burgers, bolts (of lightning) and balderdash

well, we had a cook-out-eat-in tonight. lots of rain, lots of left-over hamburgers, eleven people (fewer than we would’ve had without the rain, but more than i thought would come in spite of the rain), and about an hour and a half of balderdash. not a bad evening.

if you didn’t see the […]

burgers and bolts of lightning

for those of you who are/were planning on coming out for the cookout tonight (friday the 13th!), please know that we’re still having the cookout…but it’ll be more like a cook-in-the-garage-and-eat-in…

creative chaos

we’re putting on a couple of big cookouts for the age groups that i lead. i wanted something a little better than sending out an e-vite, so zach and i recorded some stupid videos to tell people about them. here’s the one we made for the 20-something group. their cookout is on […]

my strengths and weaknesses

sometime several months ago, in a moment of weakness, i ran this application on my facebook profile called “compare me” or something…it’s a program that brings up two random people in your contacts list and asks you questions like “who is more famous?” or “who is cuter?” etc. then you choose between the two, […]

getting acclimated to marion

well, we’ve been running around on the farm, doing farmer-type stuff, driving to georgia and back to fetch our furniture and whatnot, throwing staff parties, etc. here’s a bunch of photos.

if you want a particular photo from the slideshow, leave me a comment and i’ll try to accommodate your request.

moving (back) to ohio (again)

we’re getting ready to leave ohio tomorrow after church. we’ll drive down to georgia tomorrow evening, sleep in our house one more time, finish packing up the house on monday, sleep at our friends’ place that evening, and leave tuesday morning to come back to ohio…for good. it’s quite weird. little bit […]

roll call

i have an obsession called google analytics…it’s sick and twisted, really. i can get online and see how many people have come here to my blog, i can see how long you all stayed on my site, i can even see where you’re from! it’s pretty cool, but it leaves something to […]

tuesday morning mind dump

the term “mind dump” sounds so gross…but to an extent that’s what i’m doing…taking all the stuff that’s developed in my mind over the past weekend and “dumping” it out here in cyberspace. thanks for understanding…
1. really great service on sunday. i think that a lot of people connect with god in a […]

sunday night after church…overwhelmed

i was about to sit down and blog. it would be the first time i had posted anything in several days. don’t know why, but i just haven’t had too much to say…
anyway, just as i was about to log on, ella started crying. so gretchen goes in there for a minute […]
