Sunday morning my wife and I will be joining a Disciples of Christ congregation in Nashville. It marks the end of a two and a half year search for a spiritual home since first contemplating the move back to middle Tennessee, and a wonderful beginning. We sat down with the senior pastor after services last [...]

It has stood as a symbol of American consumerism for decades: the tradition of “Black Friday” shopping. It has been taught almost as a civic duty for men, women and children to rise early the day after Thanksgiving and run up a credit card balance that is not fully paid down until spring of the [...]

In recognition of tomorrow’s holiday, I humbly submit the following:
I am thankful for the friendships that have persisted and those that have grown in the past year. It is always a pleasure when we come together, whether that be to celebrate milestones or just dropping in for a quick meal while in town.

It was during one of Mother Nature’s recent mood swings [...]

Saturday morning my wife and I went to have our church directory pictures made. It was the first time that we have had our pictures taken professionally in our two years of marriage or five years together. We had a number of candid pictures taken over the years by friends, but nothing of a formal [...]

We are now 24 hours removed from the start of the loud countdown to the west coast poll closings at the bar last night. I will take down the sticker on my site some time before the weekend and go back to my normal routine of keeping politics out of polite conversation. While I have [...]

Greetings from the Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville! We are here tonight to watch the United States elections play out on the world’s stage. You would think it was the Super Bowl for as many people that have crammed into this room to stare at a television. The first returns have started to flow in, [...]
