Jordan's $1.5 billion Star Trek theme park set to... →
I guess I’ll be going to Jordan in two years…
Possible ride names:
“First Contact, the Petting Zoo”
Miniature ponies, baby goats and the occasional baby borg.
“Q’s Philosophical Quiz Bowl for Kids (and Parents)”
Hands down the most confusing/difficult theme park feature. There will be crying and a general questioning of one’s existence.

I Resolve to Work, Read, Write, Make and Stop.
I’ve never made a list of resolutions for the New Year before, but something inspired me a couple of weeks ago. My friend Herbie told me about his commitment to start writing more music and something inside of me just clicked. So here we go.
Here’s my list of resolutions for 2012. Each complete with personal pep talk:
-

Man of No Reputation
Listen to this while reading.
Seriously. Push play on the YouTube video and play it in the background. I’ll wait.

Okay.

This is hands down one of my top 10 favorite songs. Easily. It’s incredibly simple in melody, timing and form. But the lyrics… just read them for a second:
He was a man of no reputation And by the wise, considered a fool When He spoke about...

Could the level of mental disorders and depression in America also be caused by our need for God’s presence?

Jesus' Mission Statement
“Jesus modeled fasting for us in Luke 4. He spent 40 days in the wilderness. After those 40 days, he came out with his mission statement. This is what he said:
“‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to...

NBA 2K12 →
I don’t play a lot of video games. But as an avid basketball enthusiast, this one just hit the top of my list.
The trailer for this game has got me asking the question: Who was the greatest team of all time?
(Note: You have no idea how much it breaks my heart that the trailer features a 01 Webber and a vintage Malone… but not a single 92 Barkley highlight. It’s an injustice.)

Family Photos - Part 2
It’s crazy to think that under a year ago, Joan and I were taking our first “family” portraits. It was our first anniversary, so we decided to take some pictures together. Just the two of us.
Now we’ve got our second set of family portraits. Except now there’s a baby in the mix. And he’s super, crazy, ridiculously cute.

Good, good, God-inspired music (Part 1 of 10)
I met Amber a while back. I’m pretty sure it was at an Apprenticeship to Jesus event. Either way, I’ve known for a while that she led worship. I’ve only recently discovered that she’s one of the more gifted songwriters in Arizona.

This is Amber’s MySpace. A great collection of songs.
