What Good Works?
I’m a rubber meets the road kind of guy. I want to know the big picture early on in a discussion. And I want to know what I’m being asked to do. Perhaps that is why I’ve always wrestled with Ephesians 2:8-10. For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith– and…

Weekend Review
I’m still amazed at how much fun we can have in a weekend. It’s been since high school that I’ve had weekends off so consistently. Love it! Friday night, we stayed home and rested. With temperatures in the 100s most of last week, the kids had been stuck in the house a lot. I’d even…

Sunday Normalness
Pretty much every Sunday is the same for our family. It’s our new normal and we love it. For the first time in my adult life I have weekends off… and I’m still enjoying the novelty of it. Here’s what a typical Sunday looks like. 7:00- Everyone up. We don’t set alarms, but we all…

Back to School Day!
For our kids, today is the first day back to school from winter break. Since they are on a year-round schedule their last day was December 19th. Kristen and I are especially thankful for our flexible work situations. I have the opportunity to work from home at least a day per week and so does…

Websites for the kids
Today I finally acted on something I’ve been meaning to do for more than a year. I registered both of our kids names as domains. MeganMcLane.com PaulMcLane.com Now, I don’t know if this is for everyone. But for me it makes sense on a lot of fronts. #1 I can buy today for $10 what…
