« Previous EntriesIndiana Jones 4
Saturday, May 31st, 2008Megan and I saw Indiana Jones 4 tonight, and I must admit I really enjoyed it. Sure, I kept comparing it to the previous movies, and it did not measure up. Maybe after years of viewing I will have the same affection to this movie as the other 2 (I HATE Temple of Doom).
Now [...]

Dead Lappie
Monday, May 26th, 2008Sorry for the recent lack of posts… my Averatec laptop died on Friday, with no hope of resurrection. Now the big question: Mac or PC. Actually the question is MacBook or MacBook Pro? Thoughts?
Goodbye Toby
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Just saw this deleted scene from last week’s season finale of The Office. Watch the whole thing, because Dwight’s last line is killer:
A Time for Everything
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008In case you have not heard, the 5 year old daughter of Steven Curtis Chapman died yesterday after being hit by a car. Read the full story here. I have recently been thinking about death, mainly due to the two funerals I attended in the last week. Just as The Teacher [...]
May: A Month of Transition
Monday, May 19th, 2008Youth ministry is inherently tied to the school’s schedule. Any youth worker with common sense knows not to plan events on 1. Prom Weekend, 2. Graduation Weekend, or 3. Finals Week. Students will not come on 1 & 2, and parents will hate you for 2 & 3. Unfortunately, these events all happen [...]
Prince Caspian
Saturday, May 17th, 2008Megan and I saw Prince Caspian last night. I think this is gonna be a movie either you hate or you love. Personally, I really enjoyed it, but there are some who did not. Prince Caspian came across as a more complete movie than the first movie: The Lion, the Witch, [...]
Book Review: The Year of Living Biblically
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008After reading a few ministry-related books, I decided for an easier “fun” read. I picked up The Year of Living Biblically by AJ Jacobs. As he puts in the introduction, Jacobs is Jewish, but “I’m Jewish in the same way the Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant” (page 4). He [...]
Ocean City Floated Away (Almost)
Monday, May 12th, 2008Last night I awoke at 2 am to a pretty wild storm. The wind was howling, rain was coming down, and we lost power at least 4 times throughout the night (the carbon monoxide detector kept reminding me). Little did I know that it would only get worse during the day.
For those of [...]
Kids Say the Funniest Things
Sunday, May 11th, 2008In Megan’s Sunday School class today (4 & 5 year olds), I was helping a boy write a card to his mother. I asked him to write his name, which he proceeded to scribble on the card. I said I couldn’t read it, to which he responded “It is in French.”
I love working [...]
