Hosea mourning the abandonment of Gomer


‘Therefore the land mourns,
and all who dwell in it languish’ – Hosea 4:3

Hosea’s lot is not enviable and contains a deep mourning over the broken relationships that are a result of our broken fallen hearts.  We will inherit the sins of our fathers and we will selfishly crucify our loved ones even as they are trying to save us.  Despite this we have hope and are reminded of God’s promise of restoration in chapter 6.

‘Come, let us return to the Lord;
for he has torn us, that he may heal us;
he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.
After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will raise us up,
that we may live before him.
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord;
his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth.’  - Hosea 6:1-3

East Dallas Hail Storm

We had an awful hailstorm yesterday evening in our east Dallas neighborhood.  Broke out five windows in our house.  I saw countless broken windshields driving around (luckily I was out buying comics when it hit so our car was alright).  Our neighborhood looked like a war zone.  Click here for a news story with video.

A warning to those with Arthrophobia – the following post contains a drawing of a large scorpion like gentleman.



His Lord Pandinus Spinifer just got a shiny new coat for nights out drinking brandy at the club.

Colorado 2012 - Part 2

In which we visit the San Juan mountains, have a great time with good friends, explore haunted mining camps, and drive precariously close to many a drop off.

Colorado 2012 Part 1

Laura and I took the last week in May to visit the great state of Colorado.  We flew in and out of Denver, spent some time in Denver visiting Laura's great aunt, and drove a rental car to Ouray to visit Brooke's family.
Our route.  Note that this is my idea of a non-roadtrip vacation.

The Denver Art Museum.  This turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.  It was an excellent museum with a great collection.
