Thanks for coming, everyone. We want to celebrate a little girl turning one this week. Thanks in advance for all your contributions to Edie’s toy kitchen. She loves it already; I’m so excited for when she can actually bring me fake tea, then real tea! I’ve always had the suspicion that some people have kidsContinue reading “Edie’s First Birthday Speech”

Read P.G. Wodehouse
I had heard about the wonders of Wodehouse from a podcast or two, so I bought one of his books (The Code of the Woosters) when I saw it at the used book store in town. At the time, the wife was in the habit of reading Harry Potter before bed every single night. IContinue reading “Read P.G. Wodehouse”
What Pastor Noah Taught Me
Here’s some wisdom from another pastor we had in St. Louis. The wife and I were going through it. House fire (more on that later), staying with friends, then family. Cleaning the house and trying to get everything taken care of. Insurance claims to boot. All the while, I was working at a new job:Continue reading “What Pastor Noah Taught Me”
Not My Circus?
The wife and I have been using that phrase a lot lately. I’m not sure what the deal is. When you are around other people more, you get to see what decisions they make. Since teachers have more time in the summer, I guess I get out more. Maybe it’s good for me. Well, there’sContinue reading “Not My Circus?”
What Pastor Josh Taught Me
I had a pastor in St. Louis named Josh. If you’ve been around the church for any period of time, you start to realize it’s full of sinners. Sinners get into disagreements, kerfuffles, quandries, and the like. In St. Louis, we found there was enough sin to go around (ours included). Well, a pastor getsContinue reading “What Pastor Josh Taught Me”
One Thing at a Time
I’ve battled headaches for over a decade. They started a couple years into our marriage (it wasn’t the wife’s fault, promise). That said, I didn’t know their trigger, and it would be a long time before any improvements. Why was that? First, I didn’t want to take a pill. Two times the doctors suggested certainContinue reading “One Thing at a Time”
The Lord Provides (Part 1 of Many)
I took a job at a Christian school outside of St. Louis called Westminster Christian Academy (more on that later). The wife and I lived about 25 minutes from the school in South City. One of my future coworkers lived two doors down. I was ripe for a carpool! I would have been driving aContinue reading “The Lord Provides (Part 1 of Many)”
Advice for a Student Entering Public School
I have a student (or two) that shall remain nameless. He or she is going to public school next year and asked for counsel. I thought what I wrote may be helpful to others. Even if you aren’t going into public school next year, you will one day go out into the world. This adviceContinue reading “Advice for a Student Entering Public School”
Fast, Greasy Seafood
I eat healthy because I have a great wife. I didn’t always eat healthy. She didn’t always eat healthy either, but she was way ahead of me. I ate like a 3-year-old until I had children of my own. No matter how we ate, though, what’s coming was a rough time in our lives. Let’sContinue reading “Fast, Greasy Seafood”
The Truth in Love
My pastor recently said something to this effect: it’s just best not to ever read into anyone’s motives. Wise words. This doesn’t mean we can’t judge the actions someone takes. Jesus does tell us to judge with correct judgement. It does mean that, if we can find a decent reason why a person did thatContinue reading “The Truth in Love”
