Building Legos, Building Children

I sat on the floor with my three year old son, surrounded my thousands and thousands of little LEGO pieces.  “Wow!”, I thought to myself, “this is a pretty daunting task!” We were attempting to rebuild my X-Wing LEGO starfighter from 1999.  The problem was that the X-Wing pieces had been mixed in with thousands … Continue reading Building Legos, Building Children

These past two weeks I've shared some thoughts on Psalm 23.  Today, I want to look at the final section of this great song of David.

Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 23 Part 2

I love the Psalms.  They are such rich, authentic prayers by real, broken people.  Last week, I shared some reflections on the first part of Psalm 23.  Today, I want to look at the middle section of Psalm 23. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no … Continue reading Reflections on the Psalms: Psalm 23 Part 2

Fitness Friday: The Tyranny of the Scale

I weigh myself everyday.  Sometimes twice a day.  Experts recommend that you don't do that.  Whatever.  However- when you do that, what can happen is you experience what I like to call the Tyranny of the Scale.  Most people, when they are losing weight, will lose a few pounds, then gain a pound, then plateau … Continue reading Fitness Friday: The Tyranny of the Scale
