Lots of things change once you get married. Some are big, and you see them coming- home arrangements, lifestyle changes, eating habits, etc. And other things are smaller, more innocuous, and take you by surprise. For example, I had no idea that Kelli and I would become such avid video […]

“Relient K’s Covers EP – Ranked” by Josh Taylor
Relient K is releasing a brand new EP of cover songs next Tuesday, June 28th, titled K is for Karaoke. The EP serves as a precursor for a full album with the same title releasing October 4th. With the new EP almost here, I’m ranking the songs as a countdown from the […]
“Take Heart! Everyone Else is as Stupid as You” by Josh Taylor
In high school, I was the definition of a puppy dog crush, chasing this girl around as best I could without being too obvious. She always seemed cool, collected, calculated, mysterious… all the things I was not, growing up. I was attracted to that, but also saw it as a […]
“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 […]
“If I could change one thing about you, I wouldn’t.” by Josh Taylor
If there is one point my dad tried to hammer into me when I was younger, it’s that you can’t change anybody. People can change their own behaviors, and God can change their hearts, but you are responsible for you. It’s the great struggle. The inevitable inner-turmoil we all stare down at […]
“Where I Act Like a Wife and She Acts Like a Husband” by Josh Taylor
Anyone who knows Kelli and I knows that I’m the talker and she’s the quiet one. Not by definition, but if you had to decide which of those title went to which, I’d be the talker and she’d be the quiet one. I’m a little more outgoing, a little more […]
“Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things” by Josh Taylor
Kelli and I love grocery shopping together. Maybe it’s the fact we were both initially so nervous about being the sole shoppers for our new home, with no experienced mothers in the mix to keep things on the rails. Or maybe it’s just that we’re enjoying getting good at it. […]
“That Our Home May Be a Praise” by Josh Taylor
I absolutely love my parents’ home. It was mine too for eighteen or so years. Let me tell you a little about it. The home actually starts on the front lawn. Back in the day, that’s where all the neighborhood kids knew the best game of touch football could be […]
“I don’t provide for my wife.” by Josh Taylor
It was 5:45PM, and I wasn’t happy. Friday had been stressful. I was pulled into another department for most of the day at work, and by the time I was done with my duties there, I had about three hours of my work left to do, and two hours to […]
“Fact or Fiction: How Good Is House of Heroes?” by Josh Taylor
In celebration of the release of House of Heroes’ Suburba today, and in marveling at what a fantastic release it is, I wanted to dedicate this post to them. I’ve been browsing the web, and I can’t really find a negative word about it yet. In fact, most music critics so far […]
