Punch fear in the face. Escape average. Do work that matters. Those are the collective subtitles of the book Start. I just read by Jon Acuff. You may be familiar with Acuff from a little blog called Stuff Christians Like, where he pokes fun at silly things Christians do, like side hugs and inserting “just”…

Cheeky, Cheeky
Cheeky, Cheeky Lives up to his name. Cheeky, Cheeky Enjoys Christmas games. Cheeky, Cheeky Hides in tight spaces. Cheeky, Cheeky Moves without traces! Here’s a loving look at Cheeky’s shenanigans this Christmas. Cheeky hangs around, lolligagging. Watching us from up above ( and getting dusty!) He learned about Physics… And then practiced feats…
Christmas in Dark Places
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas whether you are celebrating in winter or summer this year. The King has come.

He waves at children who stream out of their houses, shouts “Ho! Ho! Ho!” and throws candy. It’s quite the scene. Here was my experience. I texted my…
One Cheeky Elf
This is my Elf on the Shelf, Cheeky. He’s come out of his eleven month hibernation to play again. So far he’s been pretty tame. Spending time with my roommates and of course, Will Ferrell. Welcome to the Christmas season, Cheeky. Thank you for being yourself and bringing a little glee to a time that…
