The WOW Starts with Apple

February 3, 2007.Reading time 31 minutes.

Early on, I drank deeply from the Apple Koolaid. I’ve been a Mac guy ever since. Unabashedly. Unapologeticly. Unrepentantly. Unwaveringly. When I was younger, I used to get into long debates, and enjoyed the tit for tat fight of “Mac vs. PC.” But as I got older, I tired of that. I no longer debate […]

Snow!

February 2, 2007.Reading time 4 minutes.

It wasn’t a lot of snow. It didn’t even cover the ground because of all the rain that preceded it and the mild temperatures of the days before. But it snowed here today. It snowed for an hour and a half where we were. Big, wet flakes that vanished when they hit the ground, but […]

A Brighter Day: Hopes for 2007

January 1, 2007.Reading time 8 minutes.

Here at home with the family this New Year’s Eve. We’re spending a very lazy and quiet evening at home, and it’s wonderful. Honestly, these days any evening we all get at home together is wonderful. And we’ve actually spent much of this holiday being homebodies…as we were at Thanksgiving too. Longtime friends/readers will note […]

Time’s Person of the Year: Congrats to YOU (And Me)

December 24, 2006.Reading time 10 minutes.

At first, I thought the editors at Time had lost their minds. Of all the heros, goats, and villains of 2006, the best they could come up with was to name “YOU” as “Person of the Year?!” As I joked in my last post, I suppose this means we all get to put that on […]

Blog Trends: November 06

December 2, 2006.Reading time 5 minutes.

The craziness of the election caused me to neglect my usual summary of the “most-read blogs” these past few month. But as life returns to normal, so does this regular blog feature. It’s gratifying to know that my little blog is being more widely read all the time. Statistics show that, on average, 120-140 people […]

Trust Reunion’s Not In Vain (About the Trip Back to Sequoyah

April 19, 2006.Reading time 19 minutes.

In both the ancient languages of Greek and Hebrew, the words for “wind” and the words for “spirit” are exactly the same. So, there is something deeply spiritual about being with a group of people who help you test where the winds are blowing. I think that, in the more recent years since my Sequoyah-time […]

Return to Sequoyah

April 6, 2006.Reading time 2 minutes.

I’m headed back to Mount Sequoyah today, the retreat center that inspired the song. And, I’m heading back to see many of the very people that inspired the song, actually. One of our group of friends, Larry Norman, has orchestrated a reunion of sorts, and many of our old gang are up there all this […]
