Let’s play a game. It’s a game about greed, so let me just get that out of the way now. You are making a Christmas/holiday/etc wishlist. On it are six items:
- An item $100,000 or less
- An item $10,000 or less
- An item $1,000 or less
- An item $100 or less
- An item $10 or less
- And finally, an item $1 or less
What’s on your list? Keep in mind it needs to be an actual item you can buy (eBay, Amazon, whatever). And no gift cards. Mine would look something like this:
- 2009 Porsche Carrera 4S
- Samsung LN55A950 – 55″ LED-backlit LCD TV
- Canon Digital Rebel XSi – dSLR camera
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens
- A carwash
- 3 Subway chocolate chip cookies
Your turn!

My lack of enthusiasm for the Christmas music is pretty well documented. I am fan of this night though, not for the music really, but because some of the cats on stage are people I call friend, and watching them play together makes me laugh with a joy of watching someone you care for, do something they love.
Plus, watching Greiner scowl, that’s fun. (more…)

Today is the 311th day of 2007, with just 54 days remaining in the year – and only 48 shopping days until Christmas. Christmas? When did THAT start showing up on my radar?
My neighbors across the street spent last weekend stringing lights, and my mailbox is filled with holiday catalogs. There’s no denying it – the holiday season has just about arrived. (more…)

You may be wondering, “who is this Kevin” and other such thoughts, so I guess I’ll tell you even if it does ruin the sort of mystery that life tends to thrive on. I’m a resident of Wausau (which I sometimes like to call waubitysaubity for no real reason). I have lived here for just about two years and absolutely love this town. I pastor a small church as well as doing a very tiny bit of contract computer programming. My contributions will primarily focus on issues of faith and social justice, but I might also talk about fishing or the weather or really anything else that I decide I just need to talk about.
One of the things that make life good, and enriches our soul is to do good things for other people. Just think about how much your heart goes “pitter-patter” with joy each time a loved one opens a gift from you. So in the interest of making life good I wanted to bring your attention to two fabulous opportunities to actually make a difference to the lives of actual living people here in Wausau. Your heart might even pitter a little patter. (more…)
