A saying I like these days…in other news. Because it’s (almost) un-novel-related.

We’ve always been unimpressed with the people who trumpet their participation in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which as far as we can tell involves telling everyone you know (usually via your blog) that you’re writing a novel in a month, woohoo, way to go you. Seriously, […]
We don’t really drink around the house, so every time we have people over Amy insists that we need enough alcohol for … I don’t know, an Irish wedding? Mel Gibson? Tara Reid? I’m too tired to pick one. Point being, we then end up with a fridge full of beer for […]

Believe me I know that I am perpetually inarticulate and surface in […]
So we headed out to church this morning. Now, for the most part i do not like going to church. Why, you ask? Well for me I hate being bored and church can be the mother of boredom at times.
Of course, some churches tend to over-compensate. They try to “entertain” the whole service, which is […]

Closed Published by chrismarlow November 12th, 2006 on Musings By MarlowWe all have people that we connect with…For whatever reason there is a kindred-spirit. Mark Batterson is one of those guys for me. I do not know Mark, but he just seems to strike a nerve when he writes.
And this morning he did it again. He just posted on his blog 7 Leadership Reminders. Very […]
Welcome to the new digs. Feel free to take a look around. It’s still a work in progress. But, I really enjoy Wordpress. Since my coding skills are VERY limited, and Blogger Beta was disappointing. I decided I needed a change.
