Glad to be back

Aug

31

2006

It’s always fun to get away and go on vacation, but it always seems just as nice to be back home.We just returned from a little day-and-a-half trip to Erie, with our friends, Darrin and Krista. To call them our “food friends” I think would not fully describe our relationship, but I will say that ...

Reminder

Aug

10

2006

The happenings this morning in England are a reminder of the increasingly crazy world that we live in. A reminder that we can’t just sit back and assume that everything will go back to normal. A reminder that there are people who are bent on two things: the destruction of Israel, and the destruction of ...

Older Brother Syndrome?

Aug

2

2006

If you haven’t read the parable of the Prodigal Son, you should. Check out Luke 15:11-32 in any version of the Bible. Am I an older son? No. I am an only child, but recently I realized that I suffer from what I like to call “Older Brother Syndrome,” which has nothing to do with ...

The Beauty of Babies

Jul

2006

Life changes. It’s a fact, we can’t avoid it even when we want to. Like yesterday, I held a newborn baby for the first time I can remember. I don’t know what it is about babies, but they scare me. Maybe scared isn’t the best word. How about intimidate? They seem so small, so fragile, ...

About Me: My Job

2006

So I figured I would share a little bit about myself in this post today. I am a Search Engine Marketer / Search Engine Optimizer / lots of other things. Let’s start with Search Engine Marketing. That’s the simple (or most of the time simple) part of what I do. Have you ever done a ...

My Blog

Jul

2006

I’ve noticed lately that I don’t really post much “personal” stuff on here. Sure I talk about my opinions regarding politics, etc., but nothing to connect to on a deeper level than that. I hope to change that soon. Received some news yesterday that I want to write about when I can wrap my head ...

Peace in the Middle East? 1

Jul

13

2006

Will there ever be peace in the Middle East? In a word – no. Well, let me clarify that answer. There will be peace in the Middle East, but only after Jesus returns. Don’t believe me, check the Bible – it’s all there. Israel has been promised certain land by God. They are God’s chosen ...

Penalty Kicks

Jul

1

2006

I just finished watching Portugal defeat England on penalty kicks. We really have nothing like penalty kicks (I guess except for a shootout in hockey) like them in American sports, at least that I can think of. There is an incredible amount of pressure on players in the World Cup. Although we Americans might not ...

Site Update

Jun

2006

Well, I went ahead and updated the site, yet again. I can’t seem to pick whether I want the posts to be in a separate Blog section or just right on the main page of the site. For readability sake, I decided to just have the Blog on the main page. That’s pretty much what ...

Flag Burning Ammendment

Jun

28

2006

Today I read that a proposed Constitutional Ammendment preventing burning and/or desecration of the American flag failed to make it through the Senate by 1 vote. Now, I don’t know how I feel on if there should be a law or not, but if you are a citizen of this great country, why on Earth ...
