20 Years

Published on 2010-07-02 09:10:00

Yesterday, July 1, was a milestone for me. July 1, 1990 was my first day as campus pastor of Chi Alpha at Texas A&M. What started as something I thought I would do for a couple of years before I went into “real ministry” has been a 20 year journey. I have been honored and blessed to have worked with some pretty incredible university students and watch them become some pretty incredible men and women of faith. I haven’t been on this journey by myself. I have sha

It Should Work My Way

Who don’t some things work the way you think they should work? Take Google for instance. I have a personal Gmail account and two Gmail app accounts. I can log into one, but not two or three at the same time. If I am in my personal email and want to see my Google Reader for an app account, it signs me out of my email. Why can’t I have all three open and still get to the Google Reader I want? Yes, I know I can send my email all to one account and use labels. Yes, the

Wanting and Needing

I want one of the new iPad’s. There. I’ve said it. I want one. Now the question I have to answer is, “Do I need it?" I use a netbook for my computing because I am out and about all the time. When I am at home, it is hooked up to a 23.6 inch monitor. It meets my computing needs. But not my computing wants. I want an iPad. Just like I wanted the netbook. At the time I bought the netbook I didn’t need it. Now I do. I can’t imagine

To Start A Fire

Published on 2010-02-23 06:59:00

The temperature is in the upper 30’s this morning, which brings me to my problem: “Do I start a fire in the fireplace?” This is not an exercise in aesthetics. It is a practical question. The front part of our house is heated by a wood burning fireplace. My office is in the front of the house. The temperature in this part of the house is cool but not unpleasant right now. But the temperature is expected to drop. Will I be chilly? Will it really get cold

The Time Has Come

From: Juan Enriquez Date: Jan 29, 2010 Subject: An idea whose time has come For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens
