We are blessed

by clay on February 22, 2008

As most of you know, we’re having a baby in May. It’s been almost five years since we’ve had a little one around the house. Ashlee and Alex are six and five and have long since grown out of their baby clothes. We gave most of what we had away, along with all the furniture [...]

Christ and Culture – What is Freedom?

by clay on February 11, 2008

What is freedom? One definition of freedom given by the American Heritage Dictionary is “Liberty of the person from slavery, detention, or oppression.” This provides good insight into how we typically view freedom, but are we all really free? I’m not owned by anyone, so I don’t fit the description of slave. I’m not in [...]

Does anyone else feel this way?

by clay on February 8, 2008

(Updated: I left a sentence completely out. Need to work on my proofreading skills.) (This was written a few months ago, but still relevant) Are you ever sitting somewhere and you get an overwhelming sense of your own uselessness and futility? It comes like a wave crashing on the shore, pulling you out to the [...]

The weather station is fully operational

by clay on October 15, 2007

I put together a fairly rough radiation shield over the weekend and it seems to be working pretty well. The temperatures recorded Saturday and Sunday were right online with where they should be. My rain gauge is working too, because we’ve had two inches of rain already today. My next trick will be to run [...]

When in Rocky Mountain National Park…

by clay on September 18, 2007

(Click on the pictures to see them larger.) Watch out for this park ranger. He’s a tough guy. You know the kind, don’t you? The one who wears the mirrored sunglasses with the mirror on the inside? Watch out for this little heartbreaker too. Hands down, the best pizza I’ve had in a long time [...]

My daughter the artist

by clay on September 18, 2007

She decided to create this picture of our growing family. See how Collette and I are each holding a baby? We’ve only got one on the way, at least so far as we know. Maybe Ashlee knows something we don’t?

What is Christianity?

by clay on August 7, 2007

(This is a response to a question posed here by Chuck Colson.) Seems like such a simple question, but there is no simple answer. Christianity is like a brilliantly cut diamond, having many different facets to it. First, Christianity is simply faith. It is the faith that God exists, that He loves us and takes [...]

Some updates

by clay on June 3, 2007

Been too busy with the start of school and work and kid stuff to get much writing done. What I’m really saying is that I’ve been lazy and haven’t kept up with it. I’ve written a couple pieces for Youth Ministry Exchange, one of which you’ve already seen on here (my review of Pirates 3) [...]
