Rantings of a Pastor/Gamer/Historian/Geek
Last night I got to hang out with one of our newest LifePointers, Stuart. We talked about lots of stuff: his life, how he got to were he was currently in life, his goals for the future, etc. After a while the subject came to the church, and I got to really pour my […]
At about 12:45am this morning I finished The Great Divorce. In the post that I wrote yesterday, I talked a little bit about the lessons that I was learning from the book. Today, I thought that I’d finish up the quick review of what I’ve gotten from the book. Spoiler alert! This post is very […]
I usually worship at the altar of Google. (Don’t worry, I’ve determined that since Google bought out YouTube, they have to be some incarnation of the devil) I use Google Docs to keep up with my thoughts and stuff I need to write down, Google Calendar to keep track of events and share them with […]

Acceptance? Forgiveness? Progression? According to some commentators, quite the opposite. These documents represent a return to some traditional Catholic doctrines, many […]
For all of our readers with Triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13), I thought I’d give a little bit of the history behind your fears. There are lots of theories about the origin of the unlucky nature of the number 13. They range from the number of disciples that Jesus had (12 + Judas = […]
Wow, I’m wwwwaaayyy to old and white to call my car a whip. But I’m gonna call it that anyways. Yep, Jessa and I are now the proud owners of a 2004 Honda Element. I’ll get some pictures of it up soon but for now, here’s a funny commercial:
