After Lent – Day 1

I don’t think I’ll continue to number my posts as I did during Lent, but I’m out of ideas for today.  Whether the weekend is two days long or four days long it always feels like it should have been longer by at least one day. No complaints about a great weekend, but I will […]

Lent Day 29 – 25 for me

Following up from yesterday’s post, I had this really great moment at the passport office today.  I was dropping applications for two of my kids and my wife.  It’s easy enough for me to bike down from work over lunch, so it’s a good job for me. So I got up to the “triage” window […]

Lent – Day 9

On Thursdays my two youngest children go to an after school program near our house and I get to pick them up when I’m done work.  They don’t love this after school program and so they’re generally pretty pleased to see me and they get ready quickly to head home for dinner. It comes after […]

Finding the Joy

I thought I would spend more time talking about pornography on this blog.  It was sort of the central idea behind it – it’s in the title after all.  But I find that I’m just not thinking about it that much right now (which is good – I’m not supposed to be thinking about porn […]
