We think we’ve found it
We’re at that 99% point in the house search. We think we’ve found a place in the city of San Diego that will work for us. It’s pretty small, only has two bedrooms. But it has several upsides as well. Well maintained, (a rarity for rentals in this area for some reason.) nice yard, pet…

Buyers market vs. Sellers market
Yesterday was a bit of a shock to the system. It’s not until you leave the Detroit area that you see just how different it is from SoCal. In many ways, the area seems oblivious to the deep recession (I’d call it borderline depression. If not economically, definitely on the psyche of the area.) Walking through…

Move Update
With the move just a few weeks away I thought it would be good to give a quick update on our move. The Romeo House. We had a flurry of showings last week and only one this week. No offers, not much we can do, just keep waiting for God to reveal His plan. We…

Finding a church home: The Prize
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s look at the grand prize and see what churches in San Diego would get if they won the McLane lottery. The total package. This family of four churchgoers label themselves as “contributors.” They won’t just be bumps on a log at your church, they will give it everything they’ve got. Adam…

Stoney’s Diet
If I’ve done the math correctly, Stoney needs to lose about 10 pounds before we move to San Deigo. If his crate and Stoney weigh less than 70 pounds, he costs about $350 to ship. If he is 71 pounds or more, he’s $480. Of course, we are taking him either way, but $130 is…

Brave things
Today we booked everything for our upcoming trip to San Diego. That’s right, I said “we.” The whole family is making the trip out to check out houses and get excited about the move. We leave in less than two weeks and will be gone for 8 days. After that it’ll be less than 2…

Santa = George W. Bush
I don’t know what the rest of you did with your economic stimulus plan checks, but Kristen and I spent it. We were irresponsible, reckless, and unspiritual about it. We just flat out blew it on stuff we wanted. Easy come, easy go baby! Let me also say, I don’t know about you haters, but any…

Paul is Dangerous
I see a ton of myself in him. But Paul is also himself quite unique. My son is awesome and I love spending little glimpses of time with him, just the two of us. Sometimes his shyness comes off as being obstinate. When he’s backed into a corner he squirms away. When everyone stares at…

Because I’m pretty much amazing
It’s impossible to wrap-up five years of ministry. There are too many memories. Too many good times. Too much fun. Too many 6:00 AM Bible studies. Too many tough times. Too many scary phone calls. But you can try. And some of my former students did a very nice job putting together this video for…
