I had so many things to do this evening. I had phone calls to return. I had laundry to do. I should have read a bit of Augustine’s Confessions. I really REALLY should have listened to another “History of Christianity” lecture by your favorite lecturer and mine, Dr. John B. Toews:
But instead, I watched the [...]

Today, I slept until 8:00am. My morning plans changed late last night, thus affording me the opportunity to enjoy 8 1/2 delicious hours of deep sleep. It’s just that kind of day.
Today, I shared an idea in a meeting that could be revolutionary for SPU. Revolutionary in a small way, but still…it was a dang [...]

Today’s post is going to be a little bit scattered. You’ve been warned.
First things first…my wife. I know. I’m sure you’re all, puke…more gushy love talk. But seriously. Her new haircut is absolutely spectacular and I find myself staring at her like there are angels flying around her head holding chewy chocolate chip cookies wrapped [...]

My darling,
Yesterday was our second Valentines Day as a married couple. And while the world dressed up in pinks and reds and exchanged chocolates and flowers and dined at tables with white linens and sipped expensive wines, you and I celebrated in our own special way. I spent the day in meetings held in artificially-lit offices talking about [...]

So, this morning was the second morning of Lent. Remember how Lisa and I decided to give up morning TV? Well. Can I just say? It’s been hard.
I know…you’re probably like “what’s the big deal?” or “why can’t JJ and Lisa pull themselves away from the TV?” or “who cares about this crap, JJ…tell us more [...]
Two major problems with my new glasses

1. They slide down my nose. This isn’t really a big deal…it sort of comes with the glasses-wearing territory . The problem is, I find myself pushing my index finger up along the ridge of my nose to correct the problem. This motion, my friends, is the same motion I do when I am NOT [...]

Three excuses for not writing anything on this blog for the past week:

All my fingers were broken in a major gang fight, and it takes far too long to type anything [...]
