A while back, while I was preparing a message for Crosspointe at Kent Covenant Church, I did an experiment where I asked for your thoughts. It was so much fun, I thought I’d do it again.

In Which I Receive A Response.
Wednesday night I sent a copy of my post below to the school board and Superintendent Vargas. Thursday morning, to my surprise, I received a response from Dr. Vargas. In the interest of the same transparency I asked them for, I’m posting his response here.

In Which I Married Someone Else Other Than My Wife.
I just found this in my Drafts section here on the ol’ blog. I thought I had posted this a long time ago, but apparently I didn’t. So I’m posting it now. I’m still totally legal to do weddings in Washington State, for life. The whole internet has ordained me. (When I did a wedding [...]

In Which I Finally Post About Rocks.
Life, illness, and just plain procrastination kept me from getting this up any sooner. I apologize to those who helped me with these thoughts, and hope you find this at least half as interesting and inspiring as I did.

In Which I Married Someone Other Than My Wife.
You may or may not know that I am totally legal to perform weddings in the State of Washington. (It really doesn’t take much. But I slaved over it. Took at least five clicks.) In the last month I’ve done two weddings and I really enjoyed the opportunity.
I don’t usually like to toot my own [...]

In Which I Share My Grade School Wisdom.
Today was Chester’s first day at a new school — first day on the bus, but we drove behind him and got him to his new classroom. It went pretty smoothly. I’m so proud of him!
Tomorrow, my nephew starts Kindergarten. We were down in Oly last night and stopped at their house to wish him [...]

In Which I Post Many Links to Material on John the Baptist.
A couple of weeks ago I preached on John the Baptist at Crosspointe. It probably should have been a series — there was a ton of stuff I had to leave out so that we could be out of the gym in time for Children’s Church on Sunday morning.
I read a lot of stuff while [...]
