The Well

I have been drinking off and on for the past year or more from the cool, freshing, challenging, loving waters of Jacob’s Well. My friends, Jonathan and Kathy Mays are entering a new, well I don’t know what to call it, with Jacob’s Well, and while it may seem like so much is changing [...]

Christianity Re-imagined

While going through some books the other day I came across Doug Paggit’s Church Re-Imagined. I enjoyed that book along with Preaching Re-Imagined. It got me thinking about Christianity Re-Imagined. (his blog has links to his books)
I’m ready to begin (as if I haven’t been doing so already) exploring where I am spiritually [...]

Pondo Compliments

Jean friggin kills me! She’s so goofy, it’s hilarious. Anyway, she did something today and then said something about someone else that made me loose it.
And, I mean, I lost it! I haven’t laughed that hard in I don’t know how long. So, as I am on the ground laughing uncontrollably, [...]

Introducing…Laura

With long anticipation, I would like everyone to give a warm blogging welcome to Laura. I’m not sure how excited she’s going to be to find herself gracing my blog, but my blog could use her gracing - and so could the rest of the world. To those of you who have not yet [...]

Happy Father’s Day

Every boy wants to be his dad.
Being a dad that’s a lot of weight on your shoulders.
But, our shoulders were meant to carry that weight.
We can be what our kids need to grow up to be.
We have to be…who else will? Who else should have to?
For those of you who are carrying and being [...]

Kodak EasyShare

I am working on installing my Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera stuff so I can upload photos and get busy making memories! As soon as you see them then you’ll know I got it working…

Home Again, Home Again

It seems that my house has stayed the same all week. Perhaps that is because I have failed to spend much time in it? I have simply been gone all week. I have worked till 8pm or later every night, and when I have not been working I have been gone. [...]

The Gift

Last night I was given something very special; something I am not worthy to carry. But, the person who gave it to me thinks I am. She thinks I am the greatest guy in the world.
So, I have one fan. Two, counting my mom. Three and four counting my sisters.
ANYWAY. [...]

Kobe Comes East

What if Kobe comes to New York? Does NY offer him a better situation than LA? Doubt it. What if he went to Chicago? Either way, Kobe in the East, along with Wade and LeBron…Deee-troit Basketball is in some serious trouble, folks.

Hannibal

Silence of the Lambs…
Hannibal Rising…
Red Dragon…
Tonight, Hannibal.
Been watching the Hannibal movies here of late. Watch Rising and Red Dragon in the past week. Gonna watch Hannibal tonight.

Too Fast

Someone once told me that they thought I would be married within a very short period of time after my divorce because “you need someone in your life, Toby.”
While I would like to baulk at that and say, “No, I don’t, I’m my own man!” I can’t. I do need someone in [...]

The Children of Hurin

My mom got me Tolkien’s new book (even though he is dead) for my birthday. Which is awesome because a) who isn’t a fan and b) I was just thinking the other day that I needed some new fiction to plow through. Thanks mom!

Taking a breather…

My day off today. Boy is it nice out!
The kids and I planted the garden today. I still have some room for some more plants, so in the next week or so I’ll be planting some more. I’ve got the usuals and then I also planted some herbal stuff this year (something [...]
