My skin is dry and if I were black, I’d be ashy. But every lotion out there smells girly–vanilla bean, ocean breeze, crushed pineapple with a hint of brown sugar. Is there any good, manly-scented hand and body lotion for my dry skin? (And not the unscented kind, that just smells like old ladies.)

Cardboard White: Swag, Feeds and Beth’s Faux Paus
Ok, so Cardboard White obviously isn’t perfect. But I’m really working at making it something that’s useful (if for no one else but me), so I’ve added a few more things that may help make it easier to stay current with our profuse groups’ posts. 1. First, I added an Atom and RSS feed so... Read More

My wife and I are having an argument. I’m wearing jeans and a gray turtleneck that untucked comes down about 6 inches below my belt. I say it should be tucked in, she says it should be out. Who is right?

Please pray for my brother and his family. It’s been a rough few months. My brother, currently in Bible college, just recently got a part time job after being out of work since September, but it doesn’t provide insurance. Which becomes a big problem since he and his wife just had a new baby in... Read More

I started my new job as an associate pastor last Wednesday, and ever since I’ve been very much in a pick-a-fight funk. My poor wife has been undeservingly gracious, even though I’ve been continuosly snippy without cause. Part of me wonders if this is the satanic opression that comes when you try to stand up...

The Bible is rife with God’s supernatural intervention in our world, but lately the miracles seem few and far between. True, there were periods in Scripture when there were no miracles; but when God was on the move, He verified his work through miracles. Moses, go tell Pharoah to let my people go, and here’s...

Today was the first Valentine’s Day that I woke up with a woman in my bed. And that’s not even the best part. We had an aluminum-foil-ball fight today! She led me on a treasure hunt that ended with steak and we’ve got a secret getaway planned for this weekend. Last year, we spent the... Read More

Church was cancelled today because of a whopping 14 inch snowfall here in Croydon, PA (largest snowstorm ever to hit NYC I’m told). Jess and I are used to storms like this, but it proved too much for these city slickers. We got up late, ate a hearty breakfast and watched a disappointing televangelist. After... Read More

Well, this is one of those things that has more to do with my business than my personal life. But then a.) since I own my own business, they are one and the same and b.) I’m not getting paid for this. Essentially, several friends of mine from the Movable Type community approached me and... Read More

Well, this stew has been simmering for several months now, and it’s exciting to see things taking shape as this Style Contest becomes a reality. What’s this? *designers poke heads from cubbies like prarie dogs* A Style Contest? Oh yes, I should have said. Many months ago, Arvind and Elise approached me with the brilliant-yet-obvious...

Well, I decided to break from the chocolate and flower liturgy of Valentine’s Day and turn it into to the 12 days of Valentine. For twelve days leading up to Valentine’s Day, I’m either giving something to my wife or doing something for my wife. Yesterday it was a batch of chocolate covered fortune cookies... Read More

The church voted me in as an associate pastor today. I was a bit overwhelmed as I’ve been out of the ministry for a while. All the excitement and responsibility came rushing back at once as the congregation welcomed Jessica and I with applause. Miguel’s son woke up from his coma this morning. He just... Read More

I know I’ve already asked once for everyone’s prayers, but if I could impose just a bit longer, may I ask again? Today during our annual business meeting, Oxford Valley Chapel will be voting on whether or not to bring me on as a part-time associate pastor. I’m not asking that you pray that I... Read More

Miguel, a friend of mine from back home, just got tragic news yesterday morning about his 17-year-old son. Thursday he had knee surgery, and is seems as though the medicine they gave him was too strong, causing him to vomit in his sleep and not have enough strength to clear his throat or turn over....

Ok, so what’s the deal with Gary Busey? If anyone watched the under-funded apocalyptic thriller Tribulation, you saw him as the main character, fighting against his past and the forces of evil. Reading his biography is like riding a roller coaster, but the man claims to be a Christian. I even came across some pictures... Read More
Hello, I’m Jesse.
