I moved Super 8 to the top of our Netflix queue and it arrived in the mail this week. Date night with Linny was last night and we finally sat down to watch it.

Watching Super 8 made me feel like a kid again. Like the first time I ever watched movies like [...]

Last night, I showed my wife this piece of magic performed by illusionist Marco Tempest at a recent TED Talk. It was neat seeing her eyes light up as she watched it for the first time.

I’m always blown away at Marco’s innovations. He’s brilliant and the best at what he does. [...]

Hi Brian,

I met a girl named Linny in April 2006 shortly after I moved to Tulsa, OK. It was an immediate connection … on our second date, we [...]

Sharing the one thing you love the most is often the hardest lesson to ever learn. But my little boy Caedmon has done this so well.

Yours – Blues Traveler

Blue Traveler – Yours

You, with your hand outstretched
Finger on the key

Teaching Caedmon To Say Words

By On October 9, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Caedmon, Life, Linny

Leave it to my wife, Linny, to find a comparison between Caedmon and the TV show Friends. This morning, she told me that teaching Caedmon to say words was a lot like when Phoebe tries to teach Joey how to speak French.

When you get [...]

Linny’s Rainbow

Tuesday was a hard day. I received some news at work that I wasn’t happy about. I can’t really talk about it yet publicly. But since then, I’ve been battling bitterness. It’s so hard to choose to be joyful in the midst of a trial but I’m thankful for God’s promise that choosing joy will [...]
