I have the coolest friends

July 25, 2007

Well. It’s true that I am working a no-brainer job in an office this summer that I could have done without either of the two degrees I’ve worked so hard for; but do not despair, I have very successful friends, including Jina, who is currently writing for Christian Science Monitor. And because bragging is nothing [...]

Book Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

July 24, 2007

It is finished. Sadly. Though appropriately I suppose - good things can’t go on forever or they stop being good. Right? Right.
Well, I won the bet and finished the first six Harry Potter books well before the seventh book came out. The terms of the bet turned out to be Adam cleaning up from dinner [...]

Movie Review: Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix

July 19, 2007

But, as my resolve has softened and my response time has slowed, causing a jam-up in my inbox once again, I’ve signed up once more to receive my daily dose of story.
Here’s today’s:

The Stigma of Soft Rock

July 6, 2007

When I think ‘Soft Rock,’ I am immediately thrown backwards fifteen years to the dentist’s office my brother and I frequented far too often for cleanings, cavities, teeth pullings, and orthodontia  work. Always, there was the local soft rock station playing softly through the speakers, which did nothing to ease the pain involved in the [...]

Writings Page

July 4, 2007

The Writings Page is up and has content on it … amazing!
There’s still some work to be done - other pages and more content, etc. But should you have a hankering for sermons, eat your heart out. I’m preaching this Sunday and next so there’ll be two new ones up in the new few weeks.
And, [...]
