Prayers Requested
I’m alive but there’s really not much in life to blog about right now…so with that, may I please request prayer for a litany of requests that I don’t have time to type. None of them deal with me, instead they are for friends — some are ill, others are facing hard times, and still [...]

21 August 2008
I am visiting Omar, Misty and the family out here in Marshfield right now. Billy Talty and his mom Leslie arrived from Washington state last night — Billy is starting school at Evangel in a week. I took today off of work to help show Billy around town and hang out for a bit. Here [...]

20 August 2008
I’m through with Bank of America. The really sad thing about it is that it is not because of repeated instances of bad customer service — unlike many others whom B of A has lost through the years, mine was based on a solitary incident that exposed my financial information to would-be thieves, and while [...]

19 August 2008
At the International Assembly, the Church of God of Prophecy made a decision to close the Men’s Ministry department. This has a huge reverberating effect on the church as a whole, and it’s actually pretty positive. The reason for the closing is detailed in the letter below, which was posted on the COGOP international website [...]

19 August 2008
There’s more than five tracks in this version of the 54321, and it’s dedicated to one artist whom I have enjoyed since I first heard his track “Obsessions” in 2002. Laurent Ash creates some pretty spacey-sounding electrohouse that brings back vibes from the 80s. In fact, his stuff is so synth-laden that I thoroughly enjoy [...]

With the weather really cooling off at night, I have taken full advantage of the opportunity to get out and run two miles at least every other night. I began running and lifting last week and already it has paid dividends. After last Monday’s weight check, I logged in at an okay-but-could-be-improved-upon 182 pounds. A [...]

18 August 2008
Here’s one from the I Hope You Enjoy This Department. If you’ve seen today’s News-Leader, you’ll notice Jaime Baranyai wrote a cool report about Google Street View coming to Springfield. I was commissioned to do a demonstration video of how it works, and I think it went pretty well. Also got some man on the [...]

17 August 2008
We won’t be seeing this again from Mr. Bentley anytime soon. Bang bang, bam bam bam, CLUNK. There goes the final nail in Todd Bentley’s “ministry’s” coffin. Todd Bentley’s “ministry” is over. I don’t know whether to be heartbroken that so many were misled, disgusted at that fact, or both. I also, as much as [...]

17 August 2008
So I am in town punching this in on my iPhone and waiting for my good people to hurry on up and get here. We are gonna do some disc golfery and then hoop it up. I haven’t played basketball in awhile so I am kinda scared. Oh and church was awesome!

17 August 2008
I implore with you not to be one. Be genuine. Step outside your comfort zone. The world will become a better place for you and those you encounter. That is all.
