Don’t blame Disney

by clay on February 16, 2011

Yesterday I read this article from Redbook (hey, a couple people I follow on Twitter linked it, don’t judge me) and it riled me up a little bit. Hence, I’m writing this when I haven’t written anything in a long time. Essentially, the article says that girls are being oversexualized at a young age, which [...]

Christmas reflections

by clay on December 28, 2009

Another Christmas has come and gone, my 33rd here on this mortal coil. Like most people, this holiday season always brings about memories of when I was a child. Certain things stick out in my mind, things like… … being at what was then Grandma and Grandpa Ginn’s house (now where my parents live), opening [...]

Locks of Love

by clay on December 10, 2009

(I wrote this about six months ago for a local magazine, but I’ve not seen it published yet. They had their time, so I’m posting it here. Hope you enjoy!) For a seven year old, giving anything up is difficult. Children, like all of us, are by nature selfish people. When a child decides to [...]

It’s interesting to see the direction that our lives have taken since graduation. Most of us are married, with children ranging from none to seven. Many appear to be [...]

Thoughts for the new year…

by clay on January 12, 2009

… of which I do realize is eleven days old. I got two books for Christmas from my parents. One is Red Hot Lies by Christopher Horner and the other is Peace to War by Paul Alexander. Red Hot Lies about some of the fallacies about Global Warming©/Climate Change© put out by politicians and the [...]

Training the whole person

by clay on October 1, 2008

If anyone who has read the “About Me” page on this site already knows, I’ve spent more than enough time in my life in school. I’ve received a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Information Technology and a Master’s of Science in Management Information Systems. The way I see it, I’ve done a pretty good job [...]

A boy lives a dream

by clay on February 14, 2008

  Yesterday we looked at a young princess meeting her contemporaries for the first time. Today, we watch a young boy transform from a Padawan into a Jedi. (If you don’t get the end of that sentence, I’m sorry. The rest won’t make sense either. Read about it here, catch up, and come back. ) [...]
