should not be offered online…
1 – you have to find your own audiences, which may work for some people, but is [...]

I got a call friday from an old friend and mentor asking me to help him out at his church this weekend. I used to attend the church, and there is quite a bit of family history (mostly good, but not all of it) at the church despite only being there for a few years.  I decided to oblige… after all, i’ve been meaning to go [...]

These were taken for various Christmas projects this year… Dionna’s mom in Connecticut and Josh and Lindsey who are running off to Ukraine in a month or so. Now you can see them… click for bigger better versions…

4. Fort Worth, Tx
5. El Paso, Tx
6. Dallas
7. Miami
8. Oklahoma City
9. Mesa, Ariz

A little geography lesson for those of you outside of Tx… Numbers 2, 4, and 6 are all in the same metropolitan area… where I [...]

The more I seek to become responsible in my thought process, the more “liberal” I become. Christianity may soon denounce me; thankfully Chirst will not.

Sometimes in an effort to remind people of the cost of the cross, we withhold grace until we are sure they understand their sin… but its in giving of our grace that we remind people they need to go to Jesus on their own. People understand their sin without our help, its grace they need help understanding.

Much like February 29, my political side only comes out once every four years. Yet, every election I exercise my right NOT to vote and get harassed by clergy, Christians, and commoners alike… as if I’m a bad American for not voting. I couple my right not to vote with an understanding that I will not complain too much about what goes on in spite [...]

So, it’s been awhile since a real post…
Work suddenly became busy for a couple of weeks… it’s slowed back down, but i tend not to post when work is busy.
School has been a bit of a beating so far this semester, but I must admit that I’ve brought most of the issues on myself.
And finally, sickness decided to camp out at my house. Once again [...]
