Building Memories
This week, we’re hosting Douglas Gresham and Meg Sutherland at Sprig Studios. Doug is a long-time friend, and famed adopted-son of C.S. Lewis; and he’s also Meg’s Executive Producer for a potential record deal we’re working on. Needless to say, the whole experience has been nostalgic and inspiring. Meg’s music is filled with the “divine […]

A Feeling Better Update
As reader Venaril so aptly put, I’d rather deal with a physical injury than be ill. Montezuma has not been good to me over the last 3 days. But some rice water and my first solid night’s sleep in 14-days finally did the trick. (All the prayers certainly had something to do with it too). […]

Travel Sickness
Sleep deprivation. Malnutrition. Dehydration. I call this travel sickness. And I currently have it. Almost home. ch:

How I Use (And Don’t Use) Social Media
Before social media became a thing, we had email chat rooms, brought to you by America Online. I still remember my dad using a “street address and mail box” analogy to help me understand what a URL and @ symbol were, all to the static-laden interlude between hitting “connect” and hearing the famous words of […]

Redline 2014
Hey y’all! Get yourself to Redline 2014. You’re going to have more fun than a fruit fly in a dumpster outside a Tropicana processing facility. Nough said. ch:

Shark vs Oreck: Our 22-Second Vacuum Cleaner Review
This is how I like product reviews. Short, sweet, and conducted by real people in authentic environments. This one is 22-seconds long, and shows what our new Shark did after just two times through our house. Needless to say, it picked up the dregs of what our Oreck had been leaving behind. Gross. Here’s a […]
Make Sure You’re Liked By Who Matters Most
“I like you.” Those three words sent chills down my 5th grade spine. It made me do crazy things, like circle “yes” on a ruled sheet of notebook paper that read, “Do you like me back?” and pass it through the hands of four friends to a blushing girl. Being liked is powerful stuff. It […]

Staying In Baghdad
Iraq isn’t in the news much anymore. At least, not the way it was in the 90s. But neither is Green Day. So what’s current in Baghdad? Last month alone, 1,013 people in Iraq – 795 civilians, 122 soldiers and 96 policemen – died as a result of violence. The community of faith has certainly […]

How To Survive the End of the World
What response do have when you read the words the second coming? Or how about Armageddon? Too spiritual? Try: The end of the world. Or: The zombie apocalypse. Too Hollywood. I hear ya. How about: World financial crisis. Global destabilization. Famine. Drought. Insurrection. Regardless of what you call it, if “it” was tomorrow, what’s your […]
