It’s done. I completed the Royal Victoria Half Marathon this last Sunday.
But before I get to all the race details, I want to back up to last Friday night, just a few hours after my last post.
Jason & I were in the car going to Road Runners to pick up some last minute gear. He was [...]
Today is Jason & I’s two year wedding anniversary. WE MADE IT THIS FAR.
The first six months of our marriage was sort of like going to the dentist to get a root canal WITHOUT novacaine. The second six months were a hesitant, hopeful recovery with the thought of going back to the dentist slowly losing its [...]
Why, might you ask, am I making you look at a picture of a bunch of guys on a beach exposing their pasty white thighs and their unfortunate lack of clothing sensibility?
If you look closely, you might recognize someone. Or maybe you won’t. He certainly doesn’t look like he used to (well, except for the [...]
Last weekend we flew to California, where we met Bill & Becky and Tiffany & Kate at Jason’s grandma’s house (just outside of Fresno). While there we went to the Sequoia National Park, had a small family reunion, hung out with the babies, and just enjoyed each other’s company.
My favorite part of the [...]
It has been over a week ago now, but I have wanted to share what Jason and I read at Ian’s baby dedication on June 6th.
We chose to have the dedication at home. We decided to do this instead of going up on stage at church because it was very important to us that [...]
This is Keisha’s piano.
It has many stories. Many of them I don’t know, but I will tell you of the ones I do.
I met Keisha about three years ago and our friendship grew quickly because we both love stories. One conversation over email turned into longer ones spread out across many Monday afternoons in [...]
I planted these tulip bulbs on December 1st. I was four days overdue at that point. As I crouched down underneath the deck digging around in the pots, I thought to myself “When these bloom our son will be here. I don’t know when he’ll arrive, but I am pretty much [...]
An excerpt from chapter three of John Piper’s Future Grace, entitled “Faith in Future Grace vs. Anxiety”:
“There is another possible response to the truth that our anxiety is rooted in our failure to live by faith in future grace. It goes like this “I have to deal with feelings of anxiety almost every day; [...]
“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person–though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die–but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:6-8).
It [...]
An encouragement and precaution for parents by John Piper. What he talks about in this post is something I think about often.
As I watch Ian grow and his personality comes out more and more, I wonder what raising him up in Jesus will look like. Sometimes I worry . . . and then I pray.
