I can’t remember the last time I actually broke a hundred in bowling, let alone beat my wife. Just thought I’d let the blogosphere know about my bowling victory

Ever wondered how to get your blog noticed? Wonder no more! Derek Punsalan has a great post on his blog about getting your blog, and more importantly, your words noticed and read. I’ve been meaning to write a post like this for some time now, but it appears that Derek has beat me to it. Happy advertising!

Ever have one of those terrifying dreams that sent your heart racing, your body shaking, and your clothes drenched in sweat? I was awakened to such circumstances only it wasn’t a dream, it was a scream from my newborn niece. My body was aching and I was sweating from the humidity and heat of the […]

Like the Vogons of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I find myself buried under a pile of paperwork! Society has forms for everything-credit cards, returns, releases, rentals, dental, registrations, and sometimes we come up with forms for silly activities like pie-eating contests. This morning I pulled out a packet for school. The very first page […]

i can’t wait

One of the hardest things about Christianity, I believe, is patience. We’ve all heard the phrase, “wait on God, He has the perfect plan and all will work out best in His timing.” I don’t know about you, but whenever my parents told me to wait I would just get annoyed and wonder why. Is […]

“If you feed them, they will come.” I find it interesting that our stomachs can dictate our actions, but at the same time we do not take the time to actually enjoy what we are eating. One of the things I miss most about Italy is the dining experience. We spent about 2 hours for […]

Ever since I’ve been back from Italy I’ve been looking for the perfect cappuccino cup (pictured here). You see, my good friend Robbie gave us a great espresso machine as a wedding gift, and I’ve yet to use it because I didn’t have the right cups. You may think me crazy, but drinking coffee, especially […]

more hiking required

Monira and I spent a couple of hours yesterday hiking up a nice little trail at Brighton’s ski resort. During our short hike, I realized how detached I had become from God’s great creation—I can’t even remember the last time that I had been hiking. I was reminded why some people actually spend time in […]

I realize it’s been quite some time since I’ve update my ever-so-dilapidated blog, but I thought I’d go ahead and share some shots from our wedding and honeymoon. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as we enjoyed taking them! […]

the things you find in iPhoto

I was going through my pictures today in iPhoto and came across a slideshow I had put together shortly after I returned from Cambodia last year, and since I have a ton of bandwidth my hosting service affords me every month, I thought I’d go ahead and post it here for your viewing enjoyment. Note: In […]
