Playing with Garbage

Don’t get me wrong, we’re not made of money, but my kids have way more toys than they actually play with in a year.
But yesterday, I’m replacing some screens in our screen door, and went inside for just a minute to put the fish sticks in the oven.  I return back to my driveway to [...]

Spoken to…..

Mike emailed me yesterday and asked me if I could crank out a chart for a song our team is doing this weekend a The Orchard.
I love transcribing and making chord charts, so a request like this generally a no brainer for me.  The hardest part is generally finding accurate lyrics online so I don’t [...]

Perspective

So you read my last post and get the idea that I might be in some sort of trouble.  Truth be told I’m feeling sorry for myself.  Still hurts, but then it’s all about me.
And then there’s this.
Please forgive my self-centeredness.

Had a hard conversation last night

Heard some stuff that I didn’t want to hear.  Very painful, but more disappointing.  Held back tears then, and holding them back now as I type.
I’m working on accepting that it’s what God has chosen for me.  I trust the person I talked to, because I’ve never been given a reason not to.
I’m a very [...]

Decision Time

Sorry.  It’s been a while since I’ve posted.  No reason really, I just haven’t felt like I have much to say.  Actually, we’ve had a lot of stuff going on with Joni’s health, and she’s done a really good job of posting about it.  Check it out here if you’re interested.
We do however have some [...]

Puncha me ina da face……

Chris Bell punched me in the face yesterday at church, and then I read this.
If you don’t have a bloody nose after reading that, then you’re more together than I am.

Reveal…..

Most of you have probably heard of the study that Willow Creek put together called “Reveal”. In a really bare bones nutshell version, they polled their body and found that the programs (small groups, mens & womens groups, etc.) were not meeting the needs that they thought they were meeting.
I’ve had a couple of [...]

Miracles and answered prayer!

We’ve had two major miracles happen in our household this past week.

This is a picture of the display on our stereo in our truck.  It hasn’t lit up in at least 3 years.  Joni snapped this picture on her phone yesterday.  HEALED!!!! ….. but for how long.
Secondly……..

About a year ago, our 15 1/2 year old [...]

Meet Champ!!

Here he is!!

We adopted him from the DuPage County Animal Control, after we looked at him and 3 other dogs.  He seemed to fit our personality. 
He’s a lab/Rottweiler mix.  His head is obviously Rott, and his body and personality are all Lab.  The shelter figures that he’s about 2 years old.
I’m sure we’ll keep you [...]
