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 [...]
Something that sticks.

Youth this week was very full. I don’t mean student-wise. I totally didn’t count the students. I’m really bad about that. The subject was really deep and we covered a lot. I saw some comments on MySpace that make me feel like I should share about a specific part of the service. I’ve started showing [...]
Percy Jackson and the Plot Thief
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Dad, Husband, Youth Pastor on 17. Feb, 2010 | 7 Comments
I watched Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightening Thief last night. If you are thinking about watching it, then I’ll do my best to avoid spoilers. It is a good movie but the basic plot is a rehash of The Clash of the Titans which is more or less the story of Perseus and some feats he accomplishes as told by various ancient Greek sources. Of course that is kind of the whole point so I guess it isn’t right so poke fun at the fact that this plot is totally hijacked. The obstacles that Percy must overcome, though, are not limited to those that Perseus faces. They mix in various encounters form Herculean and Odyssean myth. This makes the rehashed story feel more fresh and new.
Love v Lust Remix
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Blog Carnival, Husband, Writer on 29. Dec, 2009 | 20 Comments
This is why so many relationships fail, love gets confused with lust. When those feelings of joy and giddiness fade the energy of lust is spent while love is just getting started. Love must be given time to grow in the absence of lust or it will never reach its maturity. This is a difficult process because lust is passionate and intense driving a couple to spend time together where love is kind and gentle liberating a couple to their own interests. In this, individuals growing in love must overcome themselves and spend time with their love so they might experience a deeper understanding of love.
Growing Not Young Together

It seems unfair that I only have one post currently marked as “My Experience As a Husband” considering that this is one of the biggest parts of my life. I love my wife dearly. We have been married for 10 years now and going strong. This Monday my wife will be celebrating her 30th anniversary [...]
The Happiest place on Earth … kinda

I should be putting up one of my fiction posts but I really want to get through the vacation, talk about King’s Fest, and get back on my regular schedual. The last time I walked about my vacation I was in Northern CA and my wife was in Southern CA. Of course it wouldn’t be [...]
Vacation Defined
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Dad, Husband on 03. Jul, 2009 | 0 Comments
Yeah I had a 2 week trip but definitely not a vacation. I think the problem is a difference in how that word is defined. My MIL, who I talked about extensively yesterday, seems to think that doing things other than work is the same as a vacation. I tend to think of a vacation [...]
My very unvacation
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Dad, Husband on 02. Jul, 2009 | 0 Comments
Have a very merry un-vacation … Ok or something like that. Actually there were a lot of good things about my vacation but it was more than a little stressful. I want to share a lot of the good things including pictures, but I don’t want to really mix the good with the bad so [...]
Counseling a good marriage
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Husband on 17. Feb, 2009 | 0 Comments
As a minister I have already decided I will not perform a wedding unless I am satisfied with the premarital counseling the couple has received. This is a very important part of preparing for marriage. The simple truth is dating does not prepare a couple for marriage. Anyone that is married can validate this fact. [...]
I think my wife is mad
Posted by Nick the Geek in All, Husband on 16. Feb, 2009 | 0 Comments
I haven’t had much time to rest in the past couple of weeks. We had a pretty fun bit of puky sick going through my wife and kids last week plus our v-day event and our 24-7 prayer week next week on top of all my normal sort of stuff. I’ve been pretty blessed that [...]
