I’ve told you all about Anna’s sphere-a-phelia. Well, we recently discovered that sometimes one’s greatest affliction can become a source of great strength. Through the power of the sphere, Anna has now cured herself of another (more socially stigmatizing) addiction: thumb sucking! It’s an AMAZING accomplishment and even though she’s been completely cured for a…

Contrary to appearances, this post is not another shameless plug for my recently published book, Titan’s Tale. But I did want to make a few "editorial" comments (before archiving the topic…) #1 – Now that I have seen the "finished product" I must say that there is nothing that feels more like vanity than perusing…

Remember the post about saree’s navel? That infamous post (which was really a reference to an earlier post) continues to generate hits to my blog from (literally) all over the world. Seriously. It’s crazy!?! I would guestimate that I get about 3-7 hits a day from people surfing the web in India alone (who are…

There were no rights read, no due process, no evidence presented, no lawyers, no jury, no rebuttals, no shadow of a doubt, no trial. (Period) The verdict and punishment were swift. Death by squashing. I’ve heard the Bible described as a double-edged sword, but did you also know it makes a nice bludgeoning instrument? If…

When I see pictures like this one, it makes me want to grow it back… p.s. The squinting, on my part, was incidental. I often do that when taking pictures. I was not trying to impersonate this gentleman.

I told you that I get Memorial Day and Labor Day confused. I thought Monday (Aug 28th) was Labor Day because it’s the last Monday of the month this year. Typically Memorial Day falls on the last day of the month right? So, typically, you get that Monday off right? (Don’t ask me how my…

From here it’s easy to forget holidays like Labor Day. I hope all of you, my fellow American citizens, will be eating a delicious barbecued meal on Monday–enjoying some summer sunshine. (Eat some Cool Ranch Doritoes for me!) Above is a picture of Sarah laboring to eat with chopsticks. She’s doing a pretty impressive job…

I took this list below from Shane Claiborne’s book, The Irresistible Revolution. It is something I have been contemplating lately. It describes a "movement of radical rebirth grounded in God’s love and drawing on the rich tradition of Christian practices that have long formed disciples in the simple way of Christ." They are calling it…
