Right now, 20 feet from me… is the motherload of Halloween candy. We’ve been told that our block gets hundreds of trick-or-treaters so over the last couple of weeks we’ve been gathering more and more candy. Well, yesterday Kristen decided to put all of that candy in a big laundry basket on the porch to…

Here is my profound thought for Saturday morning: Whoever invested the coffee press, he’s a flippin’ genius. I could never make good coffee with our old Mr. Coffee coffee maker. Even if I followed the directions, set the timer, walked away, and came back at the perfect time… my coffee always sucked. But with the…

A private joke between my wife and I has now officially gone public. For the past year or so Kristen has been hooked on allrecipes.com. I don’t really know what she does there… but I know she goes there a lot and spends a lot of time looking at recipes. So much so that I…

As of this moment, Kristen and I have no credit card debt. Incredible! I don’t even remember how we got in that mess to begin with. (8 years ago) But we are now out of it. The only debt we currently have is “good debt” of our house. But that is a bigger project. Praise…

Ah man… we were excited for this thing to start… but the non-stop jack hammers and heavy equipment outside the building is a real drag. Half the time we can’t even hear ourselves think. Just about 2 months until it’s done. Ugh!

About a year and a half into this… The monthly Concert of Prayer and Pizza night is finally starting to mature into it’s own thing. Last night was our best yet. Again, what I love about these things is that I have little to do with them. The worship team plans and executes almost the…

I’ll post some pics later on… but last night we had a great time at the Tomlin/Redman/Giglio concert. I was able to get rid of about 24 tickets before the concert started for the MILLIONS of people who couldn’t go. Of course, I didn’t get full price for them… but I figured $10 was better…

A Wednesday morning shout out to Joy in Tulsa. She’s a lurker, not a commenter.

This morning 5 students are starting a secret mission. This mission, titled Operation C, is simple in it’s goal and extremely complex to complete. I can’t go into the details. But please pray for them as they look for opportunities. From this point on, it’s a God thing. Luke 5:14, “Suppose one of you has…
