Last night was a night my daughter has been waiting anxiously for – the new American Girl movie, Felicity : An American Girl Adventure. She loves all things American Girl. She saved up last year and bought her first American Girl doll. And so we settled in last night after dinner to watch the movie [...]
Duke managed to knock off Memphis in a close game for the NIT title tonight. I still worry a little about their offense, which seems to be out of sync at times. However, with such a mix of old and young players, it’s going to take them a while. Paulus looked great playing the point [...]
In 1986, I bought a cassette tape that would, in a way, change my life. Maybe that’s an overstatement, but it at least changed my music library, which is a big part of my life. I went to The Bible House bookstore in Searcy, Arkansas, during my sophomore year in college, and purchased the tape [...]
Just days after the 1-year anniversary of it’s opening, I made my first visit to the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library today. It was not under the ideal of circumstances – namely, with the kids. My wife’s family was in town and wanted to go. So everyone loaded up and went over to the east [...]
I watched the new live DVD from U2, Vertigo 2005: Live from Chicago. It is great. I’ve not seen the other live DVD’s they’ve released in recent years (or ever seen them live in person) so I don’t know how it compares, but I thought it was great. They included most of the songs I’d [...]
There are times from our past that make us feel ashamed. Everyone has those things that they wish the could undo. In the long list of screw-ups that I’d like to erase from my past, this one is probably not exactly at the top, relatively speaking. But, it’s one that, for some reason, has been [...]
I mentioned Tim Lundy’s message from Sunday morning. Also, along with that theme, we sang Stuart Townend’s song “In Christ Alone.” He has written a couple of my favorite songs in recent years – this one and “How Deep The Father’s Love.” I really love both of these songs. Here is an article about this [...]
Yesterday at Fellowship Bible Church, where we are visiting, Tim Lundy was speaking and talked about Jesus being the Alpha and the Omega. He mentioned the “ABC song” – you know, the one you sung as a child to help you learn the English alphabet. “A, B, C, D, E, F, G…H, I, J, K, [...]
Well, not really. Are you kidding? I don’t think so. I just thought – since college basketball season has begun and I’m also in the middle of reading Blue Blood – that it was time to post my favorite UNC/Dean Smith joke. Of course, this is a joke everyone has heard, only the names and [...]
Yes, that’s right, the wait is over. College basketball has officially begun as of today. I found that the AP Poll has also been released and Duke is, as in most other preseason polls, a runaway #1. It’s the beginning of the greatest 5 months of the year, and hopefully, the beginning of championship season [...]
