Interviews

Picking up on a theme from some other blogs, I’m planning on doing a few interviews on here. I’ll be choosing people I have some interaction with in my life, so if you’re a regular reader, a relative or a friend and you want to be a candidate, let me know. Topics will be at [...]

Heart of Midlothian

Back to normal sports, the debacle at Hearts demands that I write about it. Last time I wrote, our manager (Valdas Ivanauskas) had gone off on sick leave for 3 weeks. Eduard Malofeev (a highly qualified coach) took over temporarily. Romanov then said to the players that they would be all be sold to Kilmarnock [...]

Basketball is a game for losers

Basketball right? That has to be one of the most silly sports around IMHO. We went to see the Knicks on Saturday night and we both nearly fell asleep, and no, it wasn’t Jet(s) lag. As with all things there were some good and bad points:

Are you a Jesus Follower?

Midtown mania

This will cost you everything

Colin Lamm raises the question of what a Christian looks like, in his post. Funny but Karl preached on that very sermon today. He made the point that we have to love the lost and the poor, reaching out with the gospel and with practical love. His best quote was that Salvation is free but [...]

R-Evolution?

Strange how things change. I think back to when I started blogging, around 4 years ago, on AOL. I switched over to blogger around 2 years back. At first it was very much a life story, of the trials of my work back then. On this blog I’ve communicated about my politics, my faith, my [...]
