Alright. Among the many thoughts which have been speeding through my small brain the last couple of days is this: In our culture where authenticity is becoming a more and more valuable characteristic, is authenticity more important than obedience? I think this just might be at the core of where our generation [...]


I had this thought as I was walking back to my dorm last night after my back-to-back posts. It’s ridiculous that my brain was thinking about all of this only an hour after a nice nap, but here it is folks. More gibberish/jibberish from the mind of The Miz. Have you ever [...]


After finishing my last blog and getting off of this computer I checked out Facebook one last time to make sure Jayson would be poked before I left…we are in a massive poking war that will never end. I noticed something about printing photos and remembered wanting to check that out earlier. So [...]


There once was a conference set in Minneapolis.
8 youngs lads from Illinois wanted to attend.
They had the money.
They had the desire.
And by gum they were headed to the Desiring God conference.

Some of you may have heard me rant and rave about the faux-hawk before. If you haven’t let me just say I don’t really care for the faux-hawk. I think it looks nice on a lot of people, but if you aren’t going to just go ahead and do the full on mohawk [...]


Mondays are constant reminders of how much we did or did not accomplish over the weekend and as such serve as markers for how much still needs to be done or is finished. Basically the same thing. I think I may be too tired to come up with anything completely intelligent or coherent [...]


Hey folks. What happens to days during college when you sit there and really don’t manage to do a whole lot of anything. I had planned to drive back to Lincoln last night after playing some mat ball. However that did not happen. Instead I decided to play 2 games of [...]
