10,000

I noticed I was at 9,995 hits on the blog just now.  This post should put it over 10,000.  A (somewhat) meaningless milestone, but fun nonetheless!  You can see the total hit count on the right side of the blog, the last entry in that column.

Shifting Gears

Now that I’m done with school, I’m having to adjust my schedule and thinking to accommodate the added time in my schedule.  Granted, it won’t be long until I have no time again, but it’s odd to me that I have a harder time getting stuff done now that I have more time.  I’ve spent [...]

I Do So Intend, With The Help of God

Our confirmands stood up yesterday and pledged to continue in the Christian faith with the help of God.  It’s been a fun two years with this group.  It was a joy to be up front and see them as they came up to be confirmed, and then again to be communed with their family for [...]

The End is Now

It was near, now its now.  My last final was the start of a busy day yesterday.  I did well enough on the final to get an A in the course (I think).  I’ll even settle for a B, I’m just excited that I am done with the semester.  I wish things had turned out [...]

Audio From Parenting the Internet Generation

I had some trouble getting the file uploaded, but everything seems to be working now. Here’s the audio from my class this evening in case you missed it and want to listen. More tomorrow when I have more time to write.

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

A Jackie Chan movie?  Nope.  It’s actually a documentary (you have to click through and read the tagline for this movie…).  About Donkey Kong (play online!), and one man’s pursuit of a world record against all odds.  Sound lame?  It’s actually quite good!  I gave it 4 stars out of 5 in my Netflix queue.  [...]

Writing Habits

Seth Godin had an interesting post about some bad habits in his writing, specifically using the word “just” and “sort of” in his writing.  I’m curious if anyone here has noticed what my “bad habits” are while writing on the blog.  I’m trying to cut down on clutter in my posts and would love your [...]

Pictures!

We went to the Falls today with my Father-in-Law and his wife Sue.  I took some pictures to change my “signature” photo from the Easter Lily one I use:

New Signature Photos

Sue posted a pic of the altar from Good Friday service.  Here are some of the ones I took, before I do anything creative with [...]

How Far is Too Far?

I recently finished my 2nd pass through NBC’s Heroes on Netflix Watch Instantly.  In looking for other movies to watch, I came across the original Superman movie.  I remember watching it when I was younger.  It’s been almost 30 years since it was released.  I remembered it being a fun movie growing up so I [...]
