This afternoon we got a new picture of Taye…
The first thing we’re doing is giving him a bath and getting him a new stylist, and maybe we’ll get him the new stylist first. My boy CANNOT wear a pink sweatsuit with HEARTS! I don’t mind pink; in fact I’m a fan of pink, but that [...]

About a month ago I sat with my co-host Matt in our DV:FX planning meeting. We decided that we would start from scratch and write our DV:FX family production this month. We took the virtue for the month, kept the reoccurring characters, and brought in our creative team to plot out a new storyline. We [...]

OK. I’ll admit it. When it comes to economics, I’m an idiot. I’m hardly good with my own money much less understanding they way the global economy works.
I just finished reading an article about how Ford Motor Co. is mostly like going to have to draw most of the $10.1 BILLION(!) bailout loan the US [...]

Matthew 10
As I read this chapter, I imagine 12 teenagers. Maybe they are sitting at one of their parent’s houses or in a court yard somewhere. They’re listening to their rabbi give them some instructions: “Go here, preach this on your way. When you get where you’re going, heal the sick and raise the dead.” [...]

I read a lot. Like A LOT. Out of the 70 or so books that I read this year here are a few that stand out in no particular order…. Not necessarily because I agreed with everything or just enjoyed them so much, but because they expanded my thoughts of life and how I am [...]

Genesis 6.8
This verse gets me every time. “but Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.”
Above all of the noise and chaos of the world around him, Noah stood out as a man of integrity and faith, and obvious courage. These attributes that would lead him to finish building a huge boat and help [...]

No surprise that I love Christmas music. Seriously love it. Perhaps it’s because I really can only get away with listening to it maybe a month and half out of the year – two months at most (though in Grand Rapids, one radio station began Christmas music before Halloween – crazy people!). But now that [...]

In a meeting this week with my mentor, he asked me a question that he says that he’s never asked another church employee. I guess being that we’ve been meeting almost every Tuesday for over a year and have discussed most topics that would be considered “hot,” this was no big deal. The question was [...]

I had an early start to the morning because of men’s group. On the way, the Jeep spun a 180 on a nice ole patch of Michigan black ice. Thankfully no one was around, and the spinning was fun… rather than tragic.
It’s only 11:30, and my morning has been filled with script writing, e-mail correspondence, [...]

A few nights ago I began reading The Undertaking by Thomas Lynch. A co-worker of mine thought it would be my kind of book, called it a must read. For not knowing him very long, he was right. This is my kind of book and so far I’m engrossed.
On the surface the book seems disturbing, [...]
