So I’m watching the “Big Game,” seeing a record breaking kickoff return, and just a few moments later, blackout.
I’m not an avid football game, but I enjoy watching on occasion. And I’m a big fan of the unexpected. It will be interesting to see how this affects the game going forward.
Back to it, boys.
Gotta love a snappy title.

…much of what we do online today is sharing with others. Tips, news, recommendations, opinions… so many ways to contribute to the virtual conversation. Continue reading
Need something new to listen to this week? Casting Crowns just released their new album of acoustic music, and it is fabulous. I say this with all due deference to Mark Hall, but I feel that this is the album they couldn’t do at the beginning of their recording career. His vocals have matured over the years and are very good on this record.
Check it out. You’ll be glad you did. If you use Spotify, listen below.

I read that line in my Morning and Evening devotional on Logos the other day. What a great truth! So simple yet so profound.
We don’t really “lose” our faith, do we? We drop it. Leave it behind. Fail. Reject. Stray. But Christ never leaves us. Never forsakes us. Because He understands that we will lose faith. Lose heart. Wain. Wander. He just wants us to pick our faith back up, and, in so doing, pick ourselves back up.
And, through it all, He fervently loves us.
Since I am somewhat new to the company for which I work, I only recently received a nameplate for my desk. So, to make do until I got one, I made my own. In addition to my name, I listed my Twitter handle and this blog, along with the #NoCamo logo.
It caught the attention of one of my supervisors. I explained to this person what the logo meant… that I write about living an unashamed Christian existence.
What this person said next was interesting. They said that many Christians try too hard to be different. Continue reading
I saw a tweet by Kyle Reed that got me thinking…

As tech prone as I am, there are many things in life that I enjoy that are of another time, so to speak. Here is a list of things that are decidedly of the past that I chose to use… Continue reading
If you are a #NoCamo reader, you have probably noticed that I have slipped in and out of regularity with regards to posting (that sentence is very awkward, but I’m keeping it).
I’ve been trying to determine why. I could say that it is due to schedules, or Christmas, or, well, any number of things. But I think I’ve figured out the main reason.
I take myself WAY too seriously. Continue reading
And now… a serious Christmas message…
I am sitting on the couch at my father’s house. Wife with her head resting on my shoulder. Children nearby. Lord of the Rings on the flat screen. I’m typing a blog post with one hand on my dying iPhone, barely realizing how blessed by God I truly am.
Merry Christmas!!
Since we are now on the outskirts of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I thought I would tell the tale of the one and only time I have taken part in one of these sales as a consumer instead of an employee. Continue reading
