The Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming.

On May 16th of this year, President Obama tweeted this to his (then) 30,000,000+ followers, citing a newly released study on the scientific community's views on global warming: Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous.

Complementarianism Shouldn't Be Offensive.

On November 22nd, Fox News published a piece by Suzanne Venker entitled "Why Women Still Need Husbands."  If you think it sounds controversial, you'd be right. Because shortly after its release, Venker became the target of some pretty serious social media backlash -- with many outraged that she would...

Seven Knockdown Reasons to Get a Puppy.

The minute I knew I was gonna marry Hannah, my mind was struck with amazing images of little kiddies in sundresses running through tall grass, family eggnog around Christmas time, and Hannah & I getting old together. But I'm an impatient guy. Kids cook like a Crock-Pot, Hannah hates eggnog, and we both...

Obama's Doing Business Backwards.

If you're on the Twitter, it's hard not to notice the Obama administration trying SO hard to sell its newest faulty product. President Obama has one more campaign in him, and he's asking you to be a part of it: http://t.co/3gfRGCvFc0 #Obamacare — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 12, 2013 FACT: Thanks...

Why I Voted "No" on the MPS Referendum.

To my surprise & excitement, the recent operating referendum proposed by Marshall Public Schools has been shot down, and I wanted to explain why I voted "no." Take this all with a grain of salt, because 1) I'm not a property owner and probably won't be one soon, 2) I'm relatively unfamiliar with referendum...

Why a "Create Your Own" Marriage Terrifies Me.

I'm not the biggest fan of Dan Savage. If you're unfamiliar, he's a fairly well-known author, speaker, and prophet of "tolerance," but also has quite the reputation to blatantly mock & ridicule Christians. (If he registers as an "anti-bullying" role model in your head, undo that by performing a quick YouTube...

What I've Learned Being Married to Health Nut.

I'm nervous to say this, but my pre-Hannah life (how dark & dreary it was) consisted of some pretty serious assumptions about organic/health food enthusiasts. Loopy, progressive, obsessed, hippie, a hint of crazy -- all words that pretty easily fit the bill. But being married to one, and having been awoken...

Mopeding through a Minnesota winter.

I'm sitting here with a pounding head, soar throat, and all the disgusting rest of the package. I really wish I could play the innocence card and draw pity... but I don't deserve it. Why? I've been riding around in near-freezing weather on a 50cc moped. Here's my baby.  This is the first sniffle...

Giving this another go.

I think I've tried to 'start' about 9 different blogs throughout the course of about 10 years. None have made it past like... three posts. You know that Einstein quotation? The definition of insanity one? Might be the most accurate description of the relationship between blogging and me. And for some reason,...
