Our summer plans:

If you haven’t read VBS Superstars: Person 1, check it out to give you a little background. Person 2 was nominated for a game on the last day of VBS. I don’t think she was given the choice of whether or not to play. It was a very messy game. The kind you had to [...]

As you may know from earlier posts, we held VBS at our church last week. And as usually happens at such events, certain people rise to the top of the crop in service and attitude enough to warrant mention. After considering this, however, I have decided not to include any names. I don’t know how [...]

This morning Sarah and I attended the early service at Grace, until recently known as the “traditional” service. And this was the morning the bells were to perform. I don’t know what your church experience has been, but if you’ve never seen the bells, you’re missing out. Actually, I’ve never been too into the bells [...]

I am in the process of gearing up for my second performance in ‘Son of God, Son of Man’, Ken Parker’s inspiring passion play (one of them!). Sarah and Kaelem are also acting.

I was taught never to air my dirty laundry. Well, don’t worry, Mom, this laundry is clean. How can I ever again say that I have nothing to wear? Actually, most of this is Kaelem’s stuff: clothes, burp rags, towels, bibs, blankets, burp rags, bibs, bibs. Guess I’m glad we went with disposable diapers after [...]

Um, I don’t know what to say for this one. This is us.

This past Sunday, Jed and I made a public declaration that we will “train up our child in the way he should go” and show him how to love the Lord. Traditionally, these baby dedications are accompanied with an infant baptism (sprinkling). However, from reading the scriptures, we believe (and so does the church we [...]
