I was sitting here trying to think of a project to recommend for this week, and when I opened iTunes, “Say” by PFR came on. Like a warm blanket or a steamy cup of hot cocoa on a frigid evening, the melodic vocals of Joel Hanson and the encouraging lyrics of “Let me […]

“Top 10 Worst Baby Bathtime Moments” by Amy DiBiase
So, it has occurred to me recently, that the most practical place to blog from is my cell phone. In this day & age with Smart phones and all, I feel like I should take advantage of this amazing piece of technology right in the palm of my hand. Not […]
“A New Resolve” by J.M. Farro
I’ve always found the ending of an old year, and the beginning of a new year, bittersweet. When 2010 recently came to a close, it was no different. While I was excited about what new things 2011 would bring, I couldn’t help but feel a bit wistful about the unanswered […]
10 Years Later: Audio Adrenaline, “Hit Parade”
For some time now, I’ve debated on launching this new blog section that will take aim at revisiting music that released ten years ago. It’s interesting to see how much things can change in the world and in life in just a decade and music is a good example of […]
We Recommend: The Classic Crime, “The Silver Cord”
It’s very possible I’m in the minority when I say this, but when The Classic Crime released their third record Vagabonds last year, I felt the result was particularly underwhelming. It definitely wasn’t a horrific record, but I felt many of the tracks weren’t especially powerful (with a couple bordering on slightly offensive). And when compared […]
“When Our Grand Kids Want to Hear the Story” by Josh Taylor
It’s 2005, and I’m a nervous high school senior with a serious crush on the prettiest girl at school. Likelihood of feelings being reciprocated are hanging somewhere between not likely and absolutely not. Try as I may to focus on other things, to be mature and not let this silly […]
“The Mr. Mom Chronicles Begin” by John DiBiase
Yes, it’s true. It’s been quite some time since I last reflected on what many believe to be “The Joys of Parenting.” Since I’ve last written, I’ve struggled with adopting the idea that the phrase “The Joys of Parenting” is either a big inside joke, or something that a poor […]
“Out with the old, in with a New Year” by John DiBiase
I like the New Year holiday. I think it does has something to do with the fact that I happen to like shiny new things, but I also love the idea of a clean slate. A new year… a new month… a new date. January always feels fresh even though, […]
“Make the Most of Your Time” by J.M. Farro
I don’t always manage my time wisely, and even when I do, there are times when I can’t help but run late for things. Fortunately, the Lord taught me that because He is the great Redeemer, I can ask Him to “redeem” the time, so that I can be more […]
“A Christmas Not Soon Forgotten…” by Michael Weaver
I should have known this Christmas was going to be a trying one about a week before Christmas Day. My wife, Kelli, woke up sick on Tuesday morning and called in to work. After things did not get better, she went to the doctor. Merry Christmas, you have the flu! […]
