My cat gives me a celebratory headbump. Purring loudly, he licks my ear and half sniffs, half nibbles my lobe. Somehow, he knows I’m happy, and he’s glad to be a part of my joy. I’m happy because, at long last, I have completed my book. It only took twelve years, but here’s hoping … Continue reading I Wrote a Book!
Why I Like Kim’s Convenience
Admittedly, I am late to the game on this one. I'm talking about a show that is 5 or 6 seasons old. But it's new to me. We as a family just recently learned of it and starting watching a couple of weeks ago. What's so special about Kim's Convenience that it has rocketed to … Continue reading Why I Like Kim’s Convenience

Small Foot: More than a Kids Movie
It's more than a cute story about large furry creatures that hideout in the mountains, leave large footprints behind, and occasionally scare humans half to death.

Prime serves as a great reminder to me of the ultimate story that I love and am shaping my life around. The good news of Jesus Christ is never mentioned a single … Continue reading Transformers Prime — Good T.V.
My Thoughts on the Lego Movie
The prophecy states that a “special” will come to save the day at just the right time. As it turns out the “special” is just a regular guy. Nothing special about him at all. However, with the help of LegoLand’s spiritual leader (very fittingly voiced by Morgan Freeman) Emmit comes to believe that he might … Continue reading My Thoughts on the Lego Movie
Noah (Movie Review)
“Damned if I don’t do what it takes to survive. Damned if I don’t do what I want.” All throughout this movie we see human depravity played out. It’s not pretty, it’s dark. Mankind is the master, the strong survive, to live is to accomplish whatever you want, without God … Continue reading Noah (Movie Review)
