I thought Alabama could win. I said Alabama WOULD win. I just didn’t think it was going to be that dominant. 31-0 at half. Bama didn’t have to punt until the 3rd quarter. Never trailed in the game. Haven’t trailed all season. After the offensive line pushed Georgia down the field to score 7, the read more
Steve Boehm was in town this week for some sort of engineer conference/training. He’s a smart person. He stayed an extra day because he wanted to go to the mountains. Here’s what we did…Estes Park. Estes Park is our family’s favorite summer and fall destination. YMCA of the Rockies has a ton of memories for read more
This is a ridiculous post. I’m half ashamed to even publish this. Is there even an argument that there is another conference better in football than the SEC? (Insert cricket chirping noise here.)
Number 3 vs. Number 8 Black vs. White – jerseys that is. East vs. West It’s a big game…arguably the biggest so far in the SEC season. (Stow it, Auburn fans. LSU vs. Auburn was sooooo last week.) Let get all the variables out of the way… Georgia will be at home, between the hedges read more
I’m a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Here’s what the next 7 days look like for me. Wednesday, Sep 24 – Pinecrest Youth, John 11 Sunday, Sep 28 – Pinecrest, 2 Services, John 1:35-54 Tuesday, Sep 30 – Oasis, KNCSB Youthworkers, 3 Sessions Session 1: Seismic Shift In Youth Culture Session 2: From Director to read more
So this past weekend was the “Women of Faith” weekend. Amy and a bunch of gals from church went, spent two nights downtown. That’s the backdrop… “Did you know that Women of Faith was started by a man?” G: “No, I didn’t know that.” “Well that was so surprising to me…I mean… a man!” G: read more
I will say it again… Jay Cutler is a stud. He’s going to have a bad game at some point, I realize this. But I wouldn’t take another quarterback over him in the league right now. I am however taking offers on defenses. Going 3-0 and watching all the offensive fireworks should make all of read more
I tried to gently break the news to our Arkansas faithful out there last week. The Tide didn’t break it gently. I had a friend at the game. He called at kickoff. I called at halftime. He had already left the stadium. He told me thank you for not running up the score. And he read more
Last week I felt like I was running from one even to the other – didn’t even have time to blog like I normally do. I covered some of our activities…here’s the rest of the week… Gymnastics Camber loves this and Nana got to go with her and see her strut her stuff. Opening Up read more
I think the last time my mom and dad bought a television was during the Reagan administration. Yesterday we went to Buckley AFB in Aurora to look at TVs at the Base Exchange. Couple things you need to know about BXs or PXs. The prices on stuff is good but you make up for it read more
I had 3 Rockies tickets from a game that was rained out earlier this year. Last night, we decided to use them. At the ticket office, the guy said – “Hey, can you wait a minute? I want to go talk to my manager.” A few minutes later we were holding tickets 13 rows up read more
Going For 2 As I said – I didn’t like the call at first. After thinking through it – it was the right choice even if the attempt had failed. Here’s why – it sent a message to the offense – particularly Jay Cutler – that the coaches believe in you. It said with a read more
Alabama is 3-0, sitting pretty for a great SEC run that starts this weekend with the Arkansas Razorbacks. I have a large number of Razorback readers. So I will try to be gentle. First step to recovery is acceptance. Let’s look at some facts… Arkansas 28, Western Illinois 24 – at home. Last minute heroics read more
Confab – an informal discussion. This is what we call our Life Group leader sharpening. A bunch of us sit around the table, we throw out a few questions we are dealing with, then see where it all goes. Here’s what we unpacked: What are you most looking forward to this year? (Life Group and/or read more
5 Things I Think About The Broncos, Week 2 1. Jay Cutler is a stud. Ask the first 10 teams of the 2006 draft if they could have a do-over, would they take it – they would and they would draft Cutler. Except the Raiders. They’d draft a corner again. Because Al Davis is a read more
Chris Ediger gave me some link love on his ‘new site.’ As Chris said – we’ve known each other a LONG time. We were both no-name youth pastors in small Kansas towns. He’s now a big stud working for famous people. Reading his post I was reminded I still haven’t set up a links/blogs I read more
Tapestry is the dreamchild of my friend Robert. Actually, he’d tell you it’s God’s dream that has consumed him for the past 3 years. It’s a church plant in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. So I’ve been praying for Robert and Pam this week. Would you do the same? In fact – go hit Robert’s blog and read more
For months I had this nagging, hack cough. I finally caved in and went to the doctor… a new doctor. I talked about that experience here. (For which I received so much sympathy…thank you, really…no, I meant it.) Any rate – his prognosis worked. No cough. At least when I remember to take my medicine read more
Dear Raider Nation, It’s been a long time coming but it’s time to tell you the truth. You have a terrible football team. And Al Davis has secretly been the model and voice for that old guy that Pixar uses in all their short films. You know the one I’m talking about? He plays chess read more
What the Broncos will do to the Raiders tonight can only be described as brutal and not suitable for children. The only chance the Raiders have is if Chuck Norris runs out of the tunnel with them. In fact, the Broncos will have to hurry off the field as soon as the game is over, read more
I thought the fall was supposed to be slower than the summer? Saturday was Cooper’s 2nd flag football game of the season. He played quarterback last year and this year he still playing a lot at quarterback but he’s actually getting much better at safety. I’m sure part of that is he has a much read more
What a day/weekend. Cayden is now a big girl at 6. Party started last night at Red Robin. The Davidson’s met us for some awesome burgers and a loud dinner!!! We headed home and enjoyed Amy’s “Flower Cake” creation. Cayden made quite the haul on the birthday this year thanks to all the grandparents. A read more
A Life Group Guide for John is what I’m trying to finish in the next week. This is a sample of what it will look like. What I need is for some of you readers to look at it and critique it, maybe even add some questions of your own to it. I also need read more
Somehow, someway I have just lost every single email address in Thunderbird. What I was going to do today just got changed. UPDATE: I rebooted and they all came back….???? Weird but I am going to backup all of them just to be safe.
Do you remember the last CD you bought – a whole CD – and you listened to every song, all the way through and not once did you skip a song, then when it was over – you immediately played it again? I’ll give you a few minutes. It’s been a while for me too. read more
Monday – Labor Day cook out with our Life Group. We played cornhole, ladder golf, Wii, and saved the universe. Busy day, huh? The world’s 4th cutest baby ever. Last night – Rockies game (free tickets – thanks to Ray for driving, Rowland and Randy for the tickets) with Cooper. Rockies won in 12 innings. read more
What the domination of Clemson really means: 1. That Alabama can get juiced up for a big game and deliver. It was nice to see Alabama respond to the second half opening kickoff going for a touchdown. Last year, that would have sparked a 21-0 run by Clemson and the game either being decided on read more
Never in my life have I crashed landed a plane like I did yesterday. First service was awesome. Great energy, great interaction, and the sermon – if I do say so myself – was very good. (Hopefully, this is the one they put on the web.) Second service was where the crash happened. It started read more
