A Look at the Highs and Lows of My Blog for 2008
As is customary during this time of year, we all have a tendency to look back at what 2008 had in store for us and look ahead to 2009. A lot happened in 2008 and I thought I would do what many bloggers are doing of course and post of few of my favorite blogs…

5 Steps on How to Easily Improve a Blog in 2009
I love stats. Some people call you a stat whore or call stats evil, but there is a reason you can get a degree in statistics in college. Stats are used everywhere. Sports, financial, technology, everywhere data is kept and you can gain so much information by examining statistics beyond surface level. It can show…

Receiving a True Gift Does Not Create an Obligation
Now that the Christmas holiday is over and the gift giving has basically gone back to normal, I have a few observations. As simple as we try to make Christmas, it seems to get more complicated each year. To try and simplify things at our house this year we went back to the German tradition…

Beautiful December Day with Valkyrie Movie :: Friday Feet
This was probably once of the nicest late December days that I can remember. It was over 70* with partly cloudy, blue sky and I ended up working outside all day. We ended up taking down our Christmas lights today and replacing them with our “everyday lights” which will remain up the rest of the…

Merry Christmas to My Blogroll with Some Linklove
This is usually one of the busiest days for getting from place to place with family functions, but for us, it is normally a nice quiet day here at the house. Today was similar. I was able to take a nice bike ride and enjoy some quiet time here at our house. I do this…

Last night Deb and I went to the Auburn vs Alabama State men’s basketball game, which always turns out to be a great game. Deb took her knitting to see if she could get Aubie to pose with her and her knitting and Aubie was more than happy to do that and then some. It…

Happy Merry Birthday Christmas Sarah
Anyone else have a birthday on or near a holiday like my sister? Everyone seems to think that because you have a birthday on or near Christmas that it is always just lumped in with everything else, but not so in our house growing up. We always had a birthday party two days before the…

50,000 Pairs of Shoes in 50 Days :: Update
Christmas is fast approaching and soon (for some) the gifts purchased up to this point will translate into a lousy January, but if you haven’t finished quite yet, please consider the 50,000 Shoes campaign. I wanted to give a quick update to my post back in November called Soles4Souls Blogging Challenge, 50,000 Pairs of Shoes…

Can Technology Yield a Better Prayer Life?
In short, I would say, no. There are so many things technology can do, especially with networks like Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and all the others we know and love, but I am not sure if prayer is one of them when you look at the traditional definition of prayer, communicating with God. There are sites…

Going Low Tech with Lopi to Heat the House
Most things in our house are high tech as we can get, except when it comes to heating the house. When we built this house a few years ago we put in a wood burning stove (see Lopi, Lopi, and Lopi). Heating our home with a wood burning stove is great, except… you have to…

A Texas Roadhouse Dinner and a Movie :: Friday Feet
This week was one of the more crazy weeks in the past few months, but today Deb and I went over to Georgia and had dinner and that is my friday feet this week. The movie in case anyone was interested is With Honors (because my friend hasn’t let me borrow Dead Poets Society yet). …

What is Faith Without Love
I have asked this question many times before, but happens when we have faith, but no love in our heart? Does it not become an empty faith, or is it just something we do to go through the motions, or is it actually possible to have faith without love for one another. Hard to deny…

The Lack of a Dead Poets Society Copy
I love being around creative people in the church body, always thinking and pushing the limits of their own thinking. Being on the photography side of creativity I feel like sometimes I have one foot in the creative door and one looking in to see if anything interesting shows up. Sometimes photography to me feels…
