Why I’m Glad Youtube Wasn’t Around When I Was in High School
February 6, 2009
Because my buddy Justin and I would’ve done something like this….frequently:
My favorite part is the kid sitting on the toilet with his guitar…That’s awesome. I can’t laugh too much because J and I spent plenty of time singing in bathrooms when we were younger. You just can’t beat the acoustics.
Here’s one more…just because:
Enjoy…and good luck trying to get some work done the rest of the day! You’re welcome.
How not to do New Year’s Eve
December 30, 2008
From Ray Ortlund’s blog:
Couldn’t help passing this along. Whatever you do, don’t give up on the video….watch it until the end. Trust me…
Personally, I don’t have to worry about this. I’m usually in bed by 10pm on New Year’s Eve, which also happens to be my birthday. I may not be a party animal, but I’m well rested! Happy New Year!

Top 10 things Chewy likes to chew on in the backyard
July 11, 2008
We’ve got the world’s greatest dog named Chewy. If he’s got one minor flaw, it’s that he likes to sneak stuff out of our house into the backyard (his domain) and chew on it. Here’s the top 10 list of things he likes to sneak out of the house and chew on. The rankings are based upon the number of times we’ve had to go get the stuff (1 being the most, 10 the least)…which was really embarrassing before we had a fence and the neighbors got to see all of Chewy’s ‘treasures’. Here we go:
- My underwear: I’m not sure if I should be proud or embarrassed that my underwear is his favorite.
- Catrina’s underwear: Nothing better than picking up my wife’s underwear in the backyard as the neighbors watch.
- Dental Floss: He likes the Glide floss the best.
- Chap Stick: He can’t get enough of the stuff.
- Socks: Male or female, ankle or crew, black or white….he doesn’t discriminate.
- Shoes: Flip-flops are his favorite….easier to get through the doggy door.
- Napkins/Paper Towels: especially if they’ve been used.
- Anything from the bathroom garbage: Would be higher on the list, but we finally got a bathroom garbage with a lid. One of our better investments.
- Pencils/Pens: The best was the time he got the highlighter…..colorful.
- Popsicle sticks: Grape is his favorite flavor.
Kansas City Update….Tuesday Morning
June 17, 2008
Nothing real exciting happening the last couple of days. I’m just trying to stay awake. I’ve pretty much checked out, which is sad since I still have 4 days to go. Spent most of the morning like I’ve spent all the mornings, checking my email and reading the news. I have to pipe up every now and then and ‘contribute’ to the discussion as part of our grade (yes we’re being graded) includes class participation.
Couple quick thoughts on a beautiful Tuesday morning:
1. Saw Indiana Jones last night and enjoyed it. I like that it kept the same spirit as the other movies in the series. Luckily I remembered to wear my Movie Theater Monitor sash last night, as I had to tell the large group of junior high kids sitting behind me and another family to be quiet twice. Junior High kids are nuts.
2. Random sighting of a high school classmate: I’m sitting by the pool at my hotel last night eating dinner (in Kansas City) when all of the sudden I hear a familiar voice ask a group of girls to my right where a good steakhouse might be. It was none other than a guy named Raymond who I went to high school with. I was so shocked I just hid behind my book… The LAST place I would ever expect to run into a high school classmate is sitting poolside at the Holtze Executive Suites in Kansas City. What are the chances?
3. Speaking of pools, parents shouldn’t let their 10 year old daughters wear skimpy bikinis….EVER! Seriously, it’s your daughter! What are you thinking?!? I don’t even know what to say.
4. Finally, there was a recent story on msnbc.com (can’t find it now) about a man changing his name to ‘In God We Trust’, which I thought was kind of fun. To all my readers out there (all 3 of you), if you were to change your name, what would you pick and why? Here are a couple names I’m considering:
- I Hate Kansas City – based upon current feeling only….I’d probably regret it later, kinda like a tattoo of a former lover.
- I Love My Wife - a true statement, and would definitely pay dividends over time (wink wink).
- Never Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth – That’s good advice right there…something we all need to be reminded of….constantly!
Time to contribute again!
His Grace is Sufficient!

Good thing God’s grace covers ALL our sins, otherwise this couple would be in serious trouble….

Here’s my favorite line:
“Last week the bishop celebrated a “Mass of reparation” in the cathedral where the confessional box incident took place to make up for the sacrilege.”
Here’s my question…If the bishop hadn’t taken care of this, would any subsequent confessions that took place in the ’sacrileged’ confessional box count? I guess we don’t have to worry about that…Whew!
Vote for McCain….

(tongue firmly in cheek) Why? Because the Bible says so…
Ecclesiastes 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left (NIV)
