Tuesday Afternoon Check-In: April 28, 2009

The check-in had to wait until Tuesday this week, I’ve been a little ill and trying to crank out a report that ended up being 43 pages long…

weekend in review: Had a fantastic weekend. The bummer was Heather being ill, but the kids and I managed with the help of our friend the microwave. [...]

The antiChelsea

Chelsea is my friend who hates math more than anyone. So this video of Arthur Benjamin, the mathemagician, at TED is special just for her.

I chose to read this book as a part of my own personal leadership development.  I have felt things getting way out of balance and I needed to change it.  This book and my patient wife are what God is using to fix me.
Kevin Harney is a pastor with a lot of experience, which is [...]
