Over the weekend we loaded up the van and did a whirlwind tour of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.  While Oklahoma was fascinating, Kansas had to be the most exciting landscape we saw during the five days we were on the road.  While I regret not being able to see the 37-inch donkey advertised just east [...]

Today is our 19th wedding anniversary and Tonya and I will be celebrating by driving through parts of Oklahoma and Kansas.  I would say she has put up with me for nineteen years but the truth is … it’s closer to twenty-one when you factor in the dating years.  It has been an amazing time [...]

Later this week we’ll pack up the kids and drive to Arkansas.  I’m especially looking forward to the long, lonely stretches through Kansas.  I hear they have Holiday Inn somewhere in Kansas.
We’re going to Arkansas to celebrate Tonya’s grandmother’s 90th birthday.  Many of her relatives from her mom’s side will be with us at Petit [...]

Hope and I went to our first NFL game last night: Broncos vs. Giants.  While I’m not a fully converted Broncos fan (too much sand left between my toes), I’m definitely NOT a New York Giants fan.  The atmosphere (sans the drunk guy directly behind Hope) was fun and exciting.  We were blessed to have [...]

In the spirit of Thanksgiving more than turkey, I thought I’d share a few words of thanks.  No particular order, but each is important.

Thank you … to my parents for raising me with good values, good humor, and a good foundation.  You may be gone but your memory is alive and well.
Thank you … to [...]

A number of years ago I came across an album by Randy Stonehill that had a song called “Turning Thirty.”  Part of it went like this:
Well, now thirty ain’t like fifteen
And it’s not like twenty-five
My back’s a little stiff
And there’re some lines around my eyes
But I’ve still got my energy
And I’ve got most of my [...]

I’ve been nursing a headache since yesterday morning.  Since about 8:35 yesterday morning.  No need to speculate what caused this headache; it was self-inflicted.
I was nearing the end of my workout routine and decided to try a new machine.  It was an arm curl machine, the kind with a handle attached to a cable.  I [...]

Our Mountainview church office is closed on Fridays so Tonya and I have been spending our Fridays together – usually at thrift stores and new restaurants.  After tracking down a few stores, we’ll hit a new spot for lunch.  Two weeks ago we stumbled upon Moe’s BBQ in Englewood.  Besides having great BBQ, catfish, and [...]

I enjoyed a great workout this morning.  One of the perks of living in Highlands Ranch is membership at the local recreation centers.  My routine: walk five laps (a half-mile), hit the elliptical machine for 25 minutes, and then do a series of weight machines.  It makes for a good sweat.  On weekdays, I’ll drop [...]

Came across an interesting website for men’s ministry.  It’s called “Letters from Dad.”
