Back in 1991 I heard a similar advertisement while driving around with Chuck and Jay. Only the concert was that [...]

On my wrist.
I already know what it will be. I drew it. And, I’ll be able to add more to it throughout the years if I want to.
I have the guy lined up to do it. His name is Ian. He [...]

Yeah, we’re running this deal this week. Why? Lent starts this week. Today is Ash Wednesday, an ancient Catholic tradition that symbolizes the forsaking of self and repentance. There are masses going on all day today at the huge Catholic church in our town. My boss and one of my co-workers are going to [...]

I have been tempted, from time to time, to talk about specific people who have done certain things to me on this blog. What holds me back? I don’t know. I would like to think it is wisdom, but lacking it often makes me think it is something else. Fear? [...]

Book Review – 1
I received an e-mail from Frank Viola asking me to review his book and blog about it on Sojourner. I’ll do anything for a free book, but I still can’t figure out how these guys want me reviewing their books. This is the third book now that I have [...]

I don’t know if I am going to make this into a series or what, but I think I am going to start roughing out all the things that happened to me in my childhood. I had such an AMAZING childhood. I can’t overstate that. I really did. I was telling someone the other day [...]

(A sanguines take on a new movie)
Use your imagination and imagine that whatever you imagine can come to reality. No, not that a million dollars will appear in your bank account. Imagine you’re a kid again and the awkwardness of adolescence is upon you (perish the thought!). Remember how confused you were and how [...]

The guy with the hat on, oh yeah, that’s Bill (the Goat). He is the camp director of a YMCA camp down state where my bro, Watchman, took his youth group. I was there last year (for one of the greatest snow football games ever - seriously). It was there that I met Billy. [...]

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount has been rolling through my head tonight. For some reason I can’t shake it. And, I’m not sure where it came from either, considering that after I put the kids to bed I began to pick up the house while watching a live Keith Urban concert on DVD. [...]

You can’t turn your TV on without hearing about the tragic death of former supermodel/weirdo, Anna Nicole Smith (ANS). I don’t know what is more tragic about her death, the fact that the newsmedia is going nuts about it or that I am slightly addicted to seeing who is the father of her cute [...]

I can’t sleep. I think it’s because of the three Coke’s I drank tonight. I don’t drink soda to much anymore; not since trying to “diet” that is. I have lost 17 pounds since early December. That has mostly come by cutting out pop and eating extra. It certainly hasn’t [...]
