This was my sermon from today. My normal disclaimer applies: If you don’t want to hear me preach a Christian sermon from Sunday morning, I won’t be offended. I’m not a professional, etc, etc, etc. Nonetheless, lots of people asked for these, so here ya go. 🙂 December 11, 2011 Title: “I’ve got this job for you…” Verses: Matthew 1:18-25 … Read more
I have been asked for audio copies of the sermons I do at church. It’s important to bear in mind that I’m not a pastor, I’m just a church leader that preaches when the need arises. I’m not a professional, but I do my best. If you aren’t interested in hearing me preach a Sunday morning message — I’m not … Read more
This is my daughter Lydia. Lydia is in 7th grade, and has a very slight frame. I’d say she’s scrawny, but since she’s 10 times tougher than I am, that seems like a silly thing to say. Since my wife Donna is a high school volleyball coach, Lydia gets to (or has to) sit through the older girl’s practice every … Read more
Every so often, I post a video of Amanda playing her guitar and singing. What can I say, my totally-parentally-biased self thinks she’s pretty good. Anyway, her uncle Chris is home from college, and joined her for this particular song. NOTE: No actual grenades were harmed in the making of this video.
Today is my dear wife’s birthday. As is accustomed here in the Powers household, we shall fan her with palm branches, feed her grapes off the vine, buy her flowers, take her on a gondola ride in Venice, and paint her toenails with the distilled tears of a thousand unicorns. Or at least the flower thing. Happy Birthday Choochie, I … Read more
You know how after a couple gets married, they go on a honeymoon? Yeah, well Donna and I are doing that this week. Granted we put significant stress on the after part, since we were married almost 16 years ago. Nonetheless, better late than never. 🙂 This is the resort we’ll be going to. It’s the Secrets Resorts Silversands. Click … Read more
Today’s silly thing was quite nice. A nap. But not just a nap, a nap with a baby! Sadly, it didn’t last. The baby woke up, and wanted cake. 🙂
I’ll let the girls speak for themselves. If you’d like to donate, the link is below the video. 🙂 For more information on the 30 Hour Famine, visit their website.
This was Phoebe when we adopted her 10 months ago: Unfortunately, after 10 months of effort, she hasn’t gotten any better at housebreaking. In fact, we’ve remodeled our kitchen to keep the dogs away from the carpet, because regardless of our efforts, Phoebe poops and pees everywhere. If you’re thinking we’re just silly, naive humans — please understand Donna and … Read more
Amanda, my oldest, records herself playing guitar and singing from time to time. She posts them on Facebook, but only her “friends” can see them. I asked her if I could put them up here every once in a while. Enjoy! 🙂
