Playing hooky with my kids
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Dad on 13. Apr, 2010 | 14 Comments
This past weekend I was blessed to be able to spend time with my wife without the kids. They stayed most of the weekend with some friends and the last several hours before we got home with my parents. We had a great time with the retreat but missed our kids. Today we decided to [...]
Close Encounters of the Married Kind
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Husband on 12. Apr, 2010 | 2 Comments
Believe it or not this post is not exactly a red-warning sex post. It is actually about my last weekend and a marriage seminar I attended with my wife. We attended an Assemblies of God Marriage Encounter this past weekend. Now some people might suddenly assume that Mrs_theGeek and I have been having problems. Of [...]
Went to church and a hockey game broke out

I know it’s an old joke, but we had our first real fight at church tonight. It has come close more than once. A couple of weeks ago I had to break something up before it happened. Tonight I was brought in after the damage was done. One of my adult leaders was outside when [...]

I am not a huge fan of Gospel tracts. I don’t feel that they really work most of the time, but I don’t think that is exactly the fault of the concept. I am talking through witnessing with my Young Adult’s class. I am giving them a series of challenges each week and then we [...]

I admit I asked Jon to write a guest post for me ages ago. I’ve written a few for him but he has been too busy with writing his amazing book, which I will be reviewing soon with a very special give away. Anyways, he is finally giving me the guest post, along with like [...]
Rumors of my demise are greatly …

This time last year I disappeared from the internet for a while as a part of an elaborate prank that still gets some people angry. The prank was really simple at face value. I stole the tires off my dad’s SUV in the church parking lot. Then the pranks within pranks began. I got myself [...]
Weekend, we don’t need no stinkin’ weekend.
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Youth Pastor on 22. Mar, 2010 | 2 Comments
A lot of things happened this past weekend. So much that I’d likely have a ton of blog posts if I would remember to write them. Of course I’m likely to forget sooner rather than later so I am forced to try and decide what to share. I could write about Angel Food again. This [...]
To dunk or pass

So it is time for March madness. The thing is, I use to love basketball, but I am just not that into it anymore. I think a big part of it is that I just don’t keep up with it. This is why I’m not writing about basketball. Instead I want to deal with something [...]
My St. Patrick’s Day shirt

Tonight was the first night of a new series on the path of Christ to the cross. I focused on Mark chapter 11 and the purpose behind everything that was happening there. Next week one of my students is preaching and I’m pretty excited about that. Today was St Patrick’s Day and I wore my [...]
My ways are not your ways

I wonder how hard I make God laugh when I start planning things? I figure my plans must be worth days of entertainment. Of course that’s not really much when we are talking about eternity, but still, it sure seems like He would clue me in a bit earlier. Of course I know I can’t [...]
