- Photo-a-Day February, A Preface preface/these are the rules 1. I will only post photos I’ve taken with my no-frills, much-loved Kodak. 2. I will only post photos I’ve taken that day. 3. I will not write anything, except for a word or three within the photo. (As I’ve done above.) 4. I will do my best to answer any […]
- So-Saucey Before we commence with the non-written February, let me tell you about Sosauce. Sosauce is the newest, hippest, most-thoughtful social networking platform yet. It combines elements of blogging, travel-logging, photo-sharing, and networking, and is focused on user-generated content. Unlike Myspace/Facebook, Sosauce majors on people sharing good stories–stories that will provoke us to live differently. It […]
- You’re Cheering Me Up/I’m Thanking You I am very grateful for all of you who have been writing me iTunes prescriptions to bandage my wounds. Doctors, nurses, and onlookers, I offer each of you this (delicately happy) free/legal mp3. This is a digital thank you note. Apparently this is the gal who penned that Feist hit “1234.” “Cheer Me Up Thank […]
- Passion Which Has Outgrown Us I have had a strange relationship with my guitar since leaving Portugal in the summer of ’06. I think we both needed a rest. This fact was accentuated by the airline crushing my Fender acoustic/electric in multiple places on the transcontinental ride home. They gave me a refund check. I used it to pay the […]
- Pocket-Sized Feast Enabler I finally bought myself a pocket-sized TNIV today. It is soft. It looks like a Boeing 737. It is not going to weigh down my bike ride. In truth, I was drawn to the name of its outer “style,” the Italian Duo-Tone. I am Italian. We can be a duo. I realized today that it […]
- Oh Reader, Be My iTunes Doctor Well, Pearl the iBook has returned home after her heart-surgery. She is made new. But her hard-drive heart was given a fresh transplant. Translation: I’ve lost some of my favorite iTunes albums that I foolishly did not backup. Sure, I backed up the important documents and such, but some mp3’s I’d purchased missed the rescue […]
- When it Rains in My City When it rains, I must ask others to drive me to work. On days when the rain comes suddenly, they give my bike a ride, too. I like the rainy day car conversations. They come as unexpectedly as the rain. We sit and squint through the wipers in the front seat, and the periwinkle Schwinn […]
- So Unconcernedly Still and Wide These days I am finding that the Spirit talks to me just as loudly through old poets as through ancient Scripture. I wrote this down a few days before the New year, as I re-read Letters to a Young Poet. There is so much that we are waiting for, but there is no measuring with […]
- Hold the Phones (Again) + Apples of Gold Hold the phones (again) people! My dear friend, Sarah Painter Constable, is now blogging her way through life in New York City. The brilliant actor-woman herself has already even posted some pre-screened movie reviews to help you decide what is worth your time in 2008. Check out her stuff: The Joy Year. This only strengthens […]
- Oh, February Comes With Pictures. I would like to offer an explanation for the unnecessarily narcissistic new header. I have decided that in February I will let this blog rest from words. I will continue to post, but without any paragraphs. I am going to do a photo-a-day February, and see what happens. I will likely put a word or […]
- Quiet Now, God’s Calling – Synchroblog This post is part of a global Synchroblog on the (hefty) topic of “God’s Choice in Using the Foolish and Our Understanding of Calling.” Be sure to check out the list of other writers at the end of this post, as each will have a unique spin on this topic. If you’d like to participate […]
- Resolutions for You, 2008 In an effort to live more transparently, I offer you the resolutions/goals that I’ve finally settled on for this year. Have you any of your own? Give me the link or the list… 1. Run in a race that I have no business running in. Train, enjoy, laugh a lot at myself. 2. Audit as […]
