"We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?" – Ray Bradbury Tell ’em, Ray! You preach it, brother! I have been bothered lately. And when I say ‘bothered’ I mean really…

Many of you have been praying for my aunt, Robin. Just wanted to let you know, she is out of the hospital and awaiting the beginning of further treatment (radiation).

Do you remember that 80s sitcom Punky Brewster? Well, our family has own little "punky"–both in style and attitude. * Chuck Taylor’ Cons (or knockoffs) are a tradition we are proud to be passing along to our offspring…

Thoughts from Erwin McManus on taking action towards the future (taken from Soul Cravings): The future doesn’t happen by accident; it happens through engagement. We were created to strive for progress and to pursue it with passion. It is God who designed us this way. He made us creative, and he makes us responsible. Somehow…

Having read all of his books, it looks like I’m getting some reciprocation from Donald Miller. Well maybe that’s not entirely true. "The Don", as I like to call him, author of Blue Like Jazz and Searching For God Knows What, et al, has started a website called Burnside Writers Collective which gives voice to…
