I'm still testing out this theme.

While working out last night (and I say this in my best Ahnold accent), my trainer told me to do 3 sets of 10 ‘dips’. These particular dips were where I suspended myself between two benches, with my feet on one bench and my hands behind my back on the other. The dip part comes [...]
After our visit this weekend, I compiled this list of things to do if you want to build your own Atlanta. Here they are, in freestylin’ format… If you have a name that’s kind of catchy, call everything by that name. For example, if you have an “Oak Grove” area, you can come up with: [...]
12 years ago today, my parents paid an enormous amount to a nice family across town to arrange a marriage for me. That’s the only way I can explain how I was able to marry such a smart, smokin’ woman. To commemorate this event, my wife and I got out of town this weekend and [...]
I’ve been reading Michael Yon’s weblog for a couple of months now. I highly recommend it. He is former special-forces and an excellent writer who has embedded himself in the field with the soldiers. He’s a reporter in both the old school and new school sense. If you want to know real information about what [...]
Check out this excellent site. It’s a collection of photos 100 years ago. If a picture is worth a thousand words, we should be able to count thousands of blessings from this one site.
Have you ever looked down at a snack food and wondered “just what am I eating?” We have a 99 cent bag of some Golden flake snacks that are making me ask just that. They’re strange puffy things covered with salt and seasoning. They look like they should be mingled with some Korean newspaper in [...]
We’ve been having quite a bit of trouble with our Charter.net high speed internet connection. It’s generally very good (I have used their service for over 5 years), but lately it’s been randomly dropping out for 3-10 minutes. We’ve isolated it to a signal problem. This process has involved 5 calls to support, one local [...]
I’m always amused when I hear an unbeliever say “If God really exists, then I’ll believe in him if he just gives me some sort of sign. Why wouldn’t he do that if He loves me?”. First of all, that’s not true. People throughout history have had plain signs from God and either didn’t believe, [...]
Here’s an interesting weblog entry about a church campaign entitled ‘church doesn’t suck’. Not including the use of the word “suck”, which is ambiguous at best and the subject of a whole other post, I tend to disagree with the tone of this ad campaign…and agree with the tone of that weblog. In general, whenever [...]
I’m still reading through my linear Bible, and we’re currently looking at some of the tribes, what they do, who does what, etc. I believe this particular section is in Numbers, but being linear it tends to jump around a bit. As a side note, this is a great way to read the Bible to [...]
If you haven’t heard of David Nasser’s “Glory Revealed” project, you need to either stop being Amish, or turn yourself into authorities so you can stop hiding in the woods. I mean, really. Aren’t you tired of living on the run? Always feeling like you’re being hunted down? Dealing with all those horses and buggies? [...]
As I have mentioned, I have this strange quirk where everything about squirrels strikes me as very humorous. I guess one of the coolest things about being God would be the chance to design squirrels. One question though…what is so noble and great about birds that they get free food, but the squirrel does not? [...]
I had a chance to sing in a trio with Mac Powell (of Third Day fame) this morning. When given the opportunity to hang out with such a person, I follow two rules: a) in general, shut up b) learn! And man, what a learning experience. Many multi-platinum, award winning artists are completely full of [...]
Shawn was one of those guys you absolutely have to have on your political team. He was ALSO one of those guys that would be kept off the rolls so you could disavow all knowledge of him. Shawn was devious and cunning, yet ethical and always willing to skip class to do something for his [...]
So our merry band of delegates arrived in DC for the College Republican National Convention (or whatever they called it). By then, it was pretty apparent that we were going to lose. The national chairman and the handpicked incoming chairman had really setup a sweet deal for themselves. They had threatened and intimidated clubs that [...]
The national CR group was largely inneffective. The Auburn club (and the state) received little or no assistance from the national CR group during the ’92 campaign when I was local chairman. The most we saw from the national group were little forms that looked all official-like when people were joining. Other than that, there [...]
So, it’s the early 90′s and I’m running for Secretary of the College Republican National Committee. While I’m starting my campaign there is a small controversy in the Alabama State ‘senior party’ (meaning the actual Republican party of Alabama). The Republican Governor has been convicted of election fraud, and the state chairman of the Republican [...]
The decidedly political post yesterday, and this article about Republican disgust made me decide to do a multi-part post about my brief-but-spirited foray into politics. OK, so technically I was never *in* politics. But I was going to be, until a single event changed my mind. Let’s set the stage. Back in my college days, [...]
So now our sunday school is focusing on Amos. Amos is a lesser known Old Testament prophet, and he’s at the stage that (I guess) all prophets start with–”The Lord is pretty angry just about now because of the following…”. It seems a bit coincidental that I stumbled across a blog today that seems to [...]
