going back home

01Apr09

i think by now we’ve told everyone important, so this is for the rest.

this blog was intended to help me think through where i’m taking things in my life.
namely, my career.  and what i’m learning.

broken bone?

22Sep08

set it with a podcast!  it lets your friends sign your leg and gives you an excuse to carry a sharpie.
i’ve been listening to podcasts lately at work.
so far, the line up is pretty short:
imago dei
mars hill
npr: this american life
meet the author
here’s what i’ve noticed so far…
the non church ones keep my attention better than the church ones.
that’s not [...]

22Apr08

good message, but cheesey approach.

that video should have been cut short.  if i’m theivin’ a trailer full of bibles, i’m not listening to an emo video droning on with [...]

as if

03Apr08

thanks, el clinto, for having a blog and sharing this.

i broke my own rule about not buying new clothes the rest of the year.

ahhh, time to plop in front of the tv with (SPOILER WARNING!) our newest obsession.
a time to relax.
