Jonah Said the Sweetest Thing
Last night as we came home from LIFE group Missy and I were discussing Elijah’s (our 11 month old) birthday party. At his party we are asking people to bring gifts for the local Children’s Hospital (All Childrens) and Jonah was listening to the details. He went into his room, got out his bin of […]
Lesson on Heaven by A Two Year Old
Jonah is one of the greatest theologians I know. I am talking about my two year old, not the prophet in the Old Testament. This morning I was getting him dressed to attend Bible class and the worship assembly (my attempt to stop calling that hour on Sunday “church”) and he asked if he was […]
Elijah is Crawling
It is really great to see your child crawl for the first time. Now Elijah isn’t full out crawling. His crawling is more like dragging himself across the room with just his right arm but it is a start! Missy refers to it as the soldier in the movie who lost an arm and a […]
Jonah Teaches Me to Pray
I was praying with Jonah (our two year old) tonight and he taught me a valuable lesson on prayer. I was thanking God for everything from his mommy to his friends and then he spontaneously picked up right in the middle of it all, “Sanks you God for me-me…sanks you God for my play ground…sanks […]
Two Amazing Syllables
Elijah is really making some milestones these days. He turned seven months old a few weeks ago and it looks like he is about to start crawling. He took one bold crawl the other day of a couple of inches but that is about it so far. He has also started saying some things that […]
How Do You Follow Blogs?
I am really curious how you guys follow the blogs you read. I doubt very many people do without some kind of RSS/feed reader. When I first started blogging I remember going to the blogs I liked over and over and not seeing any new content. That got old really fast. Fortunately some really smart, […]
When Our Kids Teach Us About God
Today Jonah, our two year old, shed some light on why God doesn’t always give us the things we really want. Missy had baked some cupcakes and he really wanted one. He threw a fit trying to get one so we didn’t let him have one until he calmed down and asked nicely. Then he […]
Some Pics of the Wife and Kids
Here are a few pics we took this week of the kids. It is amazing to watch them grow and to see their personalities develop. God is so amazing and so good.
Theology Lessons from Jonah
Yesterday Jonah took his favorite DVD, Thomas the Train, put it on the floor and began to scoot it around with his feet. He then handed it to me and wanted to watch it. It reminded me of times in my life I have messed it all up, handed it back to God and said, […]
The Days of Elijah are Almost Here!
It is hard to believe we will be holding our new baby boy Elijah in less than three weeks! God has been so good to us. Missy is such a great mother and wife. I don’t know how she does all that she does. Jonah is such a great son and a joy to be […]
