That is the score for the last 45 years of Cleveland’s three major sports.  I know that the Cavs didn’t start until around 1970, so that score may be off by about 8 or so, but really, what does it matter?  It was a bit surreal to see my neighbor standing over Cleveland this time,…

My neighbor put on a fireworks display last night in downtown Grand Rapids–not for the public (he’ll do that on July 4), but for the 1,000 executives who are in town for the 50th anniversary of his business and watch party for the Cavs-Magic series.  He was interviewed in the paper this week, and he declared…

I live in Ada, Michigan, the hometown of a successful business which is celebrating its golden anniversary this week.  I don’t want to say out loud what the business is, but if you are free this evening, I’d like to stop by after my softball game and tell you about a terrific opportunity for you…

Thanks to Zach for reminding me to remind you about the DSB blog tour going on today.  So forget about our half naked Christian celebrity (evangelical Esther) and read what others are saying about my favorite book of the year.  I’ve had fun visiting the sites (for a complete list see http://www.tinyurl.com/dsbblogtour).  Zach has a terrific sketch of me…

I try to avoid overtly promoting my books on this blog (he wrote beneath the banner of “Don’t Stop Believing”)–at least in my posts, but some of you may want to join a blog tour on next Tuesday, May 12.  All you need is a blog and a willingness to say something that day about…

Yes, I misspelled that on purpose.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you probably live near me. Today’s Grand Rapids Press contained an article on the difficulty of walleye to thrive in the Muskegon River.  I’m sure there is more to it than this, but the article describes how every spring the Michigan…

Tullian Tchividian is asking folks to pray this weekend for the near merger of his young church, New City, with the venerable Coral Ridge community once pastored by D. James Kennedy.  On the face of it, this seems like a difficult merger to pull off, but Tullian reports that the leaders of both churches are…

A couple of times I ran devotionals by you all on this site for Radio Bible Class’s “Our Daily Journey,” which is a longer version of “Our Daily Bread” for 30 somethings.  The website just went live today, with an interactive blog.  Check it out at http://www.ourdailyjourney.org/.  Instead of my whole face their icon of…
