He is risen!
Just a quick note to say (in pictures shamelessly ripped from here and here): . Happy Easter! . Derek

This Town’s Got Talent AND Faith
I already wrote about our 3D movie-going experience in my previous post, so I will skip that part of the weekend here, but I neglected to mention the cool restaurant we found because I didn’t want to enlarge an already lengthy post… Friday night after seeing My Bloody Valentine 3D in Maumee Ohio, a suburb

Happy (celebration of your) Birthday, Jesus!
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the

O Holy Night
As many go to bed tonight awaiting a certain jolly old gift-giver to pay them a visit when fast asleep, it pays to remember the gift given to us from above that bears no comparison to the trinkets we give each other. Praise God for His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, for lowering Himself
The expected post :)
This is the post you were expecting today. Happy Thanksgiving! My mother, my grandmother, my uncle, and I got together on this fine day for our nonstandard (read: restaurant) meal, followed by pumpkin and apple pie at home. My brother and nephew always spend this day with Alex’s relatives on his mom’s side, so they

Happy Independence Day!
Several years ago my church had the choir sing on 4th of July weekend, and this is one of the songs. I pray that as you reflect on the freedom we have here in the US, you will reflect especially on the freedom we have in worshiping as we please. There are many places now

The end is near…
Tonight I write this as I should be partying instead. Tonight is the end-of-year cast party for the children’s drama. Or rather, that is what the schedule says. The party was actually canceled due to lack of interest, plus a general grim outlook on people showing up on Wednesday nights for past rehearsals. If it
Shout to the Lord
Even popular television can do things right from time to time. Apparently American Idol had their final eight perform Shout to the Lord not once, but twice. The first time they changed “Jesus” to “shepherd” presumably to not “offend” anyone (he is our shepherd though!), but the second time around they changed it back! Praise
Back to drama
It was a little exhilarating to get back to the children’s drama this weekend. We had been off for over a month, partly due to Easter. So this weekend we were back with a vengeance, err- three of us were. I guess the other two were still on spring break or something. Fortunately the head
Happy Easter!, continued
I just wanted to get that Godtube video up before continuing writing. I can’t believe it’s been three days since my last post (not counting the first Easter post of course!). Well, yesterday was a busy day. Friday was, well, Good Friday. Like a Good Friday should be, it was a very dreary day outside-
