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

11 Weeks

A friend of ours from the Training Station recently loaned us a book called Pregnancy Week By Week. It’s really cool because the people that wrote it seemed to have thought of everything possible related to pregnancy. There’s a chapter for each week of pregnancy, and in each chapter they explain what’s going on with Continue reading

This Sunday, CrossWay Church will celebrate our 25th anniversary. The church began as Ocean City Mennonite Church the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 1983.

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

If God had a “to do” list for today, that would be interesting to see what was on it. Continue reading

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mom’s birthday. But I won’t tell you how old she is, because you’re not supposed to give away a lady’s age, especially when she’s got more years than Heinz does varieties. Happy birthday, Mom!!! Continue reading

Gems About Writing

Recently I got together over lunch with Randy Walter, editor of the Manna (a Christian newspaper for Maryland’s Eastern Shore). He’s got a lot of wisdom and experience in the realm of Christian publishing, as well as a full cache of fascinating stories. We had some delicious crab cakes as we talked about writing. Some Continue reading

About Me

Hey, I’m Nathan Hyde. My wife and I, who are both teachers, have been married for most of this century and have one daughter. Things I enjoy doing are spending time with family and students, studying the Bible, reading great books, visiting new places, walking my dog, and sitting in my recliner doing absolutely nothing. Favorite Bible verses are Joshua 1:9 and Leviticus 13:40.
