The Shamrock Stampede

We’re ready!

Every year we watch Darby O’Gill on St. Patrick’s Day, eat something Irish, and have a couple of drinks. We don’t pretend there’s any accuracy to the movie(it was obviously shot in California), but it is fun and whimsical and reminds us of a time when Disney wasn’t so soulless.

Anyone take a gap year before going to university? Trying to convince my daughter that it is a great idea. I didn't, but didn't even know that was an option at the time. The hard societal push to college is just disturbing and I want her to see the world a little bit before deciding what to do with her life.

@Russ and the medical team have been busy giving sight to the blind, in the name of Jesus, in Panama. They have been stuck for a while due to civil unrest.

Ugh, having kids is a challenge. An autistic one more so. At some point, I'm guessing a couple of weeks ago by the state of things, Heidi turned off a chest freezer full of meat. I've been eating mostly plant-based and had decided to throw a party and feed a bunch of people with it....shame. Yeah, I'm going to re-freeze that before trying to clean it out.

Just finished Project Hail Mary and I really enjoyed it!

This is about a farming family that I knew growing up. Good folks who excelled in everything they set their minds to. Steven's brother, Rick, has been involved in computing for a long time and is humble enough to keep a lot of his accomplishments to himself. I would bet that he has made a huge impact on the industry.

Update from Russian friends.

It's a snowy morning here in Denver, but you can join us online for worship!
