For me it is my left foot. For Dana it is her right foot. I learned which one it was for her a while back but had forgotten until we went to get her some new shoes today. They’re cute. All kinda girlie and stuff. Shoe shopping made [...]

This past Sunday at Elevation Church, we had a guest speaker - Pastor Terrell Murphy of New Birth Charlotte. Wow, it has been a long time a-comin’ for me to hear a black preacher. I’m not going to waiver to the political correctness of ‘African-American’ because in the black neighborhood I grew up [...]

I have been

when it comes to my McBlog. Dana’s a planner; she typed out a week’s worth of posts before we started packing up the RV. Me? I watched 24.

The word round town is that my 6th grade picture is showing up all over blogger.com…. just kidding. There’d be a witch hunt if that was true. We did get word today that we’re the current feature for Pastor Steven Furtick’s Heroes of the Day. Once per week he chooses a hero [...]

We have a stats page where we can monitor our website activity (don’t worry, it doesn’t give me driving directions to your house). It tells us things like the number of hits each day and for the month; the bandwidth we’ve used each day and month; the most popular pages (Dana’s Avenue BY FAR!); [...]

Occasionally Teddy (our bigger(?) dog) plays with his food. I have tried and tried to catch him doing it on camera but he either gets distracted by what I’m grabbing or the camera is MIA at the time. Those days are in the past now that I caught this on Sunday. Please [...]
