The moment finally arrived. I scraped together my hard-earned pennies and headed to the Apple Store last week to buy my latest technological gadget –the iPad 2. I’ve been drooling over the little tablet for a little over a year now, and figured next to having my own little R2D2, the iPad would be my personal assistant [...]

I am not much of a morning person. I’m one of those people who doesn’t really come to life or respond to questions until I have had my morning cup of coffee and at least a couple of hours to get my head in the game. My wife laughs at me as I stumble around [...]
The Wonder Years
Posted in Beauty, Christianity, Faith, Purpose, Story on September 26, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I got an email recently that compared these posts to an episode of The Wonder Years. In this classic show with Fred Savage, the character Kevin was a teenager going through life. Typically at the end of each show, Kevin would break down the lessons he learned from the situations he lived through. Just like [...]

I recently read a blog from a friend of mine that took his son to the amusement park. His son was finally tall enough to ride on the roller coasters, and he could not wait to show his son the ‘roller coaster’ ropes. His anticipation as a father to watch his son’s reaction to the [...]
Free Falling

As I climbed on board the prop plane and slid across the hard metal bench that lined the fuselage, I began to tremble. I started to question my sanity and my judgment. I wondered how safe the airplane was that would take me up into the blue sky above. I prayed that we would make [...]

Bike racing season is finally in full swing. I am finally healthy. Not up to racing form yet, but healthy which is a start. I spent the past few weeks recovering from my second cold of the season and instead of pushing it really hard on the weekends, I just made sure to keep my [...]
Paper thin walls of laughter…

This past weekend, my wife and I went up to the mountains outside of San Diego to spend some time with friends away from the city. We pulled up to our cabin at the summit of Mount Laguna and unloaded our food, bikes, and gear into the wood-paneled living room. Our bedroom was barely big [...]
The Deep Blue Sea

I’ve never been huge on the sport of swimming. Often referred to by triathletes as the ‘necessary evil’ of triathlon, the swimming leg for many of us is the one leg that separates the elite athletes from the rest of us. I know plenty of people (including myself) that can bike and run well, but we [...]
The Debrief
Posted in Christianity, Faith, Grace, Judgemental, Patience, Truth on July 19, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Sitting across the table from a prospective client that didn’t hire you can be somewhat uncomfortable. I find myself fidgeting around with my pen, spinning my phone, and avoiding eye contact. There is a little thing in the construction and design industry called “the Debrief” where you sit down with current or potential clients to [...]
Getting Back Up

I crashed this past weekend in a triathlon. I was about half-way through the bike leg, and I misjudged a turn which laid me out in a sea of asphalt. Skidding to a stop, my layers of skin were kind enough to save my bike from injury. If only my skin was made of armor. [...]
