Easter 2023: Scrubbing Bubbles Revisited

Easter 2023: Scrubbing Bubbles Revisited

Life’s been a little busy this past month. As a result, it’s taking a bit longer to finalize and post my next major article. In light of that, since it’s Easter, I thought I would reprint an article I posted for this day in 2018, updating it only to make it accurate for 2023.

SCRUBBING BUBBLE SALVATION

You may be familiar with the bathroom cleaner from S.C. Johnson called Scrubbing Bubbles. When I was a kid this product went by the name Dow Bathroom Cleaner and the Scrubbing Bubbles were its mascot. In the commercial, these cartoon bubbles with brush bristles for legs would race up and down the tub and

Half Air faith article

Brian and Sean have been visiting George’s barbershop since they were in college. George’s trims are neat, reasonably priced, and accompanied by a lively chat. One Saturday in April, Brian took the chair first while Sean scanned emails and texts on his phone while waiting for his turn. Somehow, the conversation drifted to cars, a subject Brian knew little about. He did like to save money, however, which is why he still drives a 15-year-old Honda Civic and learned how to change his own oil.

“Next oil change,

What I Learned From Reading The Bible In A Year: A Review Of The Bible Recap

What I Learned From Reading The Bible In A Year: A Review Of The Bible Recap

Half Air faith article

Right off the bat, let me say yes, I know. This article is a month too late. You don’t recommend a “Bible-In-A-Year” plan that is best started on January 1st midway through the month. Hopefully, you saw my brief mention The Bible Recap and checked it out, but if not, I apologize. However, just because you missed the official start date doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. You can start anytime, but more on that later.  First, I felt it might be helpful to share how I benefitted from reading through the Bible in a year.

This wasn’t my first journey through the scriptures. In fact, I had just finished a chronological

Half Air Road Map 2023

Half Air Road Map 2023

Half Air faith article

It is commonplace in the video game industry for developers to issue a “Road Map” for the upcoming year.  This road map is a statement of what is planned over the next twelve months: what games will be released, what upgrades are being worked on, what new games are being developed, etc. Its primary purpose is to build excitement amongst customers and investors. However, it also provides these same people a means to hold the developer accountable for the promises that have been made.

In the same manner, as 2023 looms ahead, I am renewing my commitment to Half Air and I wanted to share my plans in my own

White Elephant Theology

White Elephant Theology

Half Air faith article

The “White Elephant Gift Exchange.” A favorite staple of many a holiday party everywhere. While the rules may vary from family to family, the basic premise is the same. Everyone brings a gift and draws a number. On your turn, you may steal a gift that has already been opened or you may pick a new gift from those yet to be opened.  If your gift is stolen, you are given the same options: steal a gift or pick an unopened one.  The game continues until everyone has had a turn and has received a gift. It’s fun and everyone has a good time (especially if your circle of friends has those specific gag gifts that are included
