Jump Rope

How long has it been since you’ve jumped rope? For a lot of us I’m sure we last did it as a child. Well, I just completed a mean little ten minutes on a jump rope and, let me tell you, it’s a lot harder than a remember. I had hoped to do 3x that [...]

Another Crisis Averted

Brooke was on the computer earlier when, out of nowhere, our internet dies. I do the same thing everyone else does at this point – wait. After an hour still there was nothing. Next step? Unplug and replug everything. Still nothing. Hold down the reset button on the modem for minutes on end. Check. But [...]

I Heard Back

I heard back today about that job that I tried so hard to get. I had all the right references. I had the motivation and love for the job. I had a great interview. All of this and I still didn’t get it. MSE

Summons

I headed down to the mail center at our apartment a little bit ago. When I reached into our box I pulled out a jury summons! I’ve never had jury duty before, but I’m not too thrilled. The timing is just not good. I’m trying to find a job after all! Also, since we only [...]

Revisionist

Yesterday, Dave Black asked for help with the future third edition of The New Testament: Its Background and Message. He wants anyone who is willing to “carefully read through the current (second) edition of the book and then send me specific suggestions for its improvement.” He’s even offering a copy of The Jesus Paradigm to [...]

Please Pray

Please pray for my cousin, Amy. She was taken to the hospital in Denver this morning and I’m told that she may die. I’m not sure what’s going on yet, but she did deliver twins on the 4th, so I imagine that it has to do with complications. She is the sweetest person you will [...]

My New Favorite Thing

After my wife got off work today we had to run a couple checks over to the bank. Then we went to a few places she had wanted to go to and one that I’ve wanted to visit – Sports Authority. We practically made a beeline for a section of this store which stocks equipment [...]

Recap

Today has been a bit of a whirlwind. It’s amazing that on days like this there just is never enough time to do anything! Well, I got all prepped for my interview (discovered that an old suit fits again thanks to my exercise and diet regimen of late) and took off. In the rush I [...]

Interview Day

Today’s the day! At about 2pm (cst) I will be in my interview. I’m scared to death right now. I really want this job to be it. I could really see myself doing this for several years. I just hope that I get that chance. What’s more is that this school that I’m interviewing at [...]

Colds and Jobs

Brooke’s doing a lot better today. Thank you all for praying. She’s still coughing, but she’s well on her way to recovery. We did have to have a little talk about covering one’s mouth when coughing though. There’s some news on the job front for me. I have an interview! And it’s with the place [...]
