“Facing the Giants”
On Saturday, Carolyn and I watched Facing the Giants. Yeah, I know–what kind of Christian waits so long to see this movie? Oh well. If it makes you feel better, I did see part of it back in February. The movie has a really good storyline and some good dialogue. Unfortunately, much of the acting… Continue reading

Creed: God the Father
Yesterday at CrossWay we continued our Creed series by opening a three-week exploration of God. The whole premise of the Creed series–in which we’re taking a look at Mennonite beliefs–is that our beliefs determine our behavior. Look at the way a person acts, and you can see what they believe. So when we talk about… Continue reading

Happy Birthday, Jazlyn!

Chapstick Conspiracy Theory
Another chapstick post. I was starting to wonder why I kept blogging about chapstick, but the mystery was solved when I stumbled upon this website (which hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade–a record, perhaps?). Apparently there’s a conspiracy theory floating around about the addictive qualities of chapstick. Click on the site above to explore… Continue reading

Third Way Cafe
Recently I came upon a really cool website that I’m adding to my “Links to Check Out.” It’s called “Third Way Cafe” and is a fascinating and interactive website with all kinds of Mennonite information. It’s one of my favorite websites now, and is easily the best Mennonite website I’ve seen. You can check it… Continue reading

Kids Rock
Over the weekend one of Carolyn’s students from last year, now in first grade, made her a card and gave it to her yesterday. Here are pictures of the front and inside: She explained that the people in the drawings are herself and “Miss Hyde.” Is that absolutely precious or what?!? Continue reading
