Read MoreRenovations Part 7: Finished Bathroom
I don’t know about you but I had a productive weekend. A long one, but I completed my bathroom. Since my house only has one bathroom I really didn’t have much choice but to finish it quickly. My wife was out of town at a wedding this weekend so I really needed to finish before she got home. Before I get started I just want to say that this would not have been possible if not for my...
Read MoreRenovations Part 6: The Bathroom
That is right folks! It’s that time again. I am in for a long weekend. I will be ripping out the bathroom of our house this weekend and putting in a new toilet and bathtub as well as tiling the floors and walls of the shower. Sound like fun? I will try to document the process with pictures to post here to show the transformation. Stay tuned. Brian

We watched a movie called Valkyrie last night. If you aren’t familiar with it, it is based on a true story about a bold assassination plot by German soldiers and civilians to kill Adolf Hitler. (And it is a good movie.) I don’t know how the real events played out or if the movie portrayed them correctly but I do know one thing about the movie that is true: each man involved was...

Read MoreAnticipate Jesus
Anticipate – to expect; look forward to; to be sure of; to hope for Matthew 24:43- 44 Know this, if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. So, if we are to anticipate our Savior’s...
Read MoreAnticipation
Anticipation is a funny thing. It’s almost like stepping into a time warp. The time leading up to the event is excruciatingly slow but then the event flies by and you don’t know where it went. Like Christmas when you were a little kid. It can’t come fast enough but then is gone in the blink of an eye. It seems like my life is a cycle of finding something to anticipate,...
Read MoreSame Kind of Different as Me
Without a doubt, Same Kind of Different as Me is one of the most moving books I have ever read. And, as a result, one of the best. Most of what I read is fiction and those can be moving as well, but since this is a true story it makes it so much more real and tangible. It is also an amazing testament to God’s plans for us even through the most difficult times in our life here on...

Read MoreThe Wonderful World of Twitter
I just wanted to give a quick plug to the (not so new, but new to me) service, Twitter. I have had an account there for a while (brian_casey if you want to follow me) but I haven’t really used it much until recently. Before I was just using it to broadcast that I had a new blog post, but if you know anything about Twitter, it doesn’t really work well in that capacity unless you...
