The Delusionist: Leaving Some Room for Grace →

thedelusionist: I can sometimes be a snob. In fact, I can sometimes be a snob of snobs. And I’m a weird snob, at that. I’m not a snob in that I only listen to classical music and go to the opera. I’m not even really a snob who only listens to the latest indie bands and sees the artsiest movies. In fact those…

Hey, I'll Pray For You!

A post from ExFake.com The other day I was sitting back and watching as people posted to twitter. I was struck by how many people had prayer requests. Maybe I was noticing it more since reading this post on our blog the other day. I had prayed for each person that commented on that post and for the people that tweeted their prayer requests, but on that night it seemed like there was a lot of...

Sweet, Sweet Sound

This song has been great comfort to me today. Sweet, Sweet Sound by The Unseen Glory. You can listen to it here. Oh Lord, come whisper to me in my sleep Come pour Yourself out over me Will You draw near? Oh Lord, You’re calling me back to your heart Restoring the innocence lost Will You draw near? I pray Let it be a sweet, sweet sound Let it be a sweet, sweet sound Let it be a sweet,...

Watch

We live in a time when forgiveness is rarely given. It’s almost always said, “I forgive you.” but never makes it to the heart. We want to be mad at those that have hurt us. We deserve to hold onto that anger, don’t we? If we forgive - I mean truly forgive in our hearts - then doesn’t the offender win? If any of that is true….then the cross has no...

Sometimes....

Sometimes….. I have no clue what I’m doing. Sometimes….. I question everything. EVERYTHING. Sometimes…. I can’t seem to do anything right. Sometimes…. I forget to pray. Sometimes…. I wonder why He made me. Why He put me here. Right now. Sometimes… I get a clue. I Stop Questioning I get something right I pray. I remember He loves me,...

The Delusionist: The theology against raking →

thedelusionist: I’ve never understood raking leaves. It seems way too controlling and unpoetic to me. When you rake leaves it’s like you are fighting against autumn, against nature, against change. You’re missing out on your yard being endowed with a whole new colorful carpet. You are taking away the crunch of…

Lego's

Owen is really into Lego’s right now. Anything Lego’s - he loves it. It use to be that he’d just sit there and watch me as I put them together. He would look ahead in the instruction book and get the right pieces ready for me when I needed them. Tonight - all that changed. He asked me to make one - and then he started to make one. It took him a little bit longer than it...

Best date night.

See the full gallery on Posterous Sushi. I didn’t always like it but my wife finally got me to try it…. now, I can stop eating it! We found an “All You Can Eat” sushi bar. AMAZING!! We were so stuffed after this dinner.

Fun with the kids...

It’s been awhile since I broke out the camera an took some pictures. I was hoping I’d be able to go and take some pictures ourside, but I didn’t get the chance to do that. So, I setup the lights & backdrop and had the kids pose for some shots. It turned out to be a lot of fun. See the full gallery on posterous

Compassion Thursday!!

It’s Thursday again which means a group of bloggers will be highlighting a Compassion child that’s been waiting six months or longer for sponsorship. Here’s my ask of you: if you can’t sponsor Debora please tweet about Debora and post a link on your Facebook wall. The more exposure Debora gets, the greater chance he has of being sponsored.

Valentine's

We tried to make today our “Valentine’s Day” with the kids. So, we did some chocolate fondu - went to see Gnomio & Juliet - and then the kids needed to put their valentine’s together for school. It was a fun day. See the full gallery on posterous

#Flashback Friday

Crusin’ the ol’ Facebook I came across a “trending topic” called “Flasback Friday”. So, I figured I’d hijack that and do it here. Since it is Valentine’s Day - Todays Flashback Friday is of my wife and I back in 1995. It was her senior prom and she wanted a limo. So….I spent my hard earned money and got her a limo. Man, we look...

Snowmagedon - Snowpocolypse - whatever it is you call it…..it’s here. We got about 18.2 inches of snow. When I went open the garage door - this is what was there to say “good morning!” We are gearing up to head out with the kids to play so I’m sure there will be more pictures to come!

It's A Look

For some reason this picture just grabs me. He didn’t know I was taking pictures. He wasn’t trying to be goofy, which is unusual for him. It’s just…Owen. My “little man”. Or, as some would say, he’s my “mini me”.

Watch Him Play

Today was pretty busy. When Owen and I got home from his friends birthday party we had some time to just “chill”. While Owen played with his trains - I took the opportunity to take pull out the camera and do some playing myself. This is one of my favorites from today.

Don't Tell Anyone!!!

When I first watched this video it was like a light switch went on in my head. “That’s me!” I said to myself. “That’s what I do every time!!” And it’s true. I do. I’ve decided I was going to lose weight - I share it with people - I fail. I’ve set many goals & have failed at all of them. Could it be because of telling other people about...
