Wait for it…

Best one is at the end. Well I think it’s the best. I’m the biggest fan of this guy but only when he’s doing comedy.

Why you need to love the Steelers

I love the Steelers mainly because I was born and spent a good part of my life around Pittsburgh. I tell fans of other teams that if they lived there, they may still have another favorite team, but once they got to know the Steelers organization, they would come to love it.
For crying out loud, [...]

Protecting change

Two great quotes I heard from friends the past two days…
“I don’t understand people that want to protect rights they don’t use.”
That was from Aaron in relation to people insisting the Sabbath commandment is valid but they never follow it and don’t even know when the Sabbath is (hint: it ain’t Sunday).

The last “Bushism” for me

I was sick and tired of participating in a time where I am supposed to be connecting with the Almighty and spending it lost in thinking about other things, chatting with my neighbor, coming up with [...]

Using what you know and who God is surrounding you with for leverage

Diane and I dropped out of our adult small group a while back. We had been meeting every week (that had originally been my idea ) and it was becoming difficult to keep that commitment since Mckenzie had been born. The group will continue and since then Diane and I had been looking for [...]

Keeping fitness New Year’s resolutions

Happens every year… gyms get crowded in early January and are back to normal by late February.

I was thinking, “You need to schedule it like you would a meeting or a doctor’s [...]
