3rd Tooth

The first part of the upper left incisor poked through yesterday, with much fussing, drool (can you say fountain?), and even a little blood. Note to Mommy: even if you know he's teething, check the diaper anyway.

Not Forgotten

Just because we were too busy to post does not mean we did not think about Isaac this Thanksgiving. Tuesday the 21st was his 4th birthday. At women's Bible study we sang a song about the people of God, the Church, Christ's body - and one phrase reminded me of the support in grief that they were to us in those days and following. Thanksgining Day itself this year was the anniversary of Isaac's death. We got a sweet email from Grammy in which she gave thanks for all three of her grandsons. Other relatives and friends also remembered with us. I, too, am thankful for my three boys, for the growth in my spirit from the trial of Isaac's death, and for the heightened appreciation, and thus enjoyment, of the lives I am blessed to spend mine with on this earth.

"Soap" -- Just don't use it in the Shower

Mike Hall, a guy who works at Microsoft, occasionally has nifty things on his blog. This one is no exception. I will have to try it out and see how it feels.

Blogging from the Turnpike

There is a lot of traffic, probably an accident ahead, so we decided to stop for a while, so it probably won't all that much difference.

We borrowed a cell phone and bluetooth adapter from work, so I have internet here. I was hoping to find a traffic advisory to tell us how far away the accident is, but haven't found anything yet. The traffic continues to trickle by, so I guess we should get going again.

Jonathan Is Three!

Jonathan woke up late on his birthday morning and discovered a bouquet of Happy Birthday balloons tied to the foot of his bed. He had a good long drink of mommy milk and then discovered his birthday crown on the sewing table which he put on after dressing in his "wedding clothes." (More)

Who Says Spammers Write Junky Software?

I found this article at Ed Bott's blog, where it shows some screenshots from a spam control client-server piece of software. It looks pretty neat -- if you're into that sort of thing.

How Important is Doctrine Anyway?

I was at a small conference last weekend, which I suppose deserves another post entirely, but in summary, God used that conference to stir up and provoke me to love and seek him more.

50 Days of Heaven - Days 6 and 7

On these two days, Mr. Alcorn has strayed away from at least what I know as traditional views of Heaven, though granted, I am not a particularly studied scholar on the matter. I haven't ever heard of an intermediate Heaven, which is different from the future Heaven. His definition of Heaven, at least for these two chapters is, "The place where God dwells", and he speaks particularly of a "central" dwelling place, given that God is omnipresent. (More)

50 Days of Heaven - Day 4

I sort of got discouraged on days 2 and 3, where I didn't find much that was edifying. But day 4 had a couple interesting things. (More)

Rolled Over!

I put Noah down on his stomach while I swept the kitchen floor. I heard a little surprised squeak and when I looked over, there he was on his back! He even managed to hold onto his stuffed Eeyore as he went.

And Yet Another Quote

I haven't managed to get home yet tonight - started at a link from Worship Matters, Bob Kauflin's blog, and managed to meander around to a number of blogs, which after I get through the list, will probably add to the list of blogs that I read, but wanted to post a link to this one in particular. I suppose the "right way", if I were a true blogger, would be to put my favorites in a post or something, like so many else do. (More)

Independence, Construction, Playdough

Jonathan borrowed a playdough pliers from the Kuhns and discovered that it makes nice little barrels. Since his dough is now all colors mixed up, it is brown. Lisa thought they looked like Tootsie Rolls. A few days later when he was telling another friend about the things he borrowed, he said, "You know, the thing that makes sushi rolls." That's Aunt Janet's nephew to know what sushi rolls are and not Tootsie Rolls (More)

A Hunger For God

I guess I will need to read the book - I have not liked a fair amount of what John Piper has to say (which is unfortunate, since my church loves everything he says). But I happened across Slice of Laodicea and read the following quote today, which is exactly how I have been thinking recently:
