Being of Man

The retreat was not what I expected, yet it went well. Being new to this group of men, but having attended this church for over a year, I found it uncomfortable being around a bunch of men whom I assumed already knew each other. That was groundless. Most guys didn’t know more than 1 or [...]

Riding Waves

I missed my opportunity to learn to surf in Hawaii many years ago. Despite that, I feel like I’ve been riding waves pretty well here.
Work has been busy. State testing for children went online and was a cluster F! It wasn’t my department’s deal, yet we were thrown under the wheels for it and had [...]

Not My Daddy’s Church

One of my saving graces during the last two years was finding a new church for me and the kids, and now Xx. You don’t get the traditional beg-for-money/1832-ish hymns/tradition for the sake of tradition kind of service. The service starts with a band that is tour worthy and a ‘communicator’ (he doesn’t consider [...]

Great Googally Moogally!

Sue me for not having a descriptive title, but I just wanted to type that!  Even the internet is trying to tease me using meaningful clues. I just saw I had 69 hits today. Hmmm, damn number.
Got in late tonight. I’m going to a small group meeting of church folks on Tuesday nights. It’s a [...]

stuff and a meme

Three things tonight.
1- Talking with my friend today, I stunned her in a conversation about some parents of teacher I taught. I said, “Just because they’ve gone to school, they think they know every f*ck*ng thing about education.” She stopped me and made me repeat myself. I did and she said she couldn’t believe I [...]

Eat Sh*t! :)

Somebody give my life a Via gra? It seems like it’s just getting harder. Heh. I’ve heard that if it lasts longer than four hours to seek medical attention. Hmm, going on how many months now? Medic!!!
First of all, thanks for the comments and the email. That was very kind. I told a [...]

Religion, Family history

Okay, I opened a vein. I guess, I’ll let it flow for a moment. This isn’t meant to ‘bring anyone to Jesus’ or convert you to Buddhism. It’s just where I’m coming from. Since I’m in disclaimer mode, I will also say that I’m not running from or hiding my religious background either. Think of [...]

Help Comes In Many Different Forms

I don’t pray as much as I should. My spiritual time is often the alone time I have between campuses, driving in the car with ‘good music’ blaring out the sunroof, or walking quietly up the road to get MonsterGyrl from daycare. (Lord knows that it’s only quiet on the way there! LOL.) Anyway, I [...]

Still Got A Ways To Go!

I wish I was more religious. I know God is there beside me, cuz I can feel his boot in my arse. But I just don’t have the faith one needs to move mountains or molehills. But I’m trying.
Went to a men’s Bible study last night for the first time. I think it’s going [...]

The One Where He Doesn’t Care About Looking Foolish

Happy Ne.. Uh, Joyus New Ye…., uh, Hey, it’s New Year’s Eve.
I wear my emotions on my sleeve. If I’m bothered, you know it. Some would say it’s a flaw, I think of it as honesty. The wife spent much time again with the other person while I was out of town with the [...]
