Coffee-O-Matic From Yester-year

While visiting my folks in Shreveport this past weekend, we helped my mom go through and get rid of some of the stuff she’s had in a storage building behind her house. In the process, we got to take home whatever treasures we discovered.
One of the “treasures” Leona and I discovered was a “stainless [...]

Wednesday Weigh-In #3

The Weigh-in:
Today’s “weigh-in” took place at Leona’s folks’ house in Oklahoma.  Unfortunately, the scales used today were inaccurate and faulty scales can really mess you up.  So I have no accurate weight numbers to announce today.
That is, unless I really did gain 11 pounds since last Wednesday.  Um…no.
Turning the 20 pack into a 6 or 8 pack:
Last [...]

Last week: 45 3/4 inches
This week: 45 1/2 inches ….Uh…yeah. But heck, [...]

And Then the Unthinkable Happened Again…

Well, folks, I’m really sorry for leaving you hanging on my blog this week! I actually intended to post it on Monday, but some other deadlines ended up pushing my opportunity to blog into the late night hours. By then, I was too tired to type straight.
So in order to not delay [...]

Major Announcement Next Week…

Leona and I have major news to share with you.
Next Steps. Next Week.

One Mad Christmas

Many of you know that Leona and I wrote a dramatic Christmas musical called, “One Mad Christmas” that we presented at our church the year before we became Church Planters. It is the typical but not-so-typical “dinner theater” type of musical that is meant to be performed by live musicians.
It was written for [...]

Lord of the Mood Swings

As 2006 drew to a close, this scene from “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” described my mood quite well.

Today my mood is more like a combination of Gandalf and Theodin in this scene from “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.” (To about 4:10 or so, [...]
