so recently my three year old son, roman xavier (yes that is his first name – so what if there are two of them, that is just how his mom and i roll), broke my brand new ipad 2. and by brand new i mean i have had it for three weeks now. and by break i mean he was watching voltron on netflix with the ipad on his lap, he moved, it fell, the screen cracked.

the universally spectacular promise of a messiah
believe it or not i am a nerd… a class a geek…i know the all of the dialog to the first three star wars movies, the originals.
you see, i grew up in a very remote part of northern california near the border of oregon. being so far out we had a wonderful view of the night time sky where i could see the milky way, our galaxy in all of its glory.
in the 80′s when haley’s comment came through i was able to see it without a telescope. this fascination with the stars lead me to wonder about the galaxy and space and as such i gravitated naturally to science fiction. i grew up truly wanting to live a long time ago, in a galaxy far away.

the challenge of the bible
in 2006 i came up with an idea of how i could get myself to read through the Bible on a regular and consistent basis. this is much tougher than you would think for a guy who spent the first three weeks of his married life unknowingly ignoring his wife because he was so used to spending the majority of his free time reading. put another way, i am a book-a-holic. my idea of a good date with my wife before we got married was to go to star bucks, get a coffee and spend the next two hours browsing the bookstore.
