Taking A Break

I’m on vacation. Well, technically it doesn’t start until tomorrow afternoon since I’m on the team tomorrow morning (even then I’m only playing electric). Anyway, point is, I’m taking a break. I’ll be in Morro Bay with family this week and I’ve got a few goals for myself: 1) Spend some quality time with my [...]

Alarms

Here are the alarms on my phone: I don’t use that top one anymore.

Housesitting

Sarah and I have been housesitting this week and I left the laptop at home, so I haven’t had much time to work on any “real posts.” (Posts written on my phone just don’t seem “real” to me) So I apologize if this week leads to more lame posts (ie: how to open a banana). [...]

My Fingernails Are Blue

My fingernails are blue today because I cleaned the corrosion off of my car’s battery posts. While that may seem like a small thing, I’m not what you would call handy (this happened right after I paid people to change the oil and wash the car) so I’m somewhat proud of myself. We’ll see if [...]

What’s Going On

I’m not much of a private person.  I pretty much tell it like it is.  I wear my life on my sleeve.  I’m not embarrassed to talk about the things I’m facing.  I’m not afraid to talk about how I feel. Not everyone is like that. So, tonight, while I really want to blog about [...]

Doing More/Accomplishing Less

Okay.  I’ll be the first to admit it.  This blog has been a complete waste of server space for about 2 weeks now. Eventually I’ll get back into the rhythm of posting regularly.  And those posts will be meaningful, insightful, creative and funny. This, however, will be none of those. I feel like we’ve been [...]

Thoughts on Mattress Shopping

Sarah and I have been sleeping on an old hand-me-down mattress that… well… has seen better days. Since we’re both tired of lower back pain and poor sleep we decided to go mattress shopping yesterday.  Here’s what we learned: If you test a $4,000 Swedish Temperpedic bed chances are “normal” mattresses (ie: those in your [...]

Wednesday Night

It’s Wednesday night and I’m worn out. I should be sleeping. But it’s 9:45 and I haven’t blogged in awhile, so I might as well try.  It’s been hard to figure out how blogging fits in with the new job and everything.  I just don’t have the free time I used to have… So I’m [...]

Snot Rags

I’m sick today.  Well… I was sick yesterday too.  But, yeah… It’s not fun. It’s either a cold or severe allergies.  Either way, it’s causing my nose to produce gallons of snot.  Which is why I use one of these: I know, I know.  They’re pretty gross.  Most people hate them.  But I’ve always used [...]

I Fear My Faithlessness

Please read this post and this post first. God is faithful to us.  We are called to be faithful to Him.  We I still struggle with doubt.  Here’s my journal from April 16th: …perhaps what scares me most isn’t the question of how we can live–there are lots of ways to put bread on the [...]
