A group from our church ran the Race Against Time 5k yesterday. Although I've never run anything before (not even track in high school), it was fun. I got to run with friends and catch up afterwards with others. That's the good news. The bad news is I ran the course in 29:26. (9th in [...]
Good times today. Heather left early this morning to take our older son on his first Kindegarten field trip, so I brought our younger son in to Wee Ones (think: Mother's Day Out…) at 9am. I figured I'd drop him off, run to the office and catch up on some phone calls, emails, and event [...]
My buddy Lance (www.emergingunderground.blogspot.com) recently sent me the following bio of a friend named Eileen. Her comments are really thought provoking and revealing: "I have a pain that dwells within that I have yet to find a cure for. 20 years of serving God has yet to find me that glove that so perfectly fits [...]

In one of my Saturday sessions with the ever-enlightening Tony Jones, we discussed some new research (and its implications) regarding data collected by The Commission on Children at Risk (an independent, jointly sponsored initiative of YMCAof the USA, Dartmouth Medical School, and the Institute for American Values).

I've been a casual runner for a long time (2-3 miles every few days…just so I can keep my Chuy's and Starbucks [...]
Part One. Part Two. Part Three. “Have you ever had to worry about THIS? I don’t have the muscle strength to lift a FORK to feed myself! If I trip and fall down, how am I gonna get back up?!?! Jesus is still there for me!” yelled Scott. Dave rolled up his other sleeve, [...]
(Part One here) In time, we became inseparable. Mealtimes. Skipping chapel. Late night runs to Whataburger or The Hot Biscuit. Dave and I really connected with each other. Our love of music and philosophy and our disdain for the evangelical bubble of our school were our bonds. I went home for Thanksgiving. Dave stayed in [...]
A few days ago I was up begrudgingly @ 6am, working on my third cup of Halle Berry coffee. I’m sitting in front of my computer screen trying to work up the inertia to get back into my exercise regime, when I stumble back across a blog account of a college girl, Natala, entitled “Jesus [...]
