Spirituality. Politics. Music. Life.
It’s Spring Break week, and even with all the crap having to do with our break-in, we’re going ahead with our plans to be gone. We’re headed to the lakehouse, and taking Maria’s friend Caroline with us She also happens to be the daughter of friends I’ve known since we were about their age. It’s […]
Read MoreTonight, we spent some time at the Garland Special Events Center for a Regional Science Fair display. We were there because Maria, and her friends Britney and Peyton, won the Grand Prize at Prestonwood’s Science Fair, advancing them to this regional event. As you can see from the picture, their project was titled “What Solvent […]
Read MoreMy daily grat for today will be Charles D, one of our Northaven members, who had surgery today. The surgery of a church member seems like a bizarre daily gratitude. But I think it will make sense in a moment. See, we had something really crappy happen last night. We were broken into. Somewhere between […]
Read MoreTonight, Northaven hosted graphic artist, Karen Blessen as a part of the Second Monday series. Karen is the only graphic artist to ever be awarded a Pulitzer Prize. But one of the things that distinguishes her art is how it is connected to her sense of spirituality. She talked to the group about “passage meditation,” […]
Read MoreJust got back from the New Member Dessert party for Northaven. It’s always such a great event. About ten or so church leaders, and ten or so new members gather for a little dessert, and some conversation about the church. I always love seeing the careful concern our church leaders show in describing the church, […]
Read MoreMaria had a gymnastics meet in Corinth last night. Corinth used to be a sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere. It was, arguably, the most rural part of the journey between Dallas and Denton. Now, it’s really just a suburb of Denton. It also used to be the turnoff for Lake Sharon, which […]
Read MoreWe played at Frisco tonight. It was another *great* show. Crowd of something over 200, and an offering of more than 2,500. We’ve got a nice rhythm to our set up and tear down. It takes lots of time and effort, but it’s nice to see how everybody pulls together. The next show, in Allen, […]
Read MoreYesterday’s blog entry was number 400 for “When EF Talks.” I started this blog mainly because it seemed like the thing to do. I wasn’t working my way through a Julia Child’s cookbook, tracking weight loss, or chronicling each moment of my family’s life. I mainly just figured: “I like to write, blogs are popular, […]
Read MoreI’m not sure how to write this entry without sounding overly proud. I get that perhaps nobody outside a candidate and her family can understand this “Daily Gratitude.” But it’s one that rings true inside our house today. Dennise was uncontested in the Democratic Primary election yesterday. She got 100 percent of the votes cast. […]
Read MoreToday is election day. If you have yet to vote here in Texas, I certainly hope you will. Yes, it’s “just” a primary election. But *all* elections are important. And the reality of primaries are that, with turnout *far* less than in general elections, your own influence is arguably far greater. I wrote this a […]
