“We” aka Pinecrest Church are having one tonight. In fact, as I type there is a flurry of activity getting ready for it.
The highlight for me? A lady is here cooking brats. (Not brats, like your kids are acting like brats but brats like bratwursts.) There is also a […]

So, here’s the goods from Mike Riley as I lost my bet:
The Game
I won’t evaluate him until he’s done with his career, but I guarantee you one thing:
He amazes me. He amazes me, just his leadership qualities and his sense of urgency, the way he reads defenses. -Mike Shanahan (source)
Yeah, me too, Mike.
Denver has the […]

Cooper is my new hero. Okay, he’s always been my hero but my appreciation for him went up about 10 notches this weekend.
First, he’s been sick all weekend. Not strep but something is living in his lungs and makes him sound like Darth Vader.
Second, we went to Breckenridge this weekend and he never […]

I emailed with two good friends today who are in the middle of making incredibly difficult decisions. I feel for them. We’ve made our share of hard decisions…everybody has. Nobody is immuned from hard decisions.
Here’s what I’m learning though. Looking back at some of the hard decisions, they don’t seem so […]

12 inches of snow!!! Absolutely gorgeous and people don’t freak out here. Nice change.
Camber thinks it snowed just because it was her birthday. She’s right.

Indy plays the Broncos this weekend. Anyone at Pinecrest need a friend to go with them to the game?
As a bet, Mike Riley and I have wagered a “guest blog” on the game. Winner gets to blog on the other’s site.
So G sides readers - get ready to read a rant […]

We’ve got an offer on our house, we made one on a house here. Both are accepted and signed. Scheduled the movers.
Now the slow, painful wait to closing day - Nov 17th for the house on Old Spanish Trail.
On top of all of that trying to build a youth team.
The danger […]

We started out sledding in the backyard but that didn’t last long. We had to find more snow. And a hill.
Turns out that the snow was easy to find but a hill proved a bit more difficult. Cooper said he wished we could have our hill that we lived on in Little […]

Dinner tonight, Camber was “waxing eloquently” about growing up. I honestly don’t want her to grow up right now. She’s the perfect age and such a fun girl to be around. Alas, she gave me some of her wisdom tonight.
“Dad, I don’t wanna go to college. I wanna stay home […]

I’m answering the phone this week and someone asks for the “owner of your business.”
I paused…”Well, God owns us but he doesn’t exactly office here.”
Silence on the other end. Finally - “Is the owner there?”
“God technically is here everyday. We are a church, so He owns us and yes, you can talk to […]
