That’s Right…. It’s a Leash!

August 30, 2008

I was at Warrenton High School’s first football game of the season tonight when I saw something groundbreaking. I haven’t seen it in years and years, but tonight it happened. I saw a child on a leash. Full chest and body harness, attached to a 1″ nylon chord. A leash. See for yourself here. That’s… [Read more…]

McCain & Palin = Van Halen?

August 29, 2008

In light of McCain’s announcement of his running mate last night/this morning in Ohio, I was struck more by their outtro music than the speakers themselves. Did anyone notice they walked off the stage to Right Now by Van Halen? The music sparked memories of a commercial using this song back in 1992. Can you… [Read more…]

Kudos to Dr. Piper and CO for finally pulling the trigger on a “no-brainer” tech move at OWU. Thanks to Seth Piper for the sweet postcard design.

Going Green

August 28, 2008

With all the hype in the world about going green, I figured we could do our part starting with our blog to represent the green movement. Actually, since we moved off the church campus and have city waste removal, we’ve started recycling. It’s cool because it doesn’t cost any extra since we live in the… [Read more…]

I learned this quote probably 10 or more years ago when I was in high school and struggling with anger and a short fuse. This had an enormous impact on my life. I came across it today in some studying and searching and thought I would share it. I hope it speaks to you as… [Read more…]

Timber Rattler Excitement!

August 19, 2008

My friend Keith called yesterday about 2:30pm saying “you won’t believe what I just caught!” Thinking it was a 15lb catfish, I shrugged him off but humored him with the response, “no idea, what?” “I was working in my shop when I saw something moving down by my foot on my welding cart. Keep in… [Read more…]

Tagged Vid #4!

We’ve been pushing our Tagged Ministry since January and retired Cletus in April or so. When we did, we started thinking of more ideas for promoting the ministry and the videos we would do. I’ll step out on a limb and say this one was by far the best since the retirement of Cletus. Tagged… [Read more…]

St. Louis Magic House

August 12, 2008

Today we went to a place that I had not been to since I was an itsy bitsy boy. The Magic House! Now, Magic is a metaphor for technology and advances in modern science. It explains how simple things work like electricity, the flow of water, air pressure propulsion, sound travel, all in ways that… [Read more…]
