Go, or stay…

Just watched a really awesome video from this Church for Men Florida post that was Keith Green that focused on one little command to “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. A lot of times I find myself wanting [...]

Chesterfield homeless

I’ve been a little off in la-la land for oh over a month or so when it comes to blogging (I marked my second blog as done due to it and a total lack of interest in that topic anymore). A bit here, a bit there… and life has just been busy, leaving not a [...]

hospitality

Last weekend on a whim my wife invited our neighbors over for dinner, and had a mighty old time. Their daughter (which is a definite regular over at our house) was with the kids while we talked over dinner and afterwards. We’ve talked about having others over, and have done this a few times, but more [...]

Nothing new (freecycle and repurpose!)

This is a reply post to BeCentsAble’s Tipster Tuesday: Be Green, Save some Green… Nothing New post. Quite awhile ago, I wrote a post about ‘Money and Me’ where I wrote this: Garage sales are just super. I truly would love it if there was someplace I could go with things and just trade stuff [I have [...]

75 Dirt Cheap Ways to Enjoy Yourself around Richmond

Chris — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:39:29 +0000

OK, so this is a riff on 101 Dirt Cheap Ways to Enjoy Yourself but localized. I kept some, removed some (even thought some I agree with…), added some: Check out a book or movies from the library and read/watch the afternoon away. Picnic at Maymont. Bake and eat homemade cookies. Start a blog. Hike outdoors and explore somewhere near like [...]

great news, homeless

I just got back from volunteering from Homeward’s Point-in-Time Count (written previously about) at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at one of the end of the State Capitol grounds. I had volunteered to perform surveys to those that come for the free meals. Doesn’t make a difference if you’re homeless or not for the meals or [...]

as of late

It’s been awhile, but I sure was in a rut for a bit. Pretty down on myself about some things including my attitudes with some people including my kids. The vacation was really good though, but got a bit rough around the edges when we got back. Totally overwhelmed on almost every front, but I’m [...]

really I do still exist…

Chris — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:53:55 +0000

Just been a bit busy lately. Then there was vacation, but now we’re back. And busy again - well actually a whole lot more busy than before, but that’s what vacations do, right? Anyway, we’re famous - I’m in a local newspaper that I hadn’t even heard of! I think this was from 2/3 weeks ago [...]

ever thought of carpooling?

Chris — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:10:31 +0000

I’m out in Chesterfield and drive into downtown Richmond … it’s only 10 miles one way and I’m fairly close (I take Rt.360/Hull St Rd the way in from Rt. 150/Chippenham Pkwy), and I work at 14th and Franklin. If you’ve wondered but never looked into it, read about the benefits or calculate the financial savings. Anyone [...]
