The hard part for me about having this blog and writing things to it is that I am honest. I want to be an honest person. And I want to write honest things. But, unfortunately, I am also a pretty subjective person. I want to write a bit about my own life- my own...
Read more →Today is Easter Sunday, which as a Christian I celebrate for the resurrection of Jesus, the foundational assertion and centerpiece of my faith- that God sent His Son into the world to die as a sacrifice for human sin, so that in His resurrection from the dead, Death would be dealt a mortal blow...
Read more →I think I’ve started six blog posts in the last month, and all of them with great seed ideas, but as I’ve tried to work through them, tapping ideas out onto the screen, the ideas have just wilted and died. I don’t know if this is writer’s block, or more broadly, just an alive-r’s...
Read more →There is definitely Midwestern blood in me. The first time I heard this song, I was pulled in by the lyrics, and I thought, yeah- I love what I’ve experienced of these places and spaces. Yawning skies and forever fields, flat far as you can see, the smell of the earth, of soil and...
Read more →It’s St. Patrick’s Day? Spring is awakening? What better time then for a Corrs tune- and a love song at that. One of my favorites ever.

This song is no different. It just rolls along, slow and...
Read more →I’m not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but after hearing the music and then listening to the lyrics of this song, I thought it was post-worthy. It’s a gift to realize you can love- and be loved- once more when you’ve loved before, and that love was ignored or taken for granted. It’s a...
Read more →Four of the best ads ever made. The video is poor, but the audio commentary makes up for it. Show dem suckers how to play DISS game… Creepin’ like a creeper.
Read more →A new discovery to me, I will be buying the first album by this group. Excellent vocal layering. A beautiful song. Tremendous worship. Fantastic confession. “All Things New” drops their first album February 12th. You can visit the band’s website here.
Read more →Coming into the New Year, it felt like I finally was moving forward in some things in my life. Now that January is closing down, I feel back to where I was before, frustrated and confused and tired and unfocused. After finally shaking a month long cold to begin this year, another one has...

Read more →The highlight of my day today was being able to pay a tribute on Facebook to my old boss at RCN in Chicago, Stephanie Ratko. Busy with a lot of responsibilities of her own and always professional, Stephanie still stood by me, made time to listen to me, and overlooked a tide of emotional...
Read more →I heard this song on the radio last week for the first time and it grabbed me. Fantastic music, great lyrics. Not a past Plumb follower, I’ll keep my ears open now for more stuff by Tiffany.
