Earlier this week we received two more pictures of Judah. They told us that he was born on December 20, 2005. That was our three-year anniversary! That also makes him a little more than five months old right now. And at five months old, he only weighs 9.5 pounds. I think my baby brother Greg […]

After dinner yesterday, Cindi and I went for a walk in a local park. It’s a good thing to be outside, especially during seasons of life that are especially busy. It’s a reminder of many things, one of them being the fact that the world is much bigger than my little life. Another is that […]

I heard about London Theological Seminary a few days ago, so I checked out their website. It's a school that specializes in training men to preach the Word of God. It seems to be a very purist school, holding to some ideals that a lot of students (and probably professors) talk about but that are hard to […]

I don't think I ever mentioned it here, but we decided to name our adopted son "Judah." We got two new pictures of him today, not from the orphanage but from a couple volunteering at the Amani Baby Cottage. Don't ask me how I feel about Judah, because I would need to employ a tool called […]

As a Resident Director at The Master's College, I'm privileged to work with some amazing people. Today at our weekly RD Meeting, I was reminded of that once again. After taking care of some administrative issues, we began discussing how we wanted to finish well over the last three weeks of the semester. As always, […]

I’ve always needed and loved Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” The implication of this exhortation is that the Corinthians (along with us) would’ve been tempted instead to be […]

There are about eight things I want to think about and write about tonight. But on the eve of Good Friday (or Horrific Friday or Gut-Wrenching Friday or Indescribable Friday or Tortuous Friday or Glorious Friday), I think it's best to let a picture speak its thousand words."Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away […]

I’ve lived in California long enough to not know how Southern California clothing fashions match up with the rest of the U.S. But since the many forms of media (especially television) are so widespread, I’d assume that fashion (especially amoung the younger generation) is fairly homogeneous. Fashion runs in time cycles and geographical patterns anyway, so […]

I don't think I ever mentioned that while I was in Uganda I found out about a great opportunity for people (usually girls) to volunteer at Amani Baby Cottage. You'd be helping take care of babies from newborns to three-year-olds.These details aren't exact, but they told me that you could volunteer for a month at the […]

A friend and I were talking a few weeks ago about our shared desire to read more unassigned books. As students, we read what we have to read. But it can be difficult while in school to read what we want to read and what we need to read. So while I do think there's […]

During the Split Chapel discussion panel this morning (which was great), Tim Cane made a very relevant point about Christians and our work ethic. Tim owns his own company, and he made the point that he's hired a few Christians before and has been very disappointed in how they work. I've heard other people say this […]
