DonsBlog: "How am I doing?"
http://fatherof8sonofthe1.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-am-i-doing.html
Thoughts from the husband of an awesome and beautiful wife and blessed father of 8 precious children. Thursday, July 3, 2008. How am I doing? Last week, Tanya took RJ, MJ, and SJ to the REBELUTION conference in Dallas and said it was awesome. RJ and MJ have been reading a couple of books sold there and have been challenged to be NOT the normal teenager. The challenge the teens to rebel against low expectations. Our society no longer expects much from our teens. The question I asked myself as a father is:.

Sola Gratia: words and happiness
http://inhisgracealone.blogspot.com/2010/06/words-and-happiness.html
Glimpses of my imperfect, ordinary life through the lens of God's perfectly extraordinary grace. Because it's only through His incredible grace that I have life. Life abundantly. I went to the library the other day and checked out three books. One of my best friends and I are driving around downtown one afternoon, and he asks if I ever go to the library. I pop out some kind of excuse like “I used to, but I've been so busy lately,” but then I feel lame and tell the truth. 8221; I ask. I know,” he sa...

DonsBlog: Oak Tree in the Storm
http://fatherof8sonofthe1.blogspot.com/2008/07/oak-tree-in-storm.html
Thoughts from the husband of an awesome and beautiful wife and blessed father of 8 precious children. Monday, July 21, 2008. Oak Tree in the Storm. Just as there are seasons in the environment, there are seasons in our lives. Just like the outside elements can be threatening or non-threatening, so also the elements in our lives. There are clear blue sky days and there are dark cloudy and stormy days. It's a generational thing I wish to pass on to my children and theirs. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sola Gratia: On Reading the Word
http://inhisgracealone.blogspot.com/2008/03/on-reading-word.html
Glimpses of my imperfect, ordinary life through the lens of God's perfectly extraordinary grace. Because it's only through His incredible grace that I have life. Life abundantly. On Reading the Word. Have you ever read through the whole entire Bible? I was so excited! She, too, had problems with actually reading through the whole Bible. I adapted her approach to fit me, and I love it! Since January 9, I have read through these:. That leaves only 22 books: I am 2/3 of the way through. I can honestly s...

Notes from a Nearsighted Soul: Cannonball off the High Dive
http://nearsightedsoul.blogspot.com/2010/08/cannonball-off-high-dive.html
Notes from a Nearsighted Soul. A close-up and imperfect look at everyday life as orchestrated by a holy, humorous, and hope-full God. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Cannonball off the High Dive. The lamp throws a warm light around the room. The air conditioning unit thrums rythmically in the corner. Emily Dickinson sits calm and green on the desk beside me in the quiet room. A book of her poems, that is. And I? I'm finally at college, in a dorm of my own. It feels like a year since I left. In a good way.

Notes from a Nearsighted Soul. A close-up and imperfect look at everyday life as orchestrated by a holy, humorous, and hope-full God. Sunday, September 19, 2010. A Post That Could Be Taken Very Wrongly by A Lot of People. Sometimes I cry because I miss God. It's true. Today I did. I've never seen Him, but I miss Him. It's not because He isn't with me, but because I can't see Him and talk to Him as flesh and blood. After a very good morning at church (I love the preaching at River of Life! After about for...

Peanut Butter and Farming.Just Random Ramblings to Distract Myself from Impending Doom. Oh, someday I will blog again. Saturday, March 13, 2010. Oops, you spilled your joy on me. Right down my formal front. And I almost started dancing. With the smell of that strawberry wine. Friends, let's raise a glass. To the Lover of Our Souls! I hope we drown.

Notes from a Nearsighted Soul. A close-up and imperfect look at everyday life as orchestrated by a holy, humorous, and hope-full God. Thursday, December 31, 2009. This past week has been one of freakish circumstances and what seems to be unreasonable pain. Circumstances that didn't happen to me directly but somehow managed to affect me deeply. And physical pain that seems to come out of nowhere(difficult to accept for those of us who want black and white answers to everything.). It all sounds pretty mise...
