Well - here we go again...
I have not posted to the blog in soooo long. But since the TB Rays are in the ALCS I figured I would change my avatar to their logo - at least until they are done this season. Here's hopin they win....
Okay I'm more than a little irratated. I'm not a big fan of the Olympics but once in a while I'll watch an event just for nostalgia's sake. (When I was a kid my sport was swimming - and so once every four years - during the olympics I'll watch an event or two.) So Michael Phelps gets his...
My biggest complaint about many of the books about the Amish is that they contain little theological or spiritual meat. I don't think I'm alone in asserting that my interest in the Amish doesn't stem upon their farming abilities or how they fit into the rest of society from a sociological point...
I know there are a lot of reasons why people like to keep blogs. But I think most people write blogs under the premisis that someone, somewhere is going to read it.
So it is under that premisis that I make this plea to my fellow bloggers out there to keep their comments block open to readers...
USA Today released the pre-season coach's rankings this week. Unfortunately FSU was not among the top 25 - and I believe it is the first time FSU has not been in the preseason top 25 since USA Today started doing the polls in the 80's. I'm not surprised and am really not dissapointed. I'm glad...
2 out of 4 STARS
The movie this week was X-Files and wow - what a bitter disappointment. Back in the early 90s my wife and I watched the show religously. I can remember it being a part of our Sunday evening routine - and have fond memories of experiencing the adventures of FBI agents Fox...
We took the kids to Sesame Place on Friday and it just wasn't a fun time. We went primarily for our three year old - so it was already a given that our 15 and 11 year old boys were not going to like it. They were troopers though - and tried to enjoy the time for their sister.
The park just...
I'm no country music fan (I find it boring) but my wife is a HUGE country music fan, so when an email from the USO - offering free tickets to Kenny Chesney's "Poets and Pirates" tour that took place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly yesterday - hit my work computer Friday afternoon it was her...
WARNING - SMALL SPOILER AT END OF THE REVIEW - READ ON WITH CAUTION
Five out Five STARS!
I slid out of work early yesterday to go see Batman The Dark Knight - a movie that I had quite frankly been waiting a year to see now. I wasn't Disappointed!
The movie is action packed - and...
In months and years past I used to be a frequent poster over at Sempor Reformada and when it became apparant that my personal views on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that they have not ceased put me in a distinct minority and that all of my scriptural exegis to support my view was either...
...I hate to say I called this back in March. But I called it! Farve wants to come back to play and he really doesn't want to do it in Green Bay - and quite frankly I can't say that I blame him.
Before he announced his retirement he tried to talk to the Green Bay management to get some better...
On a five star scale rating I'd give this one a four.
Went and saw it last night with my wife - and though I think she got bored with it at times I actually thought it was quite good. Ironically she is the one who wanted to see it and I didn't really want to check it out.
It is a good...
The latest post over at Amish America talks about those within the Amish Community who are called to ministry. Read the 12 July entry here: http://amishamerica.typepad.com/
To summarize - the Amish minister is not one who is paid or goes to school or attends seminary - he is simply picked by...
I am amazed at how quickly things have gotten bad with regards to our economy since I last wrote here in April. The housing market is crashing as the price of gas and other forms of energy rise.
I have an opinion that all of this started with the decline of the value in the U.S. dollar late...
Okay - I'm slightly starting to figure this blog thing out. Here is a link to my last blog entries before the big change over here:

Hard to believe I haven't made in entry since the beginning of April....
