Bristol Road Praise Team

This was mastered by one of the members of our praise team. The notes on his original posting read: “The Power Of The Cross” Sung by the Bristol Road Church Praise Team (BTW, my microphone kept cutting out, and we only did one take…) I understand disclaimers. I use them all the time. This, however,…

Jesus in my Wii

My family has always been a Nintendo family, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that we got a Nintendo Wii as soon as we could after they released. Within the Wii is a place to design your own characters that play with you throughout the game called Miis. Most people make a Mii that looks…

Happy Memorial Day!

Thank you, Veterans, for your service and sacrifice!

Dreams, Etc.

Thursday was a day of new things at the Palmore house. We got a new mini-dachshund puppy to go along with our other mini-dachshund. We didn’t realize how un-puppy-like our other dachshund was until this new little doggie out-puppied her. It’s taking them awhile, but they’re becoming good friends. When we got home from picking…

Clock Redeemed

Yesterday I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and ran two miles. It was hard and I was still tired, but I did it. This morning I was up at 6:30 a.m. cracking jokes and feeling like myself. As far as I can tell, my internal clock (not to be confused with the biological clock) is…

Reclaiming the Clock

I had considered taking Randy’s advice and just declaring “Brad Central Standard Time”, but it clearly proved too difficult to coordinate with other people who, for whatever reason, don’t want to conform to my schedule. Instead, I’ve decided to go with Tammy and Meowmix’s recommendation (without the going back to sleep part) and force myself…

Prince Caspian

Our fabulous youth minister, Craig, arranged a 12:05 a.m. viewing of Prince Caspian on opening day last Friday. I thought it was a great idea. I’m glad he did it. It’s one of those really cool times that he wisely took advantage of, and I was completely in support of the activity. Then I remembered…

When the Pendulum Swings…

A little humor for your Thursday. The article this references can be found here. Good news! The Vatican’ chief astronomer has given Christians permission to believe in alien life. For all of you out there that were conflicted between your Christian values and curiosity about what life may exist outside our solar system this will…

Welcome to the Big Time!

We had our mandatory parent’s meeting for the Fall 2008 football season last night. Christ started playing football with the high school team when he was an 8th grader in Arlington. Schedule made it difficult to participate much, though. Since he skipped a grade when we moved to Flint he missed his freshman season, so…

Morals, Ethics, and Societal Norms

I’ve started another grad school class: Ethics in Conflict Resolution. It actually started last week, but I didn’t get my books until today (Monday). Since all of my first week’s assignments are due by 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, I’ll be up for awhile. I’m supposed to get some leniency because my books didn’t arrive and…
