No Comments »The Cubs = Killing Me.
Are killing me. I always go to see the Cubs play when they are in Philly. Last night I went again and they lost. Again. I have never actually seen them win in Philly. I am going again today, hoping for a better result. (It’s even worse when you go with a bunch of friends who are Phillies fans).

No Comments »Suburbia
This is a post by Paul Fromont of Prodigal Kiwi about that fact that he is called to the suburbs. It sounds eerily familiar to my paper but I promise I didn’t read this before I wrote my paper.

By the way, that really, really cute Guatemalan kid at the top of my blog is my son. We’re in the process of adopting him and hope to have him home in 4-6 weeks (today is March 27th). We can’t wait to bring him home! Read more about it here.

No Comments »A helpful perspective on evangelism
This is a very, very helpful perspective on evangelism from Andrew Hamilton in Australia. I feel he has a pretty good balance here in looking at friendship in evangelism and just simply sharing our hope (my alternative to saying “sharing our faith”)

No Comments »Blogging Status part deux
I am only blogging when I feel like it and when it’s a natural extension of things I am already thinking or doing. I am done trying to “be a blogger” and am now fine with being “a guy who blogs.” So, don’t expect much, but do feel free to subscribe to my RSS feed so you can know when I update something.

Here is a great resource for creating an HTML signature block in outlook. I had to host the images for the signature block I working on our server, but it worked like a charm.

1 Comment »Kid on Highway?
Some stories are just too crazy to believe. A kid playing on a highway? Seriously? We have to go through this crazy process (which costs over $25000) to adopt a kid that has no home and this woman can just have kids at will. While i am obviously not advocating for it to cost people to have children…something is a little screwy!

I’m a big fan of living intentionally and there is currently a big gap between my theory and my practice. This post is a great reminder that a little discipline is very helpful. Thanks for the great challenge “Timothy.”

Goodbye Allen Iverson. While I will always be a Bulls fan first, I’ve grown to care about the Sixers for the 10 years I’ve been here. And strange enough, I’m actually going to miss Iverson here…
