He Never Ever Sinned?
Tonight at bedtime, both Thomas and Tabitha expressed fear about dying as I was tucking them in. Although we often talk about Jesus, this evening was different because both children said specifically that they believed in Him. My mind is not quick, nor do I boast having great theological knowledge, and I pray that God […]

Beware of Parents with Video Cameras
There are certain items which, when combined, create a noxious result. Combine a video camera and a young baby, and you get inane movies like this one. But, of course, as parents, we think it’s the cutest thing in the world. And so should you. Yes, we did film Micah blinking and put it on […]

Professional Do-gooders
Dr. Neill H. Payne posted this quote on the Reformed Theology Discussion List. It’s appropriate in many contexts. Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot […]

Servants of the Law
I love this quote from John Roberts during his Supreme Court confirmation hearing today: Judges and justices are servants of the law, not the other way around. Judges are like umpires. Umpires don’t make the rules; they apply them. The role of an umpire and a judge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by […]

Labor Day
Labor Day this year was probably one of the most relaxing we’ve had in a while. The Carlson family, who are dear friends, came over and we had a leisurely afternoon together, feasting together, spitting watermelon seeds, and thanking God for our blessings – including the perfect weather. While the men burned a tree that […]

States’ Wrongs
Get it? It’s a pun. So, apparently, a hurricane came through down south somewhere, and people are upset. Lots of finger-pointing. Lots of people playing “the blame game” (I love that game… it’s almost as fun as Mousetrap). As of yet, you, dear reader, have not known what to think about the problem because I […]

Thomas’ Movie
Thomas was watching the trailer for Corpse Bride, and I was explaining to him how stop-motion animation works. He didn’t really seem to be grasping the concept, so I whipped our new camera, set it up on a tripod, and directed him in his first feature film. Here is it’s world premier!

Overdue Incentive
Chester County Library is holding an “Operation Katrina” day on September 8, 2005. “All fines and fees collected on this day will be sent to the American Red Cross for its hurricane relief efforts.” Overdue books are considered a crime (one of my dear friends received notice to appear in court to plead in the […]

Who’s Fault Is It?
How sad is it that human natural always looks for something or someone to blame? We work so hard to prop ourselves up as gods, and when the true God comes to tear down our paper dreams, we need to rant to anyone who will listen how it’s not our fault, and therefore, it must […]

Cutie Pie Micah
Micah required a bath tonight. He was giggly afterwards and smelling like a clean, Johnson and Johnson baby. Couldn’t resist snapping a few photos with him. Check out his fat rolls on the picture where he’s beeping my nose!!MomMicah/mommicah1

A History of Intolorance
“This was a central characteristic of progressive thought in the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth. From Darwin, who provided the scientific rationale for such racism, to Margaret Sanger and her ‘human weeds,’ to George Bernard Shaw and the eugenics craze, to Hitler’s final solution, progressives have a lot to answer for.

Google Earth New Orleans Overlay
I created an overlay of the satellite imagery from New Orleans. You need Google Earth, a free download, in order to be able to see it. It’s amazing stuff. UPDATE: I should have referenced my sources. I got the image from Digital Globe, via Digg.
