Visual Evidence

For the first time ever, I am posting a picture of myself to this site. It’s a bit of a scary proposition, really. Not only am I terribly unphotogenic, but I’m also more than just a little bit camera shy. But I figured if I have to post a picture of myself, it may as well be one taken when I look like a million bucks – or 200 bucks anyways. After all, that’s about what this Tommy Hilfiger tux set me back for the day. I told my wife that this is it – there is no possibility that I can look better than this, because if the clothes do make the man, I’m unlikely to ever wear anything nicer than a Hilfiger tuxedo.

But first a picture of the happy couple who are currently enjoying the sights and sounds of Venice:

And now…moi. Persons in this photograph may be slightly more advanced in years than they appear. I believe in this picture I was pondering great theological matters. Either that or fretting about how I was going to pay for the tux. Regardless, this photo provides irrefutible evidence that there is actually someone behind this site and it is not merely generated by a particularly poorly programmed computer.

That is likely to be the only picture you’ll ever see of me here. Though perhaps if I ever have the chance to meet Mel Gibson or Rick Warren I’ll have a picture snapped of me just hanging out with them…

    The Quiet Time Kickstart

    We are all people of habits. To some degree, we are always battling to establish good habits while battling to supplant bad ones. This is true of us in many different areas of life and most certainly true in our spiritual lives. In fact, some have argued that when we describe the way we relate…
