I Don’t Like Daddy
Well, sooner or later, kids say things like this. They don’t mean it, but it still hurts to hear them say. These were the words that came from Thomas’ mouth on the way home last night. “What do you mean by “I don’t like daddy”?” I asked. “I don’t like daddy’s work,” he said. “So […]

It is good time to do things to reinforce that they are still special and loved.

Life-giving reproof
Proverbs 15:31-32 “He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof Will dwell among the wise. He who neglects discipline despises himself, But he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.” Just have a moment… was reading Proverbs 15 today and came across this verse. The fact that reproof can be life-giving was a great observation. Many […]

Skittles
It takes flying over to England to learn me a new game. The Cross Keys has, in addition to pool and darts, an interesting game of skill called Skittles. Monday nights is Skittles at the Cross Keys, and about a dozen of the townsfolk come out to play. The game seems to be an interesting […]

Tales From Overseas
Well, I’ve got a little break from work, so I’m writing up a quick journal entry. I arrived safely, and spent a day touring London, exhausted. I couldn’t sleep in the back of the plane amongst the common people, so I watched Lord of the Rings, and ate my TV dinner (“What? No salmon and […]

Hula skirts, thoughts on evangelism, and general whatnots
Today was a good day, despite the obvious Tom-vacuum. As I write this, I think, “how do I measure a good day?” These things certainly are factors: -Things on my to-do list get accomplished -The kids behaved and had fun -Opportunities to glorify god were not missed -Got to talk to Tom today! 😉 Today […]

Fleeting Velvet
You know, today was a good day. Tonight, though, just plain sucks. I hate not having Tom to talk to. The Judges were here today — they’re great kids! Thomas and Tabitha love having them over. Lots of fun in the pool today. Lots of splashing, screaming, tattling, and more splashing. Made Tempura for dinner. […]

Sat, May 15
Well, if you are keeping up with Tom’s journal, you know that he’s away. When he’s gone, it seems I become this superwoman — able to get things done. My life becomes more organized and driven. Tonight, within two hours, I cleaned the whole back porch and all of the toys hiding in our grassy […]

I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane
I’ll be leaving tomorrow for England on a business trip for work. The job that we’re doing there seems a lot more “open” than most of my recent work (when I say “open”, read “unstructured”). I’m not really concerned about the success of the trip, but that may be because we have no requirements that […]

Excellent Day Today
Every once in a while, a day goes really well. Children behave for the most part, “to-do’s” are crossed off and we even manage to have fun in the process. Today was one of those days. To start out, we all slept in! 9AM for me and the kids. Talk about refreshing! Then, I was […]

Perseverance of the Saints
Barry, our benevolent dictator on the RTDISC list, had written the following on the list, “The doctrine of perseverence is not to be used as some sort of shield or excuse for wrongful associations: “Bad company corrupts good morals” was written to the church… Secondly, both the means and the ends are ordained. If we […]

Retractions and Clarifications
I’ve been digging through the archives of the Reformed Theology Discussion List, and after reading a lot of my old posts, I posted the following to the list. ——————- In looking through the archives, I’m rather surprised at some of my views from a few years ago. I thought I should write up some caveats […]

Irish Stout Opened
Just opened my new bottle of Irish Stout. I’m drinking it and typing at the same time. I haven’t chilled it, but just pulled it right from the case in the basement. You can definately taste the roasted barley… it’s almost a chocolate taste… or coffee. Not a very hoppy flavor, but there is something […]

Tues – May 4
Early this morning I went out for a run. Our home is on a very steep hill. The streets going vertically are numbered, and the streets horizontally are named. We live in between 10th and 11th Street. If I remember correctly, there are 4 streets up to the top and three alleys. I jog the […]
