Today’s Mailbox

Posted: 30 Mar 2007 08:19 AM CDT
A word from [Gunnery]Sergeant Krueger, USMC, to Speaker Pelosi:
How can you even think of pushing forward legislation to set a withdrawal date for US forces from Iraq? Do you know how much you embolden the insurgency here in Iraq? YOU ARE JEOPARDIZING THE LIVES OF US SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN [...]

Today is a “5.” No real reason (except maybe good ol’ hormones), but it just is.
It’s amazing how things can change over the course of a couple of days! Perspective has a lot to do with it – how you choose to look at the world, as if you’re looking out a window. Today, [...]

Had to be done

Thanks to Jules, and her link to a blog entry she found elsewhere and linked to, I found myself searching for something vaguely familiar, thinking it had to be someplace in the Psalms. In light of all of the general junk floating around in my head lately, this just had to be said. And who [...]

Big Steps

(Deep breath).
Well, I did it. I spoke with the pastor this morning about becoming a member of the church I started attending about 6-8 weeks ago.
In a way, it was kind of cool – this is the first time I’ve just stayed after church instead of going home right away, so I met people. [...]

After retriving my dog from the kennel on Sunday, in the throes of guilt, I decided to take him for a nice walk in the park. It was a beautiful day, and we could easily get in a good hour’s walk before dinner, so I thought, why not? Plus, the kennel people said that he’d [...]

Anticlimactic

Well, don’t I feel silly! All of my emotional investment in this weekend’s plans and my flight got cancelled! Not just the one I was supposed to be on last night, but all of them until at least Sunday evening!! (Sigh!)
Next time, and I hope there will be a next time, I’m going [...]

Eagles Up

Earlier, I wrote about the upcoming Gathering of Eagles event scheduled for Washington, D.C., tomorrow. I’ve checked in online, my sister is going to meet me at the airport (instead of at her office, which is across from one of the Metro stations), and we’re getting ready to join the Eagles in their answer to [...]

Housekeeping

It’s amazing what you find when you’re cleaning things out. I was going through some old emails, trying to diminish the amount of space I was using on the webmail server, and I found a column I’d saved from the Our Daily Bread website back in October of 2003.
In “Been Thinking,” Matt DeHaan wrote this [...]

The Cat’s Dead

There’s a story – maybe it’s a scene from a movie, maybe it’s just an email joke making the rounds, but it goes something like this:
This guy decides to leave his cat with his best friend who would come over to the house and live with his mom while he’s away. He told his friend, [...]

Sunday Best

Somewhat like the “third date,” the third visit to my new church was fraught with a little trepidation. I know where to sit so that I’m not sitting where other people usually sit – not a big deal, but polite. I know that many of the songs are in the hymn book and some are [...]
