Right now, I’m sitting in the airport in Washington, D.C. I’ve seen enough posters and shirts for Barack Obama and John McCain to do me. Though I am tempted to buy the shirt of being scared of Hillary Clinton.
But that’s besides the point.
Some of the regular readers of the blog will note that I am [...]
Well, the game has begun.
After three days of rest in the mountains of West Virginia, I’m now in the hot and steamy atmosphere of Birmingham, Alabama. It’s been a long day so far. Then again, anytime you get up at 4 a.m., to travel by air its never going to be an easy day.
It’s been [...]
It’s almost game day!
This time tomorrow I will be somewhere flying between Cincinnati and Birmingham, Alabama. Don’t worry, I’m not as scared about flying this time. Just not looking forward to the 4 a.m., wake-up call to make my 6:50 a.m., flight. One of these days they’ll have cars that can fly. I hope. It [...]
To celebrate the conclusion of our first year of seminary, one of my friends and I decided to head up to the local theater (which means we went to Lexington) to watch the midnight showing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull. The movie is the long awaited fourth edition of the adventures [...]
I’ve written here numerous times about my struggles with my weight. I’ll drop a few pounds and then just as quickly as I lost the weight, I’ll gain it right back.
The last few days I’ve been really thinking about this and realized where the problem was in my approach to losing weight. I was never [...]
One down, several more steps to go.
Yesterday, I received the long-awaited approval from my home church’s SPRC. It is just one of many votes of approval that I will need over the next few years to complete my ordination process. The next vote of approval should come from the full charge conference of the church [...]
So, I’m sitting where I’ve been camped out all weekend. It’s quiet. No one is around. Everyone has left to go ride bikes on this glorious morning.
I’m just left here to ponder my thoughts and prepare myself. It’s just worship, I remind myself, it’s nothing different. But, today is different. It’s SPRC Day.
Today, I go [...]
When I think back to reflect on what will soon be the completion of my first year at seminary - finals begin today and conclude Wednesday morning - I’m amazed at how well the opening line to Charles DIckens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities is an applicable description.
It was the best of times, it [...]
There is a lot going on in the world, the country, and life in general, so here are an assorted collection of thoughts on them all:
It’s beyond understanding, to me, how far dictators will go to remain in power. We are seeing evidence of that in Myanmar where it has taken 10 days for the [...]
Today, I voluntarily took myself to the doctor.
This is something I don’t like to do. I don’t enjoy going to the doctor as they usually enjoy charging me high prices to tell me I am sick. That and I don’t like all the poking at my sides.
But, I couldn’t help it today. I’ve been having [...]
