A Blog Apart

Sorry for the delay. work has been crazy.

What does the coincidence of recent postings on ABA with the latest dry spell signal? Have we as Christians lost our imagination? Have we decided that fighting the good fight just isn’t worth our time? Or could it be that we’ve run out of meaningful things to say?
Whatever the case, I […]

Artist: Nick Cannon
Song: Can I Live
I dare you to watch this video and not be moved. I don’t know anything about this guy but I like this song and think the song and video deserve our support. I’ll let the song speak for itself.

Would like to apologize for the recent outage. It was due to circumstances beyond our control. There may be some future outages also which we would like to apologize in advance for.

As a kid I used to watch shows like Leave it to Beaver or Father knows best. The show would usually start with the family around the breakfast table starting their day off with a hearty breakfast and a newspaper and conversation. Whatever happened to that? Was it just a myth or did families actually […]

Reason # 1: they are generally ridiculous in their claims, “if you forward this to x people then good things will happen to you” whatever.
Reason # 2: they are like unto idle chatter, they have little to no value or depth
Reason # 3: they waste my time deleting them
Reason # 4: they clutter my inbox
Reason […]

I could’ve sworn that I saw Jeremy Sexton in the crowd while watching the Cards game. Then five minutes later they panned on the same guy and I was even more convinced. I can’t be right…can I?

How much do you remember from your childhood?  It seems like I have more memories of some things than other people.  When I was young, we lived in TN, out in the country.  We moved away when I was 8 years old and my sister was 7.  I remember so many things from when we […]

something to think about, maybe it’s obvious to others but it has profound impact.
A leader is someone who goes on before. That means that anyone can be a leader.

The signs are all around me.

I get tired at 10:00pm.
I get sick when I never used to.
I have a 10 year old. (example of senility as my wife pointed out I actually have a 9 year old.)

But the Kicker? I cried during Chitty Chitty Bang Bang during the Hidden children scene. What […]

no really, I do!
and I can teach you too. Go here for a description of my favorite move.

I just want to say, that cars are the biggest pain in the neck in the world. thank you for your time.

Well, if all works out as planned…I’ll be moving to the greater St. Louis area. Why? This weekend I had to help with registration at a Campus Ministry workshop and was able to stay the entire time (Friday night through Saturday night) and participate in the activities. People came from Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and Missouri, […]

My Dearest Husband,
You are God’s gift to me.  Ten years ago, we were getting ready for that all important day, August tenth.  Flowers, cake, decorations, even the decision of your tuxedo were deferred to me.  You gave me full power over what everything would look like on that day.  I always asked your opinion, but […]

Hey y’all! I just thought I would say hi to everyone. This is my first term as a writer on ABA, hope I am able to contribute something of value to y’all.
Have a Happy Fourth!

I just need to get this off my chest…

I started an exercise routine today. We got a membership to the Sullivan civic center for the family and they have an indoor pool. So in the spirit of stewardship (as it pertains to the temple of God that is my body) I have started swimming regularly. Well, if I keep it up after today […]

My father-in-law, Norman, is dying of lung cancer. Before you ask, everyone is doing well, be we’ll come back to this. I’m in a really strange place right now, sort of a calm quiet meadow.
I’ve known for a long time that pain and suffering can be, and usually are, tools that God can […]

Okay. So, most of my guy friends when I was at Harding were all Computer Science majors. Okay, maybe all but two…no, they were still Computer Science, they just double majored in Bible, too. Anyway…
…most all of them have great jobs at companies where they program for a living and love it. One in particular, […]

…where you don’t think you have anything to say but end up saying a lot?
They suck.
