    Think Different Monday, August 13, 2007 |

    I found this tonight. It was unexpected. It made me tear up. It's worth one minute.



    There is some slammin' truth in this. I can tell...my insides tell me so. Do yours?

    Funny Ben... Thursday, August 9, 2007 |

    The following is an email from my buddy Ben. Those of you who know what I look like will think this is funny. Those that don't won't. In the past I would have gotten all balled up about this, like "Do I REALLY look like this guy?" Now? Smash'em cars is fun!

    PS-Blue shirt, not orange shirt...I have some self respect

    Genital Herpes Wednesday, August 8, 2007 |

    I just watched a commercial that informed me that regardless of whether or not I have an outbreak of herpes, I can STILL spread it to my sexual partners! Even without symptoms! I need to practice safer sex and use daily treatment, as in the once daily Valtrix. In addition, if an outbreak does begin to appear I should avoid ALL sexual contact with my partner(s).

    Whew. Thanks commercial. I guess promiscious sex with lots of sex partners does have some consequences. Next time I'll take Valtrix.

    (Please read between the lines at the lunancy of our culture, and specifically the power of marketing. R wants me to make sure you know I don't have genital herpes. Thanks R.)

    A Successful Return |

    I am back...finally. No one here knows (b/c no one is reading anymore) but the summer of goneness is officially at a close. What to say at a moment like this? I'm not sure. I went to Hilton Head (to fulfill my DINK requirement), spent three weeks in South Africa, came back with 4 kids I call my own (thought they still reside in SA for now), and just spent a week at Norris Lake with good friends enjoying God's beautiful creation. To top it off? My first lesson with a real life wakeboard instructor...

    I am aware that faithful reader (mom) may draw a strange conclusion right now, one akin to "Wow, he just placed meeting children he calls his own on par with a wakeboard lesson. This guy sucks." Funny, I had the same thought. But that's not true. SA this year was more than I can put into words...things happened it's going to take quite a while to process. I know I'll process some of them here, at some point, just not right now. And the wakeboarding thing? There was some stuff accomplished there that signified major fears being overcome. More on that as well.

    So in conclusion...I'm back. Yea!
