One with the Puppet
I mentioned a few posts down about having a vasectomy. After the surgery, Laureen pretty much ran the household while I stayed in bed with ice packs (actually bags of frozen peas) to decrease swelling and soreness. Dr. Hassell recommended using ice only about 15 minutes per hour. I think I averaged closer to 45 …

Charles and Scott, After having prayed, thought, kicked and screamed about this, here’s my concerns and response to this: I’ve spent the last six years doing Multisensory worship services in a variety of roles, including: – playing in the band (bass, drum, latin percussion) – giving the message – creating presentations – running presentations – …
And the saga continues: From Charles Duncan, the director of the tech side: Kevin, Thanks for your work this weekend. It was the first weekend of Scott “cracking down on us,” as you phrased it. I think his email has been well taken and is a positive step toward providing better service to the church and …
So I’m here early at church, around 3 o’ clock. And we’ve been given specific instructions to “not make any additions, deletions, or changes” to any slides. Apparently, this week’s message is diverging from our normal path, but the overall feeling is… stifling. And I don’t know if I can do it this way. For …
Well, the vasectomy happened Friday. I have been in a bit of pain for the past day or so, but it’s not extremely painful by any stretch. Except for the fact that I’m awake and typing on my computer instead of sleeping. That’s one small issue… One of the more frustrating things these days is …
It’s somewhat sobering to try to rectify 14 years of bad habits. We’ve overextended ourselves big time on credit, and as a result, we’re trying to pay with cash (or check) for everything. Of course, this has its limitations, namely, when you realize you probably have enough money to cover the checks you just wrote, …
Jacob’s entering a new phase of life today: school five days a week. His teacher MWF happens to be the same teacher he had when he was in the infant room (Miss Jessica). When this was mentioned to him, he replied, “I was so tiny then, I couldn’t even spell a word.” In a discussion …
Jessie was in a fine mood today when I left for work. I said, “give Dada kiss?” The typical response to this is to lean her head down toward me and get kissed on the forehead, but not today. She stared at me, turned her head, and extended the back of her hand toward me…
I don’t know why I don’t/can’t sleep when Laureen leaves on her Mary Kay expeditions. She’s in Houston this weekend, and I’ve got the kids. It’s not that hard, but I don’t sleep well at all. I got to bed around 1 a.m., Jessie had crying jags at 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., and Jacob …
Some of you may know that I have sleep apnea. It’s a relatively mild case, but I do snore pretty badly. I did a sleep study in 2006, and now I have a CPAP machine. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Air Pressure, and that’s what the device essentially forces on you. People have two or …
