I was talking to Luke the other night on the topic of sunburns. He and I do not typically sunburn but when we do, it tends to be pretty stunning. A couple years back, he managed to get sunburnt armpits due to “unfortunate arm pit shirt holes” and a failure to sunscreen said armpits. I [...]

Over the summer, BCC (warning: link contains horrible, horrible midi music and things that are animated) is doing a series called The Way and it’s focus is on how Jesus’ life showed us the Way we should pattern our lives. I haven’t been around for the whole thing to this point (birthdays and sanctuary dedication [...]
My mum and younger sister took a trip to the east coast recently and got back in time for us to celebrate my mum’s birthday (which is today. We got her an orchid which she had apparently ‘always wanted’ so good going, Amy, for picking that out). They had a really good time meeting some [...]
I am always interested to see what people carry around with them and so I will inflict my interest/nosiness/curiosity on you but in reverse. In addition, this gives me a good reason to clean the thing out. Here are the things I commonly carry about with me. This is the 2007 model of Ogio’s Hiphop [...]

I switched us over primarily because we would stop getting emails if we didn’t clear things [...]
We have something of a tradition of going out for dinner at least every other week or so. This is something we’ve done pretty much since we got married. We like to go on dates despite having been married for six and a half years. I have previously mentioned, we’ve made a policy of going [...]
I am not a golfer. Of all the words that could be used to describe me (debonair, handsome, witty), golfer is not even in the top 200,000. I am an adequate mini-putt participant but hand me anything beyond a bent putter and I am all at sea. It is an activity that I have no [...]
This evening we sat down with my brother- and sister-in-law to add some structure to our nebulous plans for our east coast trip this summer. We’re doing a bit of a rehash of our last summer’s trip but this year we are taking two weeks instead of just one in the probably vain hope that [...]
