Blood on Broadway Extension: Did I do the right...
OK, here’s the story.
I was driving my son to school this morning, part of the Classen-Oklahoma Christian loop that we take every day. It takes us down Broadway Extension at about 7:15 a.m., a great time for white-knuckle traffic frustration, for sure.
Today was different. Slow but steady until we got to about 36th street. That’s when I saw a nice little clot of cars up ahead,...

2011 Books: Final Crisis
OK, this may be cheating, but my second book of 2011 was the trade paperback of the seminal DC Comics miniseries Final Crisis.
I’m still not sure what I think. Penned by brainbending writer Grant Morrison, this series originally ran from July 2008 to March 2009. I kept up with the basic outline of the story and knew it was the genesis of Morrison’s brilliant resurrection journey of...

2011 Books: Fall to Grace, Jay Bakker →
I’ve really been lax about reading the last few years. So last week, I went and paid my fines, got out of library jail and jumped back on the reading horse. I hope to average one book a week. I prefer non-fiction, but who knows where this path will lead.
On this site, I’ll give a short review and tag all of my entries book2011.
The first book to fall was “Fall to Grace”...

Daily prayers
Today our oldest spent time with his youth group helping some of the forgotten people of Oklahoma City.
Pray for the needy. Some of us will come in and out of their lives and do what we can. But their 24/7/365 lives need blessings, recovery and change.

Wonderful things: Shows of Joy
The assault of reality TV in the last 10 years has given us a stadiumful of vapid personalities, lame competitions and the fringes of decency.
But amidst all of that over-FlavaFlav’d nonsense, I’ve found some wonderful things.
These are The Shows of Joy. These are shows where there is no competition, where feelings are genuine and you get the feeling the creators want to give you...
