So, what do you do during your last summer vacation before getting married?
Lately I’ve been playing a good bit of Settlers of Catan online through s3dconnector.net – their interface has stabilzed quite a bit over the past couple of years, and the site is a lot more popular than it was a while back. [...]
At breakfast this morning, I was reading Psalm 50, and I came across the same idea twice:
Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High.
Psalm 50:14
But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honors me. If you keep to my path, I will reveal to you the [...]
Tara and I went down to Cincinnati last night to meet up with Mike and Connie Sandelin and see the Indians beat the Reds with stellar pitching and a home run from C.C. Sabathia. It was exciting! I taught Tara how to keep score, so we had some fun, especially with a Reds’ [...]
So, last weekend Tara and I were in Pennsylvania visiting her family, and at one point we stopped off at Ollie’s, a store where you can get a lot of stuff for cheap. I found myself at the computer game section, because hey, you never know what might be out there. Sure enough, [...]
In the past 24 hours (ok, call it 28), I have …
been moved by a speaker about ministry to Muslims
had a serious conversation with my fiancee about our relationship
bought wedding bands
eaten four pieces of pizza
moved a seminary friend across town
prepped a drenched softball infield for a game by shoveling infield dirt
played a 7 on 7 [...]

Islam is one of [...]
I love playing softball. It was a little chilly for this evening’s game, but I love playing the game. I almost like playing third base, too … just because you have the opportunity to make some plays there.
Tonight, we played against a church that we should have beat. After two innings, things [...]
Well, I’ve bit the cultural bullet, so to speak. Last Friday Tara ordered me a Verizon cell phone to go with hers on a “family plan” where we share so many minutes per month. It came by FedEx yesterday, and today’s been a fun day of talking to people on the Verizon network [...]
I’ve found a new cheap ISP … something to keep me afloat for the next two months until the wedding. Access4less is going down this month, as will eventually be the case with all free/cheap ISPs, including this new one. But all2easy.net offers (for now) unlimited access for $4.95 a month.
I think the [...]
This is one of my favorite things to do, but only when it works right. Today I got a bank statement in the mail and sat down to balance the old checkbook (down to the last penny, interjects Tara..and accurately so). But then I realized that somehow I never balanced the checkbook at [...]
