Stay Loose
"Stay loose…" -Jesus
Really? Well, yes and no. There’s no doubt that the impending election and the current financial crisis is on all our minds.

Nothing in Common?
Recently I’ve made a new friend. Let’s call him ‘Gary’ (not his real name, of course).
Our kids are in the same class, so we got to hang out together on a field trip last week. I’ve seen Gary many times before, we’ve made small-talk waiting for the school bell in the afternoons. But last [...] -
Moving Out: From Me-Ville to Thee-Ville

Tales from the Dad Side, #32
If you’ve been following me on Twitter (you haven’t? shame…you’re missing out!), you know by now that Heather and I are expecting a baby this April.
I recently got to attend a field trip with our 5-year-old and my long-time friend (now our Children’s Pastor), John Woods to a local Dino Park. John was talking [...]
