Do You See The Glory?

“Same Kind of Different As Me” by Ron Hall and Denver Moore
A friend gave my wife this book, and they both suggested I read it.  I didn’t really want to, and don’t have much time to sit and read, so they gave me the audiobook version.  I listened to it whlie driving to work.  Once [...]

Gramm, our 9-month old, had some turkey today. You would never have known it was turkey by looking at it, or probably tasting it either. Here’s a short clip showing what he thought about eating turkey on his first ever Thanksgiving.

This email discussion between a chiropractor’s office and one of their clients is one of the funniest things I’ve ever read.

Here’s a video clip Beth took at Jaxon’s most recent TaeKwon-Do class. They were bandanna sparring, which is where they have a bandanna tucked into their belt behind them, and they try to grab the other person’s bandanna. It’s pretty funny. You can tell Jaxon just loves this stuff. The kid [...]

Nate Huss is a fairly new artist that is getting some recognition here in November for his promotion of National Adoption Month. You see, Nate was adopted himself, along with 7 other adopted brothers and sisters. The 23-year old Huss said in a recent interview:
I’m thankful to God and to a biological mother [...]

Our family did something this past Saturday that we’ve never done before.  All four of us took a family outing to the Mall.  Of course Beth and I have been to mall many times, and Jaxon has been a few times.  Actually, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to the mall.  I think [...]

Now and Laters - For those of you that enjoyed “Now & Later’s” as a kid, have you tried any of today’s Now & Laters?  If you have, you will understand why I suggest they drop the “Later” from their name and just call them “Nows”.  They used to be very hard candy that lasted [...]

I created a couple of caricatures from one of the on-line sites for both Beth and me.  You can choose from a bunch of different features to create the most accurate caricatures possible.  I think both of these are pretty good representations.  It was fun.  As you can see, I married way over my head.

Jaxon began taking TaeKwon-Do this week.  He’s only been to two classes, but so far he loves it.  Here’s a few pictures of the class.  Some are not so clear becuase I’m taking them indoors with a moving subject.  You can click on the pictures to enlarge them.  The first one is when they were [...]

OK, imagine you are watching a stand-up comic and he gives the old line, “My friend is soooo worthless…”  And of course the crowd responds in their monotone shout, “HOW - WORTH-LESS - IS - HE?”  And then the comic comes back with something like, “My friend is so worthless, he has to pay his [...]

Last Saturday, we went and visited the Campfire Creek Therapeutic Riding Center, run by Emily Oliver.  They minister to children who have special needs.  As we’ve found out on Saturday and through talking with them, horses can be very therapeutic.  It’s a very interesting ministry.  I got in contact with them through some friends, the [...]

You might find it hard to believe, but I do have more in common with Tony Romo than just good looks, mad skills, and having to deal with man crushes and chicks digging me.  We have both recently broken the pinky finger on our throwing hands.  This is very problematic for both of us, considering [...]

It’s time to teach Jaxon to tie his own shoes, so as I usually do, I did a little research on the internet for tips on teaching kids how to tie shoelaces.  What I found was quite amazing.  First, I had no idea how many different ways there were to tie your shoes.  I would [...]

Jaxon, my 5 year old, wore out his old bicycle, so we went to the bike store last weekend to look for him a new bike.  I tried to get him to get this one, setting out in front of the store, but he wasn’t too keen on it.  So we went inside to see [...]

I’ve never done this before, and it probably won’t be the last time, but here’s a link to a post in another blog that I’ve found to be very entertaining.  For those of you that have spent many years in church, I think you will too.  The blog is titled, “Stuff Christians Like”.  I’ve also [...]

If you enjoyed the Cone on the Throne, I think you’ll like this one as well.  Not too long ago, Jaxon and I were in Family Christian Store in Cedar Hill, doing a little shopping.  Jaxon decided he needed to use the restroom.  For their public restroom, it’s a small, single multi-gender restroom, on the [...]

There are quite a few scary verses in the Bible.  Here are a few off the top of my head that I would think would have to be considered:
James 3:1
Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.
Only scary for teachers I guess.
Matt7:23
“And then I [...]

Ever been intensely focused on watching TV, and dropped an M&M on the floor.  So you reach down to pick it up (within 5 seconds), without losing focus, and put it back into your mouth… only to realize what you put in your mouth was not what you dropped?  Me neither.

If you asked 100 people on the street who Lucifer is, you’d probably get about 99 of them responding with, “the devil”. Lucifer is the devil’s real name, right? Like when he was an angel in heaven, everybody called him Lucifer?
Actually, there are some misconceptions, rumors, and myths that Christians believe about the [...]

This is hilarious. Abraham Piper (son of John Piper) is trying to get his young son, Orison to say Barak Obama for a video he was trying to film for his blog, 22 Words. He’s a trooper.
