The VM Family Footprints: December 2008
http://growingvmfamily.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. Since my hubbie has given me another whole year's worth the reasons to love him, I tried to fill a whole weekend with birthday favorites for him. We started on Friday with a so-good-you-can't-stop-eating-and-need-to-unzip-the-pants dinner at Famous Dave's. My Dave loves BBQ, so we indulged in a feast of ribs, chicken and shredded pork (and cole-slaw, corn bread, corn on the cob and beans). What a wonderful husband and daddy we have! Happy birthday, Babe! Christmas Odds and Ends.

Our Grace Notes: December 2010
http://gailsgracenotes.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 25, 2010. Anna really enjoyed doing some Christmas crafts this month. She's working on her gumdrop tree. She was quite proud of the final product and set it in the Christmas village. Friends from church invited us over to decorate sugar cookies. It was a lot of fun (and then I didn't have to do that at home). We decorated the tree a few days after we actually bought it. Anna was super excited to put the angel on the top of the tree. We love the weather here! We loved getting all dresse...

Time won't take the boy out of this man." -U2. Friday, March 04, 2011. Introverts In the Church 5.1. 8220;So much of me wants to be lost in my grand ideas and reflections, away from the noise and urgency of other people, but I cannot escape the fact that growth invariably involves the messiness of genuine human contact and the struggles of intimacy.” (Adam McHugh). Wednesday, March 02, 2011. If so, what will that look like? Tuesday, March 01, 2011. The Pressure Is On. I listened to a sermon yesterday giv...

Time won't take the boy out of this man." -U2. Wednesday, April 06, 2011. Depression is often a birthing process just before God makes a breakthrough.

Time won't take the boy out of this man." -U2. Friday, January 01, 2010. I was able to finish a few more books this year than last year. It helped that Star Wars was better this year. As always, here's my disclaimer: This list only represents the books that I actually finished. This would be a far greater list if I retold all the books that I started, parts of commentaries that looked through, or early church reading that I accomplished. Okay, here it goes:. 1 The Secret Blend (Stan Toler) 180 Pages.

Bright Sadness: November 2010

Time won't take the boy out of this man." -U2. Saturday, November 06, 2010. On Chicken Feed and Dancing. About a week ago, I had the opportunity to gather with a few other pastors in the district. The leader of the meeting (Steve Wright, Oak Lawn) pitched a few questions our way and I found the questions to be both challenging and powerful. I’d like to deal with one of them on here today. The chickens would dance and then chicken feed when come out as a reward. What’s your chicken feed? What he was conce...

Bright Sadness: 2011 Reading List
http://joshhoward.blogspot.com/2012/01/2011-reading-list.html
Time won't take the boy out of this man." -U2. Sunday, January 01, 2012. As has been my tradition. here's all my reading from the past year. For the record. it's my lowest page total since I've been tracking this thing. The problem is that I'm in the middle of three or four books both at home and in the office. So it's a little deceiving. Hopefully I can get up into the 10,000 page range next year. We shall see. 1 Razing Hell (Sharon Baker) 222 Pages. 2 A Resilient Life (Gordon MacDonald) 243 Pages.

Time won't take the boy out of this man." -U2. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Introverts In the Church 4.3. McHugh continues on in this chapter about the smaller rhythms in life. He gives a story about a summer in Mexico that sounds extremely close to the feeling I had on a trip to Nepal. Sensory overload and no time of solitude lead to a hazy fatigued feeling. His first assumption was that he was not cut out for missions… when all he needed was space to recharge. Saturday, January 01, 2011. 10 Fit To Be T...

Time won't take the boy out of this man." -U2. Sunday, December 19, 2010. Introverts In the Church 4.2. Recently, I was involved in a pastor’s meeting and I was asked the question: How do you know when God is talking to you? How do you know when He is asking you to do something or when He is calling you to move forward in ministry in a particular way? Or what if it’s a decision between a good thing and a better thing? How do I make my decisions? Thursday, December 02, 2010. Which was a section in which I...

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD. Happy is the man who has quiver full of them." Psalm 127:3A;5A. Saturday, January 8, 2011. Did Santa make it to our house? Sam's not so sure about all of this! Gabe stunned that Santa actually visited our house! His new thing is to mix and match his jammies! Inspecting how many cookies/eggnog/apple Santa and his reindeer enjoyed! Adriana found the pickle! She got to open the first present! Little did we know Pillow Pets were ride-on toys!
