Amy is off doing her thing this weekend. And the timing isn’t all that great.
I have a new bike that I can’t ride yet. I preach tomorrow and have been in a fine mood this week. Cayden is going through some phase right now that the other two didn’t and […]

So I vaguely remember my phone ringing at 1 AM last night. Actually, I don’t remember at all but when I went to check voice mail messages…I had one at 1 AM.
From some students…at the Waffle House.
They weren’t drunk…at least as far as I could tell. They wanted to tell me what an […]

She ran it in 1:57:56 - that’s 7 minutes better than here Little Rock time.
I have no pictures but she called, she sounded pumped.
I’m now going to start my training for my bike race next year.

A blog-friend of mine is a dad…
could you do me a favor? Go over to his site and give that man a blessing/prayer for this oh-so-hard but oh-so-worth journey of kids?
Here is the crazy story.
Here are pictures.
Congrats, Rey!

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email program - which I love - other than the just recently really slow load time…but that is another blog.
I love the RSS subscription feature but couldn’t get Xanga users in my subscription list. UNTIL TODAY!!!! Thanks to Radio Free Blogistan you can now subscribe to […]

Something hit me this week. I’ve had some major conflict resolution talks this week - both in my home and outside of it. I got a glimpse of something inside my son this week that I’ve decided to tackle now. No more playing the victim.
The kid has a tendency to view consequences […]

I’ve got a couple of students who have their blogs/journals on Xanga and I hate it. It won’t let you comment unless you are a member - Blogger has done that now. I kinda get that because of the whole spam thing.
But the more annoying thing than that is you can only subscribe […]

Got to hang out with a “one of us” guy yesterday in the metroplex of Searcy, Arkansas. I love hanging with other youthworkers who are trying to figure out how to reproduce Kingdom focused teen leaders in a consumer driven-entertaiment saturated-youth focused-sex obsessed culture.
The safe rant is to blame the parents. The truth […]
