I saw this on Ryan and Kelli Bishop’s blog and found it completely moving and powerful. This is a 3 minute long video of John Piper preaching about the wretchedness of the Prosperity Gospel. It’s well worth your time.
On Sunday night, we made our way back to Louisville from St. Louis. Dan went fishing with his dad and brother-in-law at Montauk State Park in Missiouri. When we walked into our apartment with our bags, we heard two strange noises: a strange mechanical sound coming from deeper inside of our apartment and a vibrating […]
At the risk of getting made fun of, there’s something I have to tell you. I love bluegrass music. It’s fun to listen to; the music and lyrics engage the ear in way most music fails to. I blame you Dad, for infecting me with an appreciation for this wonderful music. Recently, when […]
Well, obviously we haven’t written anything in a while… too bad, we’ve been busy. Anyways, some of you might wonder why I am going to post this online. That’s easy, I want to brag on my wife. She deserves it.
Everyone does things most others don’t see
But when love is involved these are the key
And so […]
A friend has been pestering me to update our blog, and at the moment, I would rather do anything other than the assignment I’m supposed to be working on.

When I originally decided to write this post, I decided on the above title and it turns out that I was right… technically.
After Jen and I got married, we started buying two kinds of peanut butter at the store - full fat for Dan and reduced fat for Jen. I resisted switching to […]
Like Amerigo Vespucci who explored the Atlantic Ocean and discovered important stuff about South America at the turn of the 16th century, Dan and I too recently committed ourselves to a worthwhile and honorable mission: Coke-flavored ICEEs.? About two weeks ago, I began really craving one of those slushy wonders of delight, so my […]
Last night, I finally finished knitting my first dishcloth at 10:45, much to my kitchen’s chagrin.? Why would I spend multiple hours (~7) knitting a dishcloth when I could just go spend $5 and get a stack of them?? Well, first of all, I like to knit.? I’m really quite nutty about […]
For about the past six months my cell phone’s battery has had about 7.5 minutes of talk time. Generally, I would give Jen a call on my lunch break from work as I walked back to our apartment. I would recharge my phone on my lunch because those two minutes Jen and I talked […]
Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14, ESV)
