halloween

Have you ever a time in your life where you don’t have time to examine yourself?  I mean truly examine yourself, as God commands you. 
Well, I am at this point in my life.  I mean, I am having the time of my life but I feel rushed like no other for some reason.  I just [...]

long day, really stinking burnout from the day

What an extremely busy day I have had? 
I went to Raleigh to fix some mistakes I had made.  That wasn’t much fun. 
I got my paper finished.  I did too much work on this one.  For the first time, I actually had to get rid of a lot of what I had written.  I wrote about [...]

thoughts

Echoes of a time gone by.  Searching through the deep recesses of my being.  These are some things that my mind has been occupied by recently.  Ask me and I might tell you about it.

horrors

For some reason, I am in the mood to watch scary movies.  I am not usually in a mood like this but today I truly am.  I don’t know why but whatever.

I have been focused on this word recently in studying and I believe [...]

As Mike wrote earlier today, we can make as many copies as we want now.

I had a fun day today.  Some big things happened. 
1) I got a chance to hang out [...]

I am getting my learn on

So I am realizing many things about myself recently. 
1) I love people.  Well this one I knew but I have been understanding it more and more recently.  I think I am a Connector (someone who loves connecting people together – usually from vastly different realms) but this also means that I have the tendency to shy away [...]

top 25

Well, finally we are down to the last 25.  I hope that you have enjoyed this trip down Memory Lane that we have taken over the past 4 weeks.  I have been very ecstatic about picking the top 500.  It seems like a huge task, at least to everyone I talk to, but I didn’t want to [...]

recent books

Ok, so I know I have written 3 blogs tonight (or in the morning now), I just ask that you bare with me. 
I want to address a common questions that I often get. 
Whenever I get involved in a conversation, I usually end up talking about a book that I am currently reading or a previously read [...]
