Markers
I changed up where a bunch of the files are stored on my PC, to get a little more elbow room for growth. Going through some of the files, I found a folder containing a bunch of photos from various smart phones over the years. Yesterday was the 4-year mark of the move from Nebraska […]
Continuing Education
Yesterday evening I did something I’d had in the back of my mind for years. I attended a storm spotter class. It was put on by the area National Weather Service office, and held on the campus of MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe. This was the first of their 2019 training classes, with several more […]
Photo Friday
I keep an older camera (an Olympus E-P3) in the car for those times when I see something that strikes me as potentially photo-worthy. I’ll admit that I don’t stop as often as I should. I also don’t off-load photos as often as I should. Here’s a shot from June 2017, just pulled off the […]

Preoccupied With Small Things
Some uncomfortable truth from Jared C. Wilson: Truly, I think one reason we aren’t captivated by Christ’s glory is because we have a diminished capacity to be captivated by anything big. We are preoccupied with small things. And, in fact, we somehow have an inverted sense of measurement in that big things seem to us […]
The Continued Success of Awful UX

If I remember correctly, they were unloading some machines that were essentially unused – returned due to buyer’s remorse or something similar – but that had to be labeled “Refurbished” because they weren’t technically new. Mine came […]
Sober Commentary In An Age of Hysteria
The world, and especially America, is now in a post-Enlightenment period, where rationality and reason have been exchanged for mindless, tribal screaming. I don’t see any hope of that changing until years – perhaps decades – after the people intent on burning it all down have had their way. It’s all so profoundly sad and […]
A Judgment For the Church
There’s a thought that’s been in the back of my mind for a while now. It’s been prompted by what I’ve been seeing culturally over the past several years, but has especially ramped up in the past 2-3 years… Something tells me there’s a judgment coming for the church. And by the church, I mean […]
The Long Slog
In my neck of the woods we got 11.5 inches of snow last weekend. We haven’t seen the sun in over a week, so there hasn’t been much melting. It’s been cold and grey. This is always the time of year that’s my least favorite. The holidays have passed. There are still not many daylight […]
