MySpace Madness

Yes, as many of you know, I am (and have been) rather opposed to MySpace. I can waste time like a champ as it is…so why do I need another site to peruse? And plus, all of the music, hideous colors, and sketchy code make for an entirely unappetizing site. I have yet to understand [...]

Slip and Slide, A Weekend Review

I made a quick trip to DFW this weekend for a visit and birthday celebration. Overall, it was a great weekend, but a few events stood out…here are some of the best:
Why did the cactus cross the road?
Because he was stuck to the chicken
- Erin Tooley
It’s no wonder she’s good with kids!!! (Ha…I’m sure you [...]

I’m Right, You’re Wrong

This a bit ironic:
The Christian Fundamentalist movement is one that believes that we’re right, you’re wrong, no matter what. And I saw a lot of that at Fox [News Channel]…we’re right, you’re wrong, no matter what.
Joseph Cafasso, Former Fox News Military & Counterterrorism Editor
Isn’t he saying that he’s right and they’re wrong because they believe [...]

Another Day in My Life

This discussion happened tonight between a girl and myself. Enjoy…
Girl -> “We should all [the entire group] go to the 24-Hour Starbucks.”
Me -> “Yea?”
Girl -> “Yea, I can get us free drinks and I know when it closes.”
Me -> “It’s not 24-Hour if it closes.”
- PAUSE -
Girl -> “They have to close sometime. You don’t [...]

Misery Loves Company

I realized today that misery does indeed love company. It’s a cliche, I know, but it does seem like the unhappiest people want to take you along for the ride–except it’s their miserable ride that they’re offering.
So why this post? I’m not sure, but I thought I’d share this momentous revelation with you…

Learning Through Difficulty

We’ve all been in situations like this: you’re sitting through a speaker or teacher that is not coherent and is struggling to say anything. Of course, whether or not they realize their difficulty is another story. At any rate, the teacher is not making much sense and your mind is wandering around, praying for the [...]

Meaningless Beauty

If I create something that is beautiful, stunning, and unique yet has no purpose, was it worth my time? Think of some of the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen…now think of how effectual they were. It’s not universal, but some of the best designed pieces cause little impact.
If I create something that has purpose [...]

It’s Time to Vote

That’s right folks, the brand new Champion Forest Website has been listed on The ChurchBeauty Website. The website is dedicated to beautiful church websites (as the name implies), and because we made the list, I’m encouraging ( / asking) you to visit the site and give our new website 5 stars. We’re on the homepage [...]

Leadership and Foolish Choices

People make dumb decisions. We make scores of them everyday, all of which affect us to varying degrees. There are decisions with limited repercussions, such as eating one too many pieces of pizza at lunch. It’s a bad decision, but its ill effects are limited to minor post-meal discomfort.
Other decisions are more far-reaching. Choosing a [...]

X and Not-X

What happens when you’re equally afraid of two contradictory concepts, say X and Not-X. Logically, you cannot choose to have X and not have X at the same time, so they are, in theory, completely separate and non-relatable.
Both of these options present an equal amount of fear. You have to choose only one. Which one [...]
