I started a second blog that you can link to in the side bar, “Practical Theology.” I didn’t want to mix all of our family happenings with my thoughts and questions on theology. The purpose of the blog is two fold. I want to offer brief summaries to the lessons that I teach throughout the…
There are few times when Linda hits the brick wall. She may more often than she allows us to see, but it is for that reason we think she’s superwoman. (If only she would wear those tights more often.) Some evenings ago, when it was only 5:30, she asked if she could leave the dinner…
In one sense we are proud that our two boys are able to put shoes on themselves, but we were hoping for something a bit more manly. This really is why we don’t take them out anywhere.
I heard Linda crying this morning and I rushed in to see what the problem was, and she was crying with a great big smile on her face, “Molly is going to be gone for most of the day, three days a week!” . . . At least that is how I think she probably felt. …
Yesterday was super fun! About 2:00 Linda left to run to the grocery store and I was planning on putting the kids down for a nap. Instead, about 5 minutes later, I heard Dakota scream. This is not atypical so I didn’t get to excited right away, but did tell him to come to me. …

I’m a good father . . . At least I want to be. Part of being a good father, I have been told, is playing with your children. While it seems clear to many that a father must play, it is not quite as clear as to what that might look like. I doubt that…
Molly’s addition to the blog . . . “pray that mommy has a good time inside. We went outside and sleeped in the tent and how bout if it was a cool tent. There was windows on it. We had lights. We watched TV. Molly loves you! Grandma’s a goofer – grandma’s seriously a goofer…
Hopefully I have succeeded in posting my first slide show. I took some recent pictures of the kids and put together a show. Enjoy.
There have been only a couple times in our marriage that I have truly been terrified. The two that I recall with clarity have a similar characteristic of personal mental anguish. The first was a horrible dream that was the result of a new work environment. In that situation I found myself straddling Linda’s head…
