I’ve posted on this issue before (see end of this post for links) but now I have a 10 year old in my house. I’ve been talking with one of my friends who has a son about the same age as Cooper. We’ve decided that the hardest age group to determine what is appropriate for read more
I’m down. I can’t even talk on the phone for long periods of time without needing a nap. The only silver lining….my laptop and Halo 3. (Which by the way…exceeded my expectations.)
I’m not an Arkansas fan but I can empathize with them. The Tide lost a close game with a good Georgia team. What Saban has done with the same talent that Shula had is pretty impressive. Can’t wait until Alabama gets some talent and experience. I was talking with my dad about the Tide and read more
The Denver Bronco defensive linemen and linebackers should all get their own milk carton… as in… Missing…if you see them, contact Mike Shanahan immediately. Make a special edition for the special teams as well. The only thing worse than the game on Sunday were the announcers. I thought Rich Gannon was bad. Randy Cross was read more
This is part of our e-journey through the gospel of John. This week’s from John 16. “People will think they are doing God a favor when they kill you.” Jesus, to his disciples the night before he is betrayed and murdered. The disciples had to be thinking they were getting the worse motivational speech of read more
Amy had her time away and we had a great time. We stayed up late and watched the Shaggy Dog. We went to the Museum of Nature and Science. They are renovating the planetarium and the Discovery Zone play area – so we didn’t get to do those things. We learned that our favorite restaurant read more
Amy gets the weekend off. She’s going on a women’s retreat/getaway/stay-up late and eat junk food binge with other women this weekend in LoDo. She’s going with Kitty and Anita and Suzanne and well…that’s not what’s important. What’s important is this – she gets a chance to recharge. It’s not that she is dragging and read more
The short version of the story is this – a few white boys hung a noose in front of school and made racially insensitive (and stupid) comments. One of those white boys got beat up by 6 black boys. Except they weren’t boys, they were men or at least were tried as men in the read more
The dominance continues… In ECFC, another solid week of points, another divisional game, and another incredibly close game but this time I get the W. It had to be the timeout I called right as he was preparing to kick the game winning field goal. Parker Highlanders (1-1) – 141 Da Bears (1-1) – 139 read more
Avast, ye scurvy dogs and welcome t’ da talk lika Pirate day. Here’s an English t’ Pirate translator t’ use through out t’ day t’ confuse your mateys and buckos. What do you wear on Talk Like a Pirate Day? Well, mateys – it’s TALK like a Pirate Day, not DRESS like a pirate. You read more
The Tide pulled it out, thank you Mr. John Parker Wilson. Roll Tide. I don’t ever want to play against Darren McFadden. He’s a beast and this game just shows you how good of a player he is. With McFadden in the game, Arkansas ran up and down the field. Classic smashmouth football. He’s quite read more
Last year’s ratings revealed both the lack of creativity and honesty of the East Coast Football Club. After the initial ratings were released it was revealed that some of the owners (cough – Memphis Mojo, Da Bears) had STOLEN their logo from other professional sports teams, others had LAZILY (cough – Your Mama) lazily grabbed read more
I just traded Clinton Portis, RB, WAS for Roy Williams, WR, DET. In this league we get a point per reception plus yardage plus TDs. I need the WR depth…I still have Travis Henry and Edge James as RBs. Thought you’d like to know…ha hah
So Bill Belicheat was caught video taping and stealing signals from the Jets sideline. What is the commission going to do? I have no idea but I know what he should do. What happens to a player when he cheats? He misses games and isn’t allowed to practice with the team. That’s what Goodell should read more
A good week for both leagues in terms of amount of points scored. Ran into a juggernaut in my ECFC league. ECFC Parker Highlanders – 135 Memphis Mojo – 143 This game was decided with 6 minutes left in the Monday night game. It was tied until Boldin caught the TD pass from Leinart. Heartbreaker read more
This is part of our e-journey through the gospel of John. Today is from John 15. I’m serious – what kind of fruit grows on this vine? The right is answer? None. This vine will never produce any fruit, ever again because it’s no longer connected to a source of nourishment. Trick question? Not really. read more
Okay, guys. Rain made our lot mud. Rain going away, lot returning to dirt. Pavers coming tomorrow. Which means – youth is at my house on Wednesday night. See ya’ 6.30. We’ll be done at 8. Bring your bibles and some snacks. We’ll provide the caffeine. Also – anybody that wants to come over tonight read more
I’m saying it now and sticking by it. Alabama is going to roll up and all over the little piggies from Arkansas. It’s going to be a blowout. It will be over before halftime. That is if McFadden misses the bus or is abducted by aliens between now and the kickoff. If any of you read more
He interrupted me at this point – “Are about to sell me ‘follow Jesus and your life will get better’ crap? Because I’m not buying.†“No. I’m not selling that because it’s not accurate, it’s the exact opposite of what Jesus says. What Jesus says he’ll do is make you a better person, he’ll make read more
New haircut, new Dora “chicken” (kitchen), same Cayden smile… Happy Birthday, Precious…don’t grow up too quick.
This was 10 days ago. We went and saw the Cleveland Browns preseason game. We had a blast…thank you Rowland. Great seats.
Journal of Student Ministries published an article on event vs. relationship driven ministry. Here’s the first bit of it. Stick around student ministry long enough and somebody will ask you something like this: Are you an event pastor or a relationship pastor? Most of the time the question is asked in a way that lets read more
As was noted in the comments of this post – it could be feast or famine in regards to my RBs. Just pulled off a trade that could help in that department. I gave up Vince Young, Santonio Holmes for Brian Westbrook and DJ Hackett. It’s a trade that actually helps both of us out. read more
This is part of our e-journey through the gospel of John. Today is from John 14. …then I can do what I want to do when I want to do it.” “Like eat dessert before I eat dinner.” One of my children – who will remain nameless – made this observation the other night. It read more
They are taking anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of dirt off our parking lot right now. It is one holy heck of a mess right now. If it rains – I’ll have to wear waders and a life vest. Plus the contractors have informed me that in order to make sure the parking lot read more
This is the other league I’m in. Cooper is my GM this year, next year we’ll attempt for him to have his own team. Took a completely different tack in the draft in this one. Here’s what I got. I feel good about it…of course, everyone feels good about their draft at this time of read more
Praise God for college football. And this weekend was awesome!!! 1. Appalachian State. I’m now a Mountaineer fan. Just walked into the Big House and punched the Big Blue in the mouth. 2. Virginia Tech. What an emotional game. I don’t know how they even played but they did. 3. Notre Dame. Any weekend that read more
