http://www.mikesessler.com/blog Trying to figure out what it looks like to follow Jesus Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:46:00 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It must be because I've been on vacation and recharging that my creative energy is really getting going because today I had a great idea for a new show for Fox. Seriously, this could be the next big, breakout hit. I think it could be epic. All epic shows start ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=193 Earthlink, what happened? You used to be my favorite. In fact, when I first drove up the on ramp to this thing called the internet in 1996, you were the one building the road. For a mere $19.95 a month, I had all the unlimited data my 56kbps modem could ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=189 I just put some more photos up on the photo blog. Robyn and I walked around Lake Girard tonight after dinner during Golden Hour. We didn't quite get a whole hour, but we did get some nice shots. Here are my favorites... Click for the photo page http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=184 I finally got around to editing our Christmas photos and throwing them up to the photo site.

Enjoy! http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=181 I'm sure it will be comforting to many of you that I'm back in the land of the connected. Actually, I never left, I just pulled the plug for a bit. It was an experiment of sorts to see if I could survive a week without blogs, e-mail, Facebook and ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=180 It's hard to believe that 2008 is almost over. It doesn't seem like it was a year ago that our family was celebrating our first Christmas in the Twin Cities. So much has happened, yet the time has flown by. Overall, I'd say it was a good year, though the second half ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=177 Be forewarned: This is likely to turn into a rant. I should have probably blogged about this sooner so I wouldn't be so aggravated about the constant media barrage telling us we're all one (slippery) step from living in a cardboard box down by the river. I've been thinking a ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=174   Yesterday I buried my father. It was one of the most difficult days of my life. For those who don't know, he died quite suddenly on October 31. He was in the hospital undergoing what we thought was going to be a fairly routine procedure designed to correct some of ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=172 "Cause I live in a van, down by the river!" One of my favorite Chris Farley scenes ever. Today, I went down by the river. The Minnesota River, that is. I decided to take a drive down to nearby Shakopee and wander along the wandering river. I made my way ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=170 Now that Katie's taking a photo class, we have to get out and do some regular photography. This is fine by me as I need an excuse to get out and shoot. Last week, she had some trouble getting her film developed, so we had to make an emergency trip ... http://www.mikesessler.com/blog/?p=168
