Maundy Thursday: “Am I the One?”
St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Bloomington, Illinois, typically conducts a worship service on Maundy Thursday entitled “Am I the One?” It focuses upon The Last Supper and Jesus’ new commandant to his disciples. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the live performance is not an option. However, St. John’s found an innovative way to still…

Ozark: Season Three – A Few Thoughts
No spoilers, I promise. Ozark is one of those shows that is difficult to describe. The title is both perfect and horrible because it completely throws the viewer off from the actual nature of the show, which is also what makes the title so fitting. If you’ve never seen it, the first two seasons are…

A Few Positives Regarding Extra Time
While I wish that this outbreak had never happened, and with full recognition of the pain and suffering many are enduring, I must admit that there are a few personal things that I’ve experienced during the last several weeks that are frankly quite positive. Seeing my kids all day, every day: If you’re like us,…

Netflix’s Sugar Rush – A Fun Family Show
If you’re looking for a fun family show, I’d like to recommend Netflix’s Sugar Rush. My youngest daughter actually discovered this show on her children’s profile. She wanted to watch it, so we thought we’d give it a shot. Turns out that the whole family loves it! The premise is pretty simple. There is a…

Onward – A Movie Review
We love both Disney and Pixar in this family, so we intended to see Onward in the theater. Unfortunately, the outbreak had other plans for everyone. Amazingly, Disney rushed Onward to video-on-demand weeks after its theatrical release. Until this moment in time, such a thing was unprecedented. Perhaps even more surprising, Disney announced that Onward…

East Of West (Volume 9) – A Book Review
Author Jonathan Hickman continues to captivate with his East of West series from Image Comics. In this word, our idea of the United States has been divided up into many factions, and they all await the end of the world. The Four Horseman roam freely, and it’s only a matter of time. East of West…

They Got Me On This April Fool’s Day
My kids are very into April Fool’s Day. My oldest can handle things on her own, but my seven-year-old still needs an assist. Last year I helped her out with some tricks on her mom. This year her mom got some payback against me. I recently bought East of West’s latest volume from Amazon. My…

Are You a Parent Feeling Overwhelmed By Remote Learning?
In the span of twenty-four hours, I have received no less than fifteen emails from my children’s schools, several recorded phone calls, and “suggestions” that they utilize six new e-learning programs. (By the way, my kids are eleven and seven years old.) We are getting messages from principals, superintendents, food services, music teachers, art teachers,…

Mute – A Movie Review
Mute is a sequel of sorts to Moon, which you may remember I enjoyed quite a bit. Ducan Jones wrote and directed both, so it makes sense that they exist in a shared reality. I have to admit that I did not enjoy Mute nearly as much as Moon. Mute has a run-time of two…
