    Spin Cycle – Con’t

    You may or may not have seen my blog over at the Church.  If not, check it here.  You’ll see that we’ve had trouble with our washing machine.  I finally gave up. After all the drama that I mentioned in the other blog, I took off the spin belt & took it in to the…

  • Is the Ground Cold?

    I was talking to my dad the other day.  As sometimes happens, the conversation turned political.  Now, when I think about politics and where my father and I generally stand, I think it’s fair to say that I lean decidedly to the “left” while he seems to be one who is just a little right of center. …

  • A Brilliant Waste of Time!

    Ok.  So first, be warned that the information I’m about to share is dangerous.  If you’re anywhere near the geek that I am or were raised anywhere near the 80s, this could end any semblance of time management.  Know it.  Embrace it.  Love it.  Now that we’re through that, check out this site:  http://ldd.lego.com.  Welcome…

  • Lessons Learned (be careful reading this one)

    Last week before 8am (so before it was really legitimate to be aware or in any way relate to the world) there was a car accident right in front of our house.  Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration.  It was really about half-way between our neighbor’s house and ours.  So it was a good…

  • I Got In!

    I got the call yesterday…  I’ve been accepted to Claremont School of Theology!  I’m so excited and so humbled to be on this next part of a wonderful and fulfilling journey.  I’ll start this Fall in the M. Div. program.  Mostly, I’m having trouble not jumping up & down every 5 minues…

  • School News

    I’ve been working hard at this school stuff.  This is hard!  It’s been well worth it, though.  I’ve already posted my admission to CST.  While I wait for the start in September, I’ve been continuing work on my Bachelor’s degree.  I just got my grades from last session and found out that I got two…

  • Spirituality vs. Religion

    One of the classes I’m taking this session is called “Spirituality and Mental Health.”  It’s an on-line class, so everything is done through response to online questions in a community forum.  The first question from this class was really interesting, and I thought I’d post the question and my thoughts here.  So here we go.…

  • Spirit Quest 2008

    A couple of weeks ago, I spent the weekend with over 200 Jr. High kids.  Am I crazy?  Maybe…  It was a weekend that will go down as one of the best in memory.  The theme was based on “Life is a Highway” (originally written by Tom Cochrane & covered recently by Rascall Flatts) with…

  • Something New

    I’ve got a new page here (or click the “Bob’s Music” link above).  Leave a comment on the page & share your thoughts…

  • Vacation

    Wow!  I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted.  I’m sorry about that.  We spent a week with some friends at their parents’ house down in San Felipe, Mexico.  It was a difficult week.  I was there to work (yes it’s true).  Our goal was to share the incoming satellite internet connection between two…
