The above quote comes from the play The Light in the Piazza. I rather like it and the connectivity it implies. Cara and I went to see it at the Keller Thursday night. It was entertaining and a nice bit of fantasy. Though not as good as The Drowsy Chaperon. Afterward we went to Rock Bottom Brewery, had a little something to eat, and played a couple ( Read more... )

It amazes how fast time can fly. Or perhaps how much can happen in such a few numbers of hours. That was the warning that this is going to be a random post.

I had a lovely Easter day before going to work. Thankfully I was able to go to church and it was a wonderful service. It was the fullest I have ever seen the nine o'clock. It was so full of ( Read more... )

No matter how old I am my parents house will always be home. Every time I walk in the door I feel safe and loved. I know I can simply relax and let myself be rejuvenated.

It is also probably the reason that I have spent a lot of tie in the library or ( Read more... )

I just got back from helping to buy Christmas presents for families in Portland who need a little extra help this Christmas. This year my church has decided to do a special program, on top of what we normally do, for the Advent season. Instead of getting lots of gifts that people don't really want, we were challenged to give relationally and spend ( Read more... )

Landed and went straight home to take a quick shower and change before picking up Amy for church. Service was great. Often times I just skim over the begat sections in my Bible (what I ( Read more... )
