heart. soul. mind. strength. gospel.
Note: This post is lengthy. I also think it is worth reading. I’m the author, so take that with a grain of salt. So this blog never really got back up off the ground. After a cursory glance, you might assume that Doug has just fallen off the face of…
I went for a walk today. On my way back, I passed a home that had a small fenced in area for their dog. It had to be just for the dog, because it was too small for any other use. So it was a small dog pooping area. As…
It’s funny because it’s true! I'm fine with Obama pardoning the White House turkey this Thanksgiving, but giving it free college tuition and Direct TV seems a bit much. — NotKennyRogers (@NotKennyRogers) November 15, 2012
Let me begin by saying I am an Iowan. I like Iowa. I understand Iowa. The Iowan traditions are familiar and comforting to me. We ask kids to tell a joke before they get candy when trick or treating. We don’t allow the good fireworks, but the cops (mostly) know…
I was interviewed at church this last Sunday, and as I promised through Google+ and Facebook, here is the audio. I come in at the 32 minute mark, so don’t feel compelled to listen past about 31:45.

I got some world rocking news about two weeks ago. And just like so many other aspects of my new life, I can’t get into the news here. You’d think I was with the CIA or something. Well, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since then. I’m talking half…
This is NOT a “feel bad for me” post. I’m extremely happy! And I figure a random thought stream will do for now. Sorry I haven’t been posting like I want to. I’ve been on a bit of a roller coaster lately, dealing with the sort of stuff that I…
I just thought I’d share something I’ve been thinking about for a few weeks. “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17 ESV) Jesus came to fulfill the law because mankind…
