A Catholic high school in Broomfield has suspended a student because he said “white power” in a classroom discussion. The discussion was on the immigration issue and apparently “white power” became the phrase to define a certain position.
Here’s what I find incredibly sad/funny about the situation. The school reported that fewer […]

I’m in two leagues..again…this year. This is my keeper league. We also play a point per reception. I’m going to love this league next year but this year - could be brutal. With all the stud picks already taken, I drafted for the future…as you can tell with as many rookie […]

Had that told to me a few days ago by a friend in ministry. He was contemplating whether or not it was time to “get out.” For a few minutes I thought I was looking in the mirror circa 2005/2006. I just listened to him. This time was for him to […]

Colorado Springs schools bans the playing of tag on the playground saying children who don’t want to play are being chased and harassed against their will.

This is part of our e-journey through the gospel of John. Today is from John 13.
Camber is watching the Star Wars movies in order (minus Revenge of the Sith). Her favorite one - Empire Strikes Back. (Yes, I have raised my daughter right.) She calls it the snow one. The good […]

Here’s what I thought would be some of the answers:
Everybody is doing it.
You’re too young to […]

This is the title of the new series we’re starting tonight for Refuel. (Our youth worship experience.) I can’t tell you how amped I am about it.
It’s not because I’ve got it all figured out. In fact, I’m so stinking behind, I’m toying with the idea of locking myself in a coffee […]

Finally someone has publicly called out Tiki for being a complete selfish boob last season. Best of all, it’s Eli Manning - Tiki’s former whipping boy.
Tiki torched Eli at halftime of a nationally broadcast game questioning his leadership skills. Eli’s remarks?
It’s just one of those deals. I’m not going to lose any sleep […]

When the first images of the World Trade Center were being broadcast on September 11th, 2001, no one could believe it was really happening. We sure as heck didn’t think it was a terrorist attack. Then the second plane hit. Then the plane hit the Pentagon. Then another one crashed in […]
