Dominican Republic: Monday

When we were going to bed, Kim said something about setting his alarm for 4AM or some crazy number like that. Apparently, he gets up pretty early at home, and takes the opportunity to get up even earlier in the Dominican. But, since I work for myself, I tend to get up pretty late... (More)

Jonathan Notes

Total Church: Evangelism

"Francis of Assisi is alleged to have said, 'Preach the gospel always; if necessary use words.' That may be a great medieval sound bite, but it falls short of what the Bible teaches about evangelism." I used to like that quote, and the evangelism models it leads... (More)

Spring!

It got up to 67 F outside this afternoon. We had a picnic lunch and then spent a long time outside enjoying the sunshine (kids absorbing lots of vitamin D) and playing with rocks. Jonathan cleaned and filled the hummingbird feeder. I filled the regular bird feeder. I... (More)

AT&T HTC Tilt2 Tethering via USB

I Love Word Problems

I was searching for Noah's first word on our blog (I found his first signed word: please, but I couldn't find his first spoken word) because Faith has started talking a little, and I don't know exactly what her first word is, probably "hi". But, today, she has repeatedly said,... (More)
