Abbie (Age 6): “When a farmer sees a weed, it just calls it trained pet turtle and the turtle comes over and eats the weed.”
Stick to the Sandals
Posted in Life on August 17, 2010 | 2 Comments »
ne sutor ultra crepidam A phrase I read today and need to apply heartily to my own life and work. Apparently the phrase means “Cobbler, no further than the sandal!” The story goes that a painter once asked a cobbler for advice on how to correctly paint the sandals of a soldier in a painting [...]
He, She or It?
Posted in Family on August 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Amie (my four-year-old) struggles with gender pronouns (he, she, him, her, etc.). I’m forever correcting her. Last night I think I discovered the reason. Me: “Amie, is John a boy or a girl?” Amie: “John boy.” Me: “Is Amie a boy or a girl?” Amie: “Amie boy.” Me: ? ”What?” Amie: “Amie boy!” Me: “No, [...]
Difficult Reading Assignment

We covered only church history up to the reformation to gain a broad understanding of the various traditions which have influenced Baptist thought and practice. I wasn’t feeling very well [...]

Disturbing Dishwasher
Posted in Life on August 3, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I am a little disturbed by the dishwasher in our new house. It’s a portable (or whatever they’re called). The kind that’s not built in, but hooks up to the kitchen sink. When it’s draining, a sudden gush of water issues forth followed by ever diminishing amounts being spewed forth. It puts me in mind [...]

Raw Notes- Christmas ShenanigansThe nine-year-old is running through the house in sleeper PJs wearing a bandana across her face in classic western bandit style throwing down duplo blocks as caltrops being chased by the seven-year-old who is wearing a tutu and carrying a NERF dart gun.
- Omnipotence“By the mere exercise of His will, God produces whatever He wills. That’s omnipotence.” (David C. Needham, “Close to His Majesty”, p. 19)
- Benchwarmers to First StringersMy current project. This is merely a title for a massive work here at FBCH. Benchwarmers to First Stringers An organized approach to transforming spectators into ministers. Keeping in mind that I am still in the brainstorm phase of this project and the title may not make the cut.
- Notes from the Daily ReadingPsalm 93:4 God is mightier than the seeming chaos of our lives. When things are falling apart, trust Him and remember that He is still in control. 2 Kings 2:23-24 The punishment here is not simply because a group of boys teased Eljisha for being bald. Rather they were mocking a prophet of God which [...]
- Church UnityI appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10 The church needs to agree both to purpose and process.
