Right now I still don’t have a job. Like many Americans I am unemployed. And a very bright side of being unemployed these past few months has been the significant amount of time I’ve gotten to spend with my boys. My wife and I have, hands down, the best four boys on the planet (no [...]

Have you found yourself, as I have, hesitant to embrace new shows? When a show you loved gets hacked after one season (or worse, mid-season!) you grumble and curse the network under your breath. “How can you cut _____________, but keep trash like ______________ on the air!?!?!” And then, when it happens again… and again… [...]
New Eyes to See the Old

I grew up in Oregon. Where it’s green, lush, and there’s always something beautiful to see. Whether it’s the towering green of the ever present pine, or the amber and orange of the autumn altering maples, or any number of creeks, rivers, mountains or hills. In almost any direction you drive there is an ever [...]

CLOSING THE DOOR ON 5 YEARS The sun has not yet come up on this, my second to last morning here in Arizona. Before the land of the sun reminds me why it’s so great to live here this time of year, I sit here at my kitchen table, amidst yet-to-be-packed clutter, and hope my [...]

Back in March, quasi-controversial Pastor Rob Bell released a fully-controversial book titled Love Wins. In it, Bell asked questions pertaining to heaven, hell, and the fate of everyone who ever lived. Thanks to a couple blogs and tweets before the book was even released, a maelstrom of words commenced, causing quite the stir. Today, another [...]
Taking a Break from Blogging

Starting this fall, I will be enrolling at Fuller Theological Seminary to pursue a Masters of Theology degree. As such, I will be placing my extra time and energies (I have those?) in to my school work, and so my blog will probably lay dormant for a while. I encourage you to check out the [...]

Posted in Africa, Culture, Music, Uncategorized on July 5, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The (rough) City of Ganta With the familiarity of Yekepa behind us, we traveled over two hours to the admittedly rough town of Ganta. Ganta seems to be one of those sorts of places where you feel slightly uncomfortable during the day, and once night falls, you should probably just stay indoors. We arrived at [...]
