I love this time of year! There’s nothing like seeing the underdog upset the favorite, or the last second shot, or the wild celebration of a team and it’s fans after a big victory…. unfortunately, there hasn’t been many of these moments in the NCAA Tournament this year. Oh, there’s been a few minor upsets [...]

Righteous Lying?
Posted in theology on March 25, 2007 | 9 Comments »
Is it ever ok to lie? Really? And just what kind of lies would we be talking about? Little white lies? Bold faced whoppers?
Whenever this topic comes up in Christian circles, the answer is usually the same - although maybe not to the same degree. For instance, everyone would agree that the answer is “no,” [...]

Check out Molly and Katie’s new kitchen. Their Mimi and Grandpa (my mom and dad) made it for them recently.

Recently, the McLain clan went to the Birmingham Zoo. We used some Christmas money to buy season passes.
Molly’s favorite animal was the giraffes, Katie’s was the snakes. Personally, I think the hippos are pretty cool.

A friend and I went to a premiere of Adam Sandler’s new flick, Reign Over Me. There has recently been a lot of advertising for it, so many of you are probably familiar with it. Here’s the gist: A man (Sandler) who lost his family in the September 11 attack on New York City runs [...]
Pretty in Stink

Well, Spring time is here… the Bradford Pear trees are blooming. Many of you live in Florida, so you don’t get to experience these beautiful trees, but they’re pretty common throughout the rest of the U.S. (excluding other really hot/humid climates). What I find interesting about these trees is that they only bloom for a [...]
Lost - Best yet

Last night’s episode was excellent. Claire’s backstory was good - especially the revelation that Jack’s father was also hers - and I like that Desmond told her about the visions he was having of Charlie’s death. I especially liked, though, the other story involving the rescue party. Locke has turned into a pretty brutal dude! [...]

Well, now that ya’ll have had sufficient time to ponder my previous entries on Lent, I will continue where I left off.
As I mentioned before, Lent is the 40 days before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends the day before Easter. It is a time of deep reflection and repentance. During this season, [...]
I’m Back

I was without internet service for the last two weeks or so. I didn’t realize that one of the benefits of being a paying customer to our particular internet service provider is mediocre service that best suites their schedule. Anyways, a lot has happened in the last couple of weeks (not to mention all the stuff [...]
