Okay, here it is. After much research, consideration, and pirate prospecting (not as dirty as it sounds...unless you ask a studio executive), I present to you my top five highlights from Comic-Con 2015. Enjoy! #5 - Fox's Deadpool / Fantastic 4 / X-Men: Apocalypse Gotta' give these guys low marks out of the gate for… Continue reading Comic-Con 2015: reflections, predictions, and knee-jerk reactions

the big reveal
Halloween costumes have been the subject of much colorful discussion this year in my circles. First there was this cartoon, which I saw posted on several Facebook pages but most notably on A Mighty Girl: Somewhat related, several of my coworkers have loudly bemoaned their difficulties in finding the perfect work-appropriate costume that is fun… Continue reading the big reveal

The first week of Lent is finished, and I am happy to report that it was largely a success. My girls and I accomplished all of our goals and stayed faithful to the promises we made.

the stuff of dreams and lent
Last night, I had an epic trilogy of nightmares. In Part I, I was first pursued, then held hostage by a serial killer.

fallow ground is HARD
It's the first Monday of the New Year - how are those resolutions coming? When it comes to New Year's resolutions, the people I know tend to fall into one of three categories: 1. The super-disciplined, who can and do make self-improvements on a regular basis regardless of the season. These guys see goals as… Continue reading fallow ground is HARD

I am a Christian. I have been an active believer in local churches for all thirty-seven years of my life. I probably fall toward the conservative side of the pew when it comes to tradition and doctrine, and I actively enjoy apologetics, eschatology, and inductive Bible studies. And it is with a full heart that… Continue reading happy
