The night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, Every creature is stirring and raising a fuss. The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, But sleep hasn’t come yet and that’s just not fair. From Payton and Devins’ been non stop crying and chatter, It’s an endless list of wailing matters. Into [...]

A Treatise on the Discovery of the Biblical Squirrel

There are a lot of animals in the bible.  Bulls, and goats, and pigeons, oh my!  But for the first time ever a couple weeks ago we came across a squirrel during the youth bible study.  One of the kids was reading James 4:1 for us and it read as such, “What causes fights and [...]

Solitary Tuesday *UPDATE*

In trying to keep in line with my “New Music Monday” title, I searched for some aliteration to work with Tuesday.  Unfortunately, there are no synonyms for alone that start with “T” so I went with solitary and figured it was close enough.  My solitude was not the plan for the evening, yet none the [...]

Home Alone: SC

So this likely won’t be anything profound, and to some of you it may not even be interesting, but for those of your still reading I will regale you with a tale of my life as it stands.  This is after all kind of a compilation of my life here so why not include stories [...]

We’re Home!

Ears are Burning (to the tune of Beds are Burning)

The time has come to say he’s here to help my wife to do my share (da, da, duh) How do I sleep while my world is turning How do I stop while my ears are burning Okay so I just dated myself really badly, but I’m in a hurry.  Jenn’s water just broke so [...]

The end of an era

Well, that’s all folks.  That’s it.  It’s done.  It’s the end of an era in my life.  For those of you who are thinking that this is a baby announcement, you are sorely mistaken, but it will be coming soon enough.  No, tonight marks the end of a slightly different, but related, era.  Tonight was [...]

Am I Irrepairably Screwed Up?

I realize that I’ve always been a little weird, and that I quite often see the world just a little differently, but am I really as hopelessly deluded as some people would lead me to believe?  Am I really as crazy as that Shining guy over there?  I’m set to become a parent here in [...]
