September 11 Remembrance

This post originally appeared on a blog I no longer maintain. Today is a day to remember. (I posted this originally in 2007.) I remember it clearly. There was a staff meeting that day so I'd driven up to Buffalo (an hour and a half drive)for the 9 AM meeting. In fact I had turned... Continue Reading →

The Lunch That Conquered Defeat

(A repost of some of my earlier blogging on other sites.  I am occasionally re-posting ones that I think are interesting.  Originally posted December 17, 2008) When I woke up this morning I knew it wasn't any better. My lady wife has been asking me for days if something was wrong and I kept telling... Continue Reading →

Creativity and Faith

I'm not sure I have spent as much time on anything in my life as I have on the time topics in the title.  Once upon a time, the Christian church was one of the great supporters of artistic creation.  Today, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that one of the great stumbling blocks...

A Little Heart

(A repost of some of my earlier blogging on other sites.  I am occasionally re-posting ones that I think are interesting) I thought I'd share this story. Some folks have heard me tell it before.

Doing a Little Design

I have no delusions that I am a graphic artist. None whatsoever. But on occasion over the last couple years I've had to try a little here and there.  What I discovered was that I kind of enjoy the process. As discussed here before, it shouldn't be about whether or not you're "good" or "professional".... Continue Reading →

September 11 Remembrance

In the intervening years we've lost Lee as well. So this year it becomes a tribute to the 9/11 victims and my friend) I saw that... Continue Reading →
