I recently came across a band that, while new to me, has been around for several years now. It is, for lack of a better term, a “church band” from Australia. While there’s some good music but questionable doctrine coming some places Down Under, I’ve been really impressed with this group. Their goal isn’t to …
At times in the past, I have been pretty dismissive of New Year’s Resolutions. Why resolve to do something you know you’re not going to do, right? With that attitude, of course, it’s no wonder they never work out. As I’ve gotten older, though, I’m finding more value — and wisdom — in making resolutions. …
Proverbs 18:22 tells us that “[h]e who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.” This is as true today as it was thousands of years ago, and as it was 20 years ago, the day Angela and I were married. It is hard to put into words what this …
It’s Father’s Day weekend, and I find myself home alone, doing some backup maintenance on our home videos. I’m loving watching some of these old videos, some almost 17 years old.

Today’s the day! Smalltown Poets is finally releasing their 8th studio album, and the first non-Christmas album since 2012’s EP, Under the New Sun. To prepare for the new release, I thought I’d list, and briefly “review”, my top 10 Smalltown Poets songs.
It’s been a really long time since my last post. I have a new site, and new momentum to get back into “regular” blogging. Here’s hoping. 😛
In a recent interview with The New Republic, President Obama decried the violence of football, saying, “I’m a big football fan, but I have to tell you if I had a son, I’d have to think long and hard before I let him play football. And I think that those of us who love the …
Today is a significant day for me for a couple of reasons. Professionally, today marks three years since we released GlassFish 3 and Java EE 6. Most of you probably don’t care much about that. Today also marks another three year anniversary of a more personal nature. It was today in 2009 that my dad …
