Surfing the Inner N8

Insights & Outsights from a Guy Trying to Follow Jesus

  • Who’s That?

    The church I started pastoring this week has a preschool called the Training Station.  I have a feeling it’s going to be a great source of inspiration and entertainment. A few minutes ago I got to sit in on the Bible story that Ms. Grace taught.  It was great!  She really has a gift for… Continue reading

  • Whew

    Cyberspace.   I totally do NOT want to be a cyberastronaut.  I’ve been out there for a week or two and have been without cyberoxygen. I attempted to switch over to GoDaddy.com without messing up this blog, so I could set up email there.  It didn’t work.  Nothing there worked.  I think I’ll lie down here… Continue reading

  • Day 2: Warwick Castle

    Below is the second journal entry recording the events of the trip Carolyn and I took to England and France in July of 2006: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 London, England This morning we had breakfast again with the opera people, who told us the very interesting story of how they met. There was also a… Continue reading

  • 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
