I have recently started monitoring our home’s electrical consumption on a very granular level. When we went away for a week and came back, I realized that our house was, just by existing, using an average of 4 KWH per day. That’s actually a lot although I’ve not come up with a good analogy. So, I started thinking about whether…

The Meaning of the Name Wayne
I have been packing this cheesy little postcard thing around with me my whole life because it has always astounded me at how well it describes me. If it weren’t for this 1970’s dollar store cheap print, I would have probably legally changed my name back to “Daniel” – a name my parents were apparently about to give me before…

When I first gave my life to Jesus the first major challenge I had was the concept of the tithe because my worldly teachers had always taught me to ‘save and invest in my own empire’. Wikipedia defines the tithe as 10% contribution to a religious organization or compulsory…

I often feel that I’m a failure husband, dad, youth group teacher, son to my earthly parents on both sides and a neglectful friend. But worse than all of those is my feeling that I am a failure child of my Creator God Almighty. Yet…
The End of Geek
A friend of mine sent out an email to people he knew and respected about how he was invited to speak at a well known event with the word ‘geek’ in the title. It was apparently an honour. The reply-all response to the email by a gentleman whom I respect greatly caught me off guard and really got me thinking…
A Better Craigslist Selling System
Have you ever felt that Craigslist is a great system but a little difficult to manage in regards to keeping track of photos and content – especially when it doesn’t sell right away? It’s easy when you price something dirt cheap but sometimes you are trying to sell something that you want to get a little more money for or…
