Jesus and the Empty Tomb
This was a video from our service today. We shot this at Roth Muir. For those not in Romeo this is one of the two funeral homes in town. It was the perfect location for this short video as it drove home our point perfectly. Services went great today. I’ll probably say more later. But…

Pancake Saturday Expands to Stoney
We have a spoiled dog. Stoney, our family yellow lab, loves our children most for their leftovers. There is almost nothing that Stoney won’t eat so he patiently waits for Megan & Paul to finish knowing there is a likelihood his bowl will acquire what’s left. But in the last two weeks Kristen has taken…

Sticker Shock
Kristen handed me something labeled “assessment” from Bruce Township. My heart sank a little bit as I read it. When this arrived in 2007 I learned that our house had been assessed at about $20,000 more than we paid for it in 2005. While typically, this is a good thing. In Michigan there just wasn’t…

Megan the Mimic
Last night we treated our kids to a “nice restaurant” as we took them to Olive Garden. While our kids have been well versed in how to act at McDonald’s, Chilis, Buffalo Wild Wings, and every local eatery in Romeo they weren’t quite sure what to do at a place with opera music and cloth…

Valentines Day
Yep, it’s that day again. You know, the day of the year when men frantically run to Hallmark on their lunch hours to pick up that ultra-special card that expresses deep love in a shallow world. Here’s a rant I posted 3 years ago today about Valentines Day. Today is slightly more subdued. The kids…

Money Management Lesson from Paul
Paul, 4 years old, is learning about money management on WebKinz. Dad: What’s the secret to saving all that money? Paul: You just have to stop spending money. And then you’ll have a lot. Pretty good advice. What is your money management lesson?

Snow day
No complaints today, we got dumped on last night. At our house we got about 10 inches or so. It was a weird snow too as it slushed all afternoon yesterday and then as it got colder the snow got more and more fluffy. Kristen loves to shovel, so she jumped out there early this…

Out of commission
I made it through church today running tech at both services and the rehearsal. By the time the second service started I was feeling really bad. Somehow I made it through the worship set and then I went and crashed during the message. (Heard it in the first service!) After church I had Kristen drop…

Webkinz addicts
Our kids got Webkinz for Christmas. If you don’t have kids you probably have no idea what this is. Let me explain. You purchase a Webkinz stuffed animal. They are roughly the same size as a beenie baby, maybe a tad bigger. On the tag is a Webkinz registration code. Basically, you register that stuffed…
