Books from the Spring 2008 Semester

At the end of both my fall semester and winter semesters, I sent an email to a good friend (and former supervisor) with a list of the books I had been assigned that semester. I just sent him the latest and thought I would post that same list here for your edification (and wish list). [...]

The Gate was Unlocked…I Promise

Recently I traveled with my wife to Columbus, Ohio to visit her good friend, Jessica, and her husband, Joel. On the Saturday of our trip, we took a jaunt over to Ohio State and toured the campus. When we made a stop at Buckeye stadium, we found that one of the entrance gates was unlocked [...]

Summer Reading

Now that class is out for the summer, I have some time to read a few books that have been residing on a “Reading List” for several months. Too many books, not enough time. One of the most painful parts of my day is when I walk into the campus book store and see all [...]

Even more pics…and a few short videos.  Thanks, Shawn.  I love you, brother.   

Half Dome: Brutal and Beautiful

I am really sore today—and have been since Saturday evening—but it was all worth it. It was a brutal hike, but the views of waterfalls, mountains, and green valleys were beautiful. We had a good time. Here are some pics.

Half Dome or Bust

My good friend Shawn flew in from Chicago last night. Later today, Shawn, myself, and my friends Paul, Whit, and Dustin will set out for Mariposa—a little town about one hour from Yosemite National Park. Saturday morning we will wake up around 6:00am, pack our Camelbacks, load Paul’s XTerra and make our way to Yosemite. [...]

Two Lakes, One Camp, Four Friends and Blogging

I apologize for the serious lack of writing in the past couple of weeks.  Last Sunday, as I indicated in the previous post, we left for Survival Camp–our high school ministry’s summer camp.  Actually, my wife and I were extremely busy on that previous Thursday and Friday because we had to make sure all the [...]
