On this day twenty-one years ago I was brought into the world. On this day for many of the years between then and now I would climb into bed with my mother and she would tell me my birth story. I can’t climb into bed with her anymore, but I remember my story and I [...]

This year our Chanukah falls smack dab on the regualr Chanukah. For Night 0 ( The Night of Evil) we turned off all the lights and sat in darkness while Seth talked about the darkness of the world. Jesus came as the Light of the World to heal our darkness. The big candle is to [...]

I hate changing diapers. There is something about having to, well, never mind you don’t want to know. Anyway, I don’t like changing diapers. To try and make the experience a little more pleasant for all those involved I’ve tried little gimmicks to make it more fun. Sometimes I sing while I change the diaper, [...]

It was some day last week that Crystal and I were flopped on her bed trying to encourage and convince each other to start the day. We had each gotten up and gotten dressed and eaten breakfast and now we were exhausted. I just couldn’t find the energy or desire to face the day. Crystal [...]

Hooray! Our computer is mostly up and running. It’s sort of up and jogging. Or maybe power walking. Seth and Crystal bought two new hard drives so that we can regularly back up our hard drive just in case our computer tries to do this again. I have several posts trying to come out at [...]
