I may do a more detailed post later, but for now this will have to suffice. I am also planning a detailed letter that outlines my decisions that lead me to leave Gaylord Community Church. That will be circulated to a few that I think need to know why, and if more want to know [...]

The first major change in a long time has finally happened, the old house sold. Mary and I signed the papers on Friday (8/6/10) declaring the house is no longer ours. We now just own one house, the one in Boyne Falls. I praise God for that. With that bit of news, there are some [...]
Mary’s first 5K
Mary and her friend Tishia did there first 5 km race today. Well they walked it. Their goal is to run it next year. They are contemplating another 5 k in the summer. Update: Here are some Videos from Mary and one I took, and Mary’s weight loss blog.
The van is going away
After describing the damages from Karlie’s accident, the insurance company thought that it would be best to send it to their field adjustment center. So a towing company from Mt. Pleasant came up today and put it on the hook. It will now make a trip to Byron Center and sit to be evaluated. More [...]
Random Theological thoughts…
With all of the things going on in my life, it is easy for me to be blinded to the things that God is trying to show me through my day to day routine. With the arrival of Remmy Rozaland McNamara, I feel the need to slow down and look at the things around me. [...]
A New Blog to Read!

He actually started a couple of new blogs recently. This one is his recollection of stories that start when he was [...]
Fair Use What Does It Entail?
Earlier tonight, my wife began posting some videos of our daughter in a school play. In fact, I wanted to create a post of the play list to show here as well. However, someone from the school saw them and asked her if she would take them down so the school doesn’t get into trouble [...]

Youth Specialties has a web site that is meant to help parents of teenagers called Real World Parents. As a step parent of a couple of teens and a couple of young adults, I try to read up on these things. I also look into this, so that I can pass along information to other [...]
Not as bad as it seemed
I called Huntington, and sure enough as the bottom of the letters said, if you are working with us, then ignore this letter. Well, that’s what they told me. So we are still working with them and trying to get the house sold.
Maybe we aren’t and maybe we are
Yesterday, Mary and I received three letters from Huntington bank saying that our house we have been trying to sell was being foreclosed on. Once we looked closely, it said that we could ignore it if we were working with the bank and on a plan. Well, we have been. However, I need to call [...]
