  • A Little Down Time

    Well, I guess transitions have these weird times.  For the next week or so my Internet access will be limited, so my blog posts will not be as regular.  However, I’ll do my best to at least keep my weekly posts from the England/France trip going. Once my computer situation is resolved, though, I’ll bring… Continue reading

  • “Mennonite? Huh?”

    Quite a few people the past couple weeks have asked me about Mennonite beliefs.  On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, we live close enough to Lancaster County in Pennsylvania to have people confuse Eastern Shore Mennonites with the Amish. A little explanation: Mennonite theology and doctrine is very similar to that of other biblically-based denominations.  The only… Continue reading

  • Yet Again

    Oig. Just found out it will take a couple days for this site to be automatically forwarded, so in the meantime it will be parked at nathanhyde.wordpress.com Sorry for all the confusion! Continue reading

  • Site Under Construction

    Just FYI: nathanhyde.com will now automatically forward to nathanhyde.wordpress.com. I’ve had to make the change because I’ve been switching a lot of computer stuff (domain, host, etc.) and messed up the location of the blog.  So anyway, the blog is still up and running but is now at nathanhyde.wordpress.com, but like I said, pretty soon… Continue reading

  • Intern(et)al Organs

    It’s strange how entwined our lives have become with technology.  In my mind, I’d thought I was almost exempt from this reality, because at our house we don’t have cable TV, high speed Internet–we don’t even have a land line for the phone. But as I’ve made the transition out of SonRise, I’ve  discovered that… Continue reading

  • Day 1: The British Museum & Library

    Below is the first journal entry recording the events of the trip Carolyn and I took to England and France in July of 2006: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 London, England Yesterday Carolyn and I took British Airways flight 224 to Heathrow Airport in London, England. We landed about 8:20 p.m., but it was another two… Continue reading

  • Take Me Out to the Ballgame

    What a beautiful, beautiful day on the Eastern Shore! I went to the Delmarva Shorebirds game (local Class A minor league baseball team). They played the Lake County Captains, and it was a pretty lame game until the eighth inning. It was so bad I almost left before the action started. It didn’t help that… Continue reading

  • Amazing Anonymous Blessing

    Wow.  I just found out that a friend of ours has been making the co-payment on our prescriptions for over a year.  Since I don’t pay much attention to insurance stuff, I just figured we paid something for it through our health plan.  But instead, a friend of ours who works at a pharmacy set… Continue reading

  • Newark Calvary Fellowship

    The Calvary Chapel was cool. It was called Newark Calvary Fellowship. The worship music was excellent–just a couple guitars and vocalists, and people really seemed to be into it. Very worshipful atmosphere. The pastor preached a message on James 3:1-12, and he did a really good job illustrating it and explaining its meaning. The people… Continue reading

  • Going to the Chapel and We’re… (insert music)

    It feels strange not to go to SonRise today, but it’s not because we’ve left already.  We’re  visiting Carolyn’s sister Kristen and her husband Michael.  They go to church at a Calvary Chapel.  I’m really looking forward to checking it out.  I’ll blog about it later. Continue reading
