Harsh, Ryan. Harsh…

Okay, so I rethought my comment from my blog (about 5 minutes ago).
No, you don’t have to be dumb to be a criminal. I should have said “really dumb, desperate, or confused.”
I mean, honestly, if I had been dealt a different hand of cards so to speak, I could possibly see myself being a member [...]

Crazy, But There’s MORE!

The girl simply walked out of [...]

Hi.

I’m too busy to post until after service tonight, but I wanted to say hi.

Road Rage

Feeling aggravated by the fool’s who seem intent to…

1. Slow traffic down by driving 10 mph below the speed limit in the passing lane?

2. Cut you off for no apparent reason?

3. Tailgate you even when you’re speeding by 10+ mph?

4. Panic in traffic and slow everyone down by being indecisive?

I freak out about these things. [...]

Blinded

It’s time for church culture to open up its eyes.
A statement like that is attention-getting. That’s the biggest reason I used it; but it’s also very, very true. The church is at war with a problem, but the problem is winning, and it has been winning for a long time.
We are at war with pornography. [...]

The name “lolcat” is a compound word formed from lol and cat. The phenomenon is also referred to as cat macros. Lolcats are created for [...]

FCA

We just finished up hosting an FCA breakfast for Airline High School, which is located about a quarter of a mile from the church. There were 100+ students in our family life center, eating donuts and generally attempting to resume consciousness.
I thought it was hilarious that almost every person that walked through our line said, [...]

Last Mow of the Season (I Pray)

At approximately 6:05 PM, I did something that I hope to not do again until early 2008: mow the stupid lawn.

I would estimate that there are only two people on Earth that hate mowing the lawn more than I do: Kal Veinshweigher in Luxembourg and some guy in Wisconsin who hasn’t slept in 4 months.

I [...]
