Danny Santiago on Showtime

Almost two months ago I blogged about being in The Miami Herald with Danny Santiago, one of the trainers at South Florida Boxing.
A couple weeks ago Danny told me some big news. He is fighting Antonio Tarver at Foxwood Casino near Boston this Saturday, Dec. 1. The fight is going to [...]

Congrats to Josh!

When I worked as Minister of Students at Traders Point Christian Church, many of our students came from Pike High School in Indianapolis. Pike’s basketball team was always a force unlike their football team. Despite being a very large school, Pike couldn’t put together a winning football team.
My, my how things have changed! [...]

The Disabled Gospel

I am sure many great ideas occur when time is spent in the bathroom. I wonder how many take place when walking into the bathroom?
The church that I used to work at rented office space in an industrial park during it’s relocation process. The church offices were on the second floor.
While I had [...]

Leadership & The Office

I love The Office. Thursday nights cannot come soon enough. There are so many reasons my TiVo has this show rated with “three thumbs-up.”
1. Watching the melting pot of personalities that are brought together by a job that no one cares about is like driving by the accident on the interstate.

The Bible & the Slam Book

This is an interactive post and your nominations are encouraged.
I imagine we have all had an experience in Junior High or High School with a Slam Book or Burn Book (as made popular by The Plastics in the teen movie Mean Girls). I still remember sitting in the choir room and seeing the dreaded notebook [...]

He passed away on Saturday.
In the summer of 1997, I attended the North American Christian Convention in Dallas, TX. [...]

Beach Discovery

On my recent archaeological dig in the Sahara, I was fortunate to unearth the ruins of … OK, I’ll come clean, actually I discovered two side-by-side sand castles on the beaches of Captiva this past Saturday. Here are my assumptions regarding the creator/artist who was not present:
1. This person is very creative.
2. [...]

My 2008 Calendar just Opened Up

A group of writers have done what a variety of terrorists, the U.S. government and CTU could not … Jack Bauer has been stopped. Well, at least until the end of the strike. Probably for the best, it’s not like I’ve got anything going on in January 2008.

Two Day Break

Friday, Janie and I, took off for Ft. Myers (Ft. Myers is to Miami as Indiana is to a foreign country) because our good friends Paul and Ali offered up their condo to us for the weekend. Yes, please! When we arrived we pretty much dropped our bags in the room and went [...]
