The Rest Of The Story…

April 12, 2009

The Story Is Far From Over….

April 11, 2009

As we entered the church on Good Friday, it was completely quiet and the lights were dim. We took a seat in the sanctuary and I quietly reminded the kids that we had to be very quiet during this very special service “The Old Rugged Cross” was softly playing through the speakers and as I [...]

April 10, 2009

Dear Deployment, You can bite me. Seriously! We are 70 days in and have at least 110 days to go. This is really so much harder than what I thought it would be.

A Fierce Battle

April 8, 2009

For the past five months, I have been fighting a fierce battle. It took a lot out of me. More than I had to give at times. I fought. I begged. I pleaded. I prayed. I bargained. I bribed. Then, I fought some more. I became weary. For the sake of my sanity, I even surrendered [...]

American Idol – Top 8

April 8, 2009

Unfortunately, I was not able to watch American Idol live, so I can’t really classify this as live-blogging, but better late than never, right?
