Robyn and I watched an interesting movie last night. Directed by Michael Bay, the king of explosions and light exposition, the film was surprisingly deep and brought up many questions about identity, humanity, and what makes a person a person. No, I’m not talking about Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, although that film doesContinue reading “The Island: Eternity in Their Hearts”

Not a Door
This is not a door. The label on the “not a door” clearly states the fact. And yet, I’m inclined to disbelieve the label in some ways. This clearly was, at one time, a door. There are hinges, a door frame, and that bright blue thing with the label on it is what I wouldContinue reading “Not a Door”
It’s All About Faith
It’s all about faith. It’s all about faith! The beauty of belief in the hidden things! It’s all about faith! This is a song the kids learned at VBS this year. I love this song and what it says, as I’m one of those adults who tends to not look at life through the eyesContinue reading “It’s All About Faith”
Road Trip 2009: The Seventh Day
We awakened early on the seventh day. We were nearly an hour outside of Yosemite, and we wanted to be there shortly after the park opened. I was the first one up, ready to go quickly, and by the time the rest of the family was dressed and fed, it was only 8 am. IContinue reading “Road Trip 2009: The Seventh Day”
Road Trip 2009: The Sixth Day
We said goodbye to the City by the Bay. It was a fun time, and we will probably come back. There’s no way we saw all the historical sites we wanted to see. Before we left though, we had a visit to make. Our hotel was just south of the Golden Gate National Cemetery inContinue reading “Road Trip 2009: The Sixth Day”
Road Trip 2009: Day Five
Now I know why my mother, the National Park junkie, wanted to come with us on this trip. We visited several amazing National Parks and Historic Sites in and around San Francisco, and were blown away by the beauty and history of this city. We decided to start the morning off at The Presidio, theContinue reading “Road Trip 2009: Day Five”
Road Trip 2009: Day Four
San Francisco is full of wonders. We started the day a little late, enjoying a Sunday morning for sleeping in–something we don’t usually get around our family, due to my job at church. I did wake up early enough to think of the gang at New Life Church and pray for a great day forContinue reading “Road Trip 2009: Day Four”
Road Trip 2009: Day Three
I never thought I could look at a tree and see the face of God. Yesterday, (Saturday, August 1), we drove through the Redwoods National Park and saw some nice trees and some beautiful coastline. We stopped at the Park Information Center and picked up Passport Books for August and Autumn, and the kids allContinue reading “Road Trip 2009: Day Three”
Road Trip 2009: The Second Day
After a great first day, we got off to a slow start again on the second day. We slept in a bit, ate an awkward breakfast with the rest of the residents of the Comfort Inn–awkward because we are a family of six being forced to sit and eat at a table created for four. Continue reading “Road Trip 2009: The Second Day”
