Left Coast Sunburn: April 2007
http://leftcoastsunburn.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Monday, April 16, 2007. Since we live on a college campus, news like today’s from Virginia Tech. Hits especially close to home. During our three years at UNT, a handful of students have died. It takes a big enough toll when it happens one at a time. I can’t even begin to imagine what the people in Blacksburg must be experiencing. Include Virginia Tech in your prayers. Monday, April 9, 2007. After driving a...

Left Coast Sunburn: March 2007

California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Wednesday, March 14, 2007. Growing up, I loved the cartoon G.I. Joe. The funny thing about my mom’s objection was that I took it to heart and exercised constant vigilance in order to find non-violent elements to redeem the show. I undertook this task with solemnity because I recognized the intimate connection between my mother’s approval and my continued ability to partake. I thought that he really overpla...

Left Coast Sunburn: December 2008

California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Come, Thou Long Expected Chapel. So, here's the message. That's mentioned in the post below. It actually went quite well, once I finally found my inspiration and wrote it (Sunday morning). Monday, December 1, 2008. Can I justify spending an entire afternoon contemplating 7 verses of Scripture when some in our immediate community have much bigger things to contemplate? But chargin...

Left Coast Sunburn: September 2009

California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Monday, September 14, 2009. Pumpkin spice lattes, Jacques Cousteau and the providence of God. Today makes me think of kickball. I loved kickball in my younger days. Kickball, such a simple contest, is made even simpler by the two-word phrase every kid has on the tip of his or her tongue at all times during the game: "do over.". Takes some unbelievable underwater photos. Friday, September 4, 2009. I haven&#...

California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Friday, September 12, 2008. Recently, one of my favorite seminary professors asked for the political thoughts of a divided household (mine) on the upcoming elections, the choices for VPs, and other things political.

Left Coast Sunburn: Learning from my living room...

California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Friday, November 6, 2009. Learning from my living room. I, like so many others, rush through much of life. My calendar dictates my freedoms and often those freedoms are few. True, my work schedule is as flexible as a Romanian gymnast, yet even in the midst of such flexibility I find little freedom to let time slow down around me. My great fear, as I consider my clock-consumed life, is not that I will go th...

Left Coast Sunburn: Hello, again...
http://leftcoastsunburn.blogspot.com/2009/09/hello-again.html
California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Friday, September 4, 2009. I haven’t posted anything here in a disgustingly long time. As good excuses go (e.g. “my critical, groundbreaking cancer research kept monopolizing my time”), I’m fresh out. So, I won’t fake it. A brief update on some happenings ‘round here lately:. Got evacuated from our home during yet another Southern California fire (stunningly inconvenient, and our home was unaffected).

California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Monday, December 1, 2008. I have sat in front of my computer for a while now. Trying to write my message for chapel. I selected the passage months ago, so it shouldn't be too hard now, right? Just use that fancy education, pull out the main point and exposit. Spice it up with some stories and, voila, a chapel talk. Doin' this for years, now. No big deal. Right? Perhaps writing this chapel talk is the bolde...

Left Coast Sunburn: May 2007
http://leftcoastsunburn.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
California's been good to me, I hope it don't fall into the sea." -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Monday, May 7, 2007. Thoughts a Republican thinks when he marries a really cute Democrat. Greta and I used to participate in a small group. This group—filled with bright, young married couples—was a rather eclectic crew. We had Texans, Yankees, mid-westerners, and us, the token left-coasters. One of the members of my group said, “What do you mean? These leaders don’t represent my thinking nor my fait...
