Follow the Beard
7 years old
“Seven” Missing teeth. Who needs meat. I have eyes and ears To feed on life. Let’s go fast. Let’s rocket blast. I can climb the rope To the top of the gym. Tickle me. Wrestle me. You be the monster again, Dad. Just the pretend kind. I don’t like REAL monster Dad. I am seven. [...]
Grieving
The past month was a blur, but sooner or later reality begins to sink in. And when you aren’t ready for it, it hits you the hardest.
I thought I was ready for it. When it comes to losing someone you love…
I don’t think you can ever be ready for it.
Hello Hurricane
Switchfoot.
There are many reasons to like this band…
What I like most about them is that they write good music.
Those of you who knew about Hello Hurricane already know…
And those of you who didn’t know, probably don’t care.
But this album is probably their best one yet.
Listening – The Universal Love Language
I don’t know if you’ve read The Five Love Languages book. I read it not too long after Melanie and I were married. There were some things in that book that I really didn’t like, but I also remember it being helpful in some ways…
Weezer, "If You're Wondering If I Want You To (I want you to)"…do better
Weezer’s newest album, Raditude, came out this week.
I don’t have much to say about it because it’s not very good. I hope they just needed to get this out of their system.
And if the album was meant to just be a joke. I don’t really get it.
Weezer, you can do better than this.
I will leave all you readers on a good note though.
Trick or…RAISINS?!!!
We spent October 31st at Melanie’s parents house in Cleveland, Ohio. The kids had been looking forward to celebrating their freedom as Protestants on Reformation Day by dressing up in costumes and getting candy from nice neighbors.
Turns out that Grandma Hawkins has some really nice neighbors…
Eulogy for Dad
My Dad’s funeral was on Monday…

How do we deal with suffering and evil?
