26 Years Old – Still Learning to Walk – Ecclesiastes 7:23-25

Last time I wrote about my personal journey, I mentioned how my life’s vision is being constantly reshaped focusing my attention on specific goals. My shifting priorities as I ‘grow up’ are leading me down a path of new self-discovery that adds fresh depth to the previous 7 year chapter of my life. I thought [...]

Guava Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Orange-Habanero Mojo

As is our Sunday night custom, we have found another awesome dish for dinner this week. One worthy of sharing with our beloved friends, family, and readers by one of my favorite culinary personalities. Cara gets the credit for sourcing this meaty treat and we both added our collective knowledge to the adaptation. Before we [...]

Classy & Chic: The Skinny… On Minis

This is a new blog post we plan to run regularly. It’s a woman’s perspective with a man’s thoughts included for balance. We hope people read this and realize the way people dress is an extension of what they think of themselves. That extension of themselves determines how people view them on the surface. What [...]

2008: The Year of the Write-In Candidate

Two candidates – No third-party contenders (there are three candidates). Of the top two, one I agree with about 50% of the time and the other only 35%. Apparently, this is the most I can hope for. This is the best America has to offer me. One guy seems to have very little patriotism and [...]

Does WALL•E run Mac OS X?

I went and saw WALL•E last night. I’ve only been waiting for this movie for about a year. When it was over… I wanted it to start over again. You fall in love with all the robots, especially WALL•E and EVE. They are funny, curious, and spunky. Disney/Pixar has done it again. EVE was apparently designed by [...]

DirectTV Hammers Comcast

Last July I bought an HDTV and called Comcast to find out about HD options. They signed me up and all was good. I few weeks later I added the DVR package and it was even better. Not long thereafter I got a call where they were offering me my Internet for $40 a month [...]

David Axelrod, Infanticide, & Obama ’08

He is the Chief Political Strategist for the Obama ’08 campaign. Perhaps a better title for him should be: Chief Infanticide Strategist. Yes, you’re looking at the face of the chief adviser to Barack Obama. Last night on PBS’ “The News Hour with Jim Lehrer”, he was asked if John McCain was just like President [...]

Kung Fu Fighting — Get it out of my head!

So, we went to see Kung Fu Panda last weekend and it was awesome. The score was composed by Hans Zimmer who always composes awesome music. However, one song in particular has been stuck in my head — and I can’t make it go away! My husband won’t stop singing it either — because it’s [...]

SugarCRM – A Sweet Treat for Your Church’s Admin

I’ve never been very impressed with technology in most churches. I’m glad they’re coming on board with computers and projectors and media-infused worship. As a business analyst, I’m always on the leading edge of cost-effective technology. And as an ordained minister, I’m always on the lookout for ways that churches can manage leverage technology to [...]

Maturing Vision – Proverbs 3:1-4

God knows I’ve always dreamed huge. Some of those big dreams have tested me in ways I never imagined. Even today I have grandiose dreams of being used by God in ways I can only dream about. This vision, at times, while great and probably God-ordained has left me discontent for years. I’ve been so [...]
