[photo by Brandon Christopher Warren] They say that men think about sex a lot. There is some debate on about exactly how often, but  it is probably safe to say, it is often. For those of us in the sharing and opining business – speakers, bloggers, preachers, writers, etc. – the number of times in a day [...]

[photo by kkalyan] Last end of the year I promise [twitter year in review | blogging year in review] I have never really been a “New Year ‘s Resolutions” kind of guy. I figure if you want to try to accomplish something meaningful, just go out and try. Why wait?  That said, since I am a horrible predictor and [...]

[photo: jakimowicz] About six months ago, in an attempt to streamline my life and give myself permission to not accomplish everything all at once, I took a soft stop on a book project that I had been working on for the past year. But times have changed and I am once again open to the possibilities. So [...]

Like so many people, I woke up on Friday morning with a serious case of the “I cannot believe I ate a whole turkey” Day After Thanksgiving Blues.  I rolled out of bed, slipped on some clothes and went out for, what I have not done in forever . . . a run.  45 minutes [...]

You are invited!  It is hard to believe, but it was just 20 years ago, on December 1, 1990, that Bruce and Robin exchanged their wedding vows before family, friends and God.   You are invited to celebrate the occasion! – DETAILS – Friday, December 3, 20107:00-10:00pm'ish with a program/roast from 8:00-9:00Mission Bay Community Church(The [...]

UPDATE 08.17.10: Upon opening up my book doc, realized that it has been SIX months since I have worked on it. Wow. Time flies when you’re . . .  [Photo By Aeioux] This might just be the lamest post I have written in a while. Don’t try to look too deeply into my soul as my [...]

19 years ago today, this 21-year-old college student said these vows to his young bride in a funky wedding service befitting their San Francisco, churchy, hipster, hippiesque leanings.  It’s hard to believe that that chilly San Francisco morning was almost 20 years ago when folks really did wonder if we were crazy. Who can blame [...]

This year there will be no big Thanksgiving family gathering for the Reyes-Chow/Pugh family.  With my Grandfather's death last week, we are honoring the traditions that my grandmother has asked of us, among them, that the family not attend any family celebrations as we all mourn the loss of our grandfather.  While we will miss [...]

Yesterday, surrounded by his family, Chuck Chow passed away; a wonderfully peaceful end to a wonderfully full life. My cousin has posted a beautiful post about Grandpa Chow capturing images and words that gives just a glimpse of the this silent, gentle and firm man. As with most grandchildren I only saw glimpses of that [...]

balikbayan: to return home to one’s town or nation; to go home. I write this post from while sitting in my temporary “office” with the view pictured to the right.  No, I didn’t up and leave San Francisco for the islands. I am in Dumaguete, Philippines to preach at the National Church Worker’s Convocation that [...]

[image: robokow] Today is my 40th Birthday.  So far I have survived The social media enabled well wishes via twitter and facebook have been overwhelming as I experience the blessings and breadth of God’s presence in my life.  While many of you I do not know personally, the willingness for folks to take a few [...]

It is hard to believe that in just two days I turn the big 40. Yep, forty years ago on May 3rd in Stockton, CA this bundle of cuteness entered the world Generally birthdays have never been a big deal to me, but as the day gets closer I must admit that to some extent [...]

It has gone so fast to tell you the truth, but 18 years ago on a chilly Saturday morning, Robin and I were married.  My joke used to be" . . . and it has been the bet 25 years of my life" but now that we actually have 25 within range, I'll have to [...]

By now you may have heard about the tragedy that has come upon my family and the shooting death of my brother-in-law, Brian Pugh, last week.  While many try to rush to make some sense of such violence I have been buoyed by the great cloud of witness to allow ourselves to simply be held [...]
