Nana, Popeye, and… Must Be One of My Uncles

It’s a great picture of how things were between them, but it’s also pretty weird because in this picture my grandmother looks like my dad’s identical twin: Continue reading

New CrossWay Sign!
Okay, so it’s not actually the new sign, but it’s a new sign. The youth group from Ohio painted over our old sign yesterday, which is great–that way we’ll at least have the right name on the sign until the brand new one comes in!

Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day! Today at CrossWay we’re looking at 5 things about our dads that we’re grateful for. (Or as my mom would have me say: Today at CrossWay we’re looking at 5 things about our dads for which we’re grateful. [It’s that whole ending-with-a-preposition thing.]) ANYway… There’s no question that we’re experiencing a crisis Continue reading
