To my wife on our 23rd anniversary
This past Sunday was my 23rd anniversary. We’re trying to save money right now so we had agreed not to go away that day. I preached as usual. But I put together a little tribute to my wife and opened the sermon with it. I publish it here for posterity, to publicly acknowledge what sheContinue reading “To my wife on our 23rd anniversary”
Too Much Education?
In 2002, 27.2% of Americans had obtained a Bachelors degree. Only 7.6% have a Masters degree, and only 3% had earned a Ph.D. That means 73% of Americans have not graduated from college with a Bachelors degree. Of those 73%, I do not know how many are suspicious of who of us who have, butContinue reading “Too Much Education?”
Review of The Backup Plan
There is no reason to see this movie. Filled as it is with some decent messages about commitment (and fear thereof), it is not worth the price you must pay in order to cull them out. The price includes predictable dialogue, one-dimensional characters, and one of the most ridiculous child-birth scenes you will ever seeContinue reading “Review of The Backup Plan”

Top Movies of This Year
I am a huge fan of music and movies. While some people are trying to trim down the amount of time they spend watching TV, I plan to spend more time watching great TV and movies in 2011. It’s something that just really brings me joy, I think because it’s something I can do eitherContinue reading “Top Movies of This Year”
N is for Narcissism
I am currently blogging, along with my daughter, all the way through the alphabet. Check out how the idea started, and get the rules here. I am a narcissist. So are you. I don’t mean I have a psychiatric disorder. I don’t mean I stand in front of a mirror admiring myself for hours every day.Continue reading “N is for Narcissism”
O Hilarious Holy Night
I don’t know the story behind this song, whether it’s real, fake, or whatever. I only know that I can’t think of anytime in my life that I have ever laughed so hard as when I first heard it. You can listen to this song as much as you want, and are free to downloadContinue reading “O Hilarious Holy Night”
K is for Kids
I am currently blogging, along with my daughter, all the way through the alphabet. Check out how the idea started, and get the rules here. I never wanted kids. I didn’t grow up with a dream that someday I would get married and have children. I did want a wife — an adult companion to shareContinue reading “K is for Kids”
