Insights & Outsights from a Guy Trying to Follow Jesus


Food

  • Taco Night

    One dollar tacos.  Support education.  Read about it at the blog of Pastor Kyle from SonRise Church. Continue reading

  • Thursday

    Yesterday was a pretty good Thursday, though kind of crazy (the Thursday before Easter always is). The day started with breakfast at Denovo’s, which is where my small group meets.  It was our second meeting, and was great (as was the creamed chipped beef over biscuits with Tabasco sauce–and they are masters at keeping the Continue reading

  • Two-Dollar Catheterizations at McDonald’s

    One of my brothers refers to McDonald’s as “McLaxatives” because of the unintended medicinal value of their food products.  Now they have apparently decided to expand their healthcare services.  At the McDonald’s near my house, they’re offering help–and comparatively inexpensive help–for those who are having difficulties ridding their bodies of liquid waste products.  Here’s the Continue reading

  • Top 10 Cool Things I Did Last Week

    Here’s the official list of the Top 10 Cool Things I Did Last Week: (10) Continued reading a book I borrowed from my dad.  It’s called Gilead and is written by Marilynne Robinson. (9) Went to La Tolteca in Salisbury for lunch with Carolyn and her family. (8) Downloaded the Dropkick Murphys version of “Amazing Continue reading

  • Caffeinated Art

    Last night my brother-in-law Michael created a caffeinated masterpiece.  He’s already a very talented latte maker, but last night he added some coconut depth that just took it to a whole new level.  It was so delicious it made me emotional–for a minute I thought I might even cry.  It was just beyond words; it Continue reading

  • Hooper’s Feast

    Last night Hooper’s Crab House on the bay in Ocean City held a fundraiser for the Training Station.  Fundraiser, indeed–the place was packed!  They are very generously giving every penny to the preschool.  It was a ton of fun hanging out with everyone!  And, of course, the food totally rocked. Continue reading

  • Station 7…We’ll Meet Again Someday

    Yesterday I went to lunch with Daryl & John at Station 7.  It’s always great to hang out with those two!  I’ve learned so much from them about so many things, and now that list has expanded to include fatherhood; more specifically, they’ve been coaching me on the intricacies of being a husband during pregnancy and Continue reading

  • Famous Dave’s

    Yesterday Carolyn and I went to Famous Dave’s in Salisbury.  She went to one in Annapolis with some of her teacher friends a few months ago, and has been a big fan ever since.  We went there together several weeks back, at which point I also became a big fan. So we’ve been waiting anxiously Continue reading

  • Double Whammy

    Don’t you just love those spoonfuls of Spaghettios where you get not one but two meatballs?!? Continue reading

  • Pastors Meeting, Complete With Steak

    Today I went to a meeting of Mennonite pastors at Sandy Hill Community Church in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.  Normally I don’t make these lunch meetings because they’re three hours away, but I found out about this one several weeks ahead of time so I made it a priority on the calendar. It was good to see Continue reading
