So, after thinking about it for a while, we decided to go ahead and purchase a new bike. The reason it took some thinking is that it isn't a regular old bike with one seat, but has three seats, with room for three adults, or with the added child conversion kits, Noah and Jonathan can fit... (More)

Pocket Notes

Noah has discovered convertibles and really wants one. In a parking lot one day, we watched a man put up his roof and that was really cool. When I explained the reasons we wouldn't get one (too expensive, not enough seats for our family) Jonathan decided on our next car. A... (More)

Clean Your Dishwasher With Lemonade?

As we've mentioned, our water is pretty hard, and dishwashers in particular don't like hard water, and the manual with our dishwasher says specifically that it won't work with our water. But, it has worked pretty well for around ten months or so, as long as we kept the rinse aid... (More)

Biking Trip to Ohiopyle Summary

I bought a Trail-gator for attaching Jonathan's bike to mine, and we went on a couple 10 mile rides last week to test it out, and to build up our strength, but I had been pretty tired after those rides, so I wasn't very optimistic that we would make it to Ohiopyle without calling Heather to...

Biking Prelude #3

From me: Oh Great Stout Hearted One and Less Admired Comrades: At this moment, that is to say, this present instance in time, I and my accompanying attendants find the highly esteemed, large and otherwise great price of the rougher,... (More)

Ahh, Spring. The Season of Bandaids

Combine shorts/shortsleeves with pricker bushes and concrete and childhood exploration. Jonathan takes care of himself now, and Noah does sometimes, but I've been doing lots of bandaging for Faith. She's pretty good about leaving them on, but when they fall off she is insistent... (More)

Daddy Gone Notes and More Recent

Here are my notes from when Jon was in the Dominican Republic: Saturday - first dinner with Daddy gone - When Faith saw that Daddy was not in his chair at the table, she looked for him in the computer room. The next morning when I got up first, Noah commented that usually Daddy is... (More)

Total Church: Success

In conclusion, the authors talk some about definitions of success and how those definitions affect how you see yourself and your church. He is quick to point out that large churches are not always bad, but points out various downsides of being in a large church, some of which I have... (More)

Total Church: Apologetics

I'm skipping the "Theology" chapter, partly because I don't have anything to say about it (it was a short chapter), but also that I need to return the book to the library, and I'm running out of time, and trying to avoid any fines... First off, a definition of apologetics ,... (More)

Sockdolager: A Knock-Down Blow

Heather's dad sent a link to this article, which I thought was pretty good. And at least, it is a good word-of-the-day for you. Your assignment is to use it in a sentence sometime today. "NOW, SIR," concluded Davy Crockett, "you know why I made that... (More)

Total Church: Pastoral Care

I am not sure what I think about this chapter. The authors argue for Christian pastoral care within a communal setting, as opposed to the "professional" counseling. I have heard of a couple stories of people violently against that idea, though I haven't seen anything bad... (More)

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)

Total Church: World Mission and Discipleship and Training

Again, probably showing my bias, I didn't get a whole lot out of the "World Mission" chapter, so I am going to combine two chapters into one post. The gospel word is a word for the present about the future. Hope is integral to our message. Non-Christians... (More)

Dominican Republic: Meeting God in Missions

So, as most of you know, in March I went on my first ever short-term mission trip to Hato Mayor in the Dominican Republic with college students from Penn State, University of Pittsburgh and a handful from other places. It is almost a month later, and I've been meaning to write down... (More)
