Michaela and I walked out onto the deserted dirt road beside two fields today. We walked until Michaela drifted of to sleep then I parked the stroller on a path in a harvested corn field. She slept and I stared up at the sky and soaked in the sound of the wind. It was a [...]

blessed problems
Posted in Uncategorized on October 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
This afternoon I thanked God for my weaknesses. The unsightly parts of me, the pains and the problems. The things that at times threaten to make me miserable. Pain quickly gets one’s attention.

Michaela took her first steps on the 20th, the day she turned 10 months. This past weekend she has started walking more and going a tad farther. She still has to be coaxed to do it but she will especially if you are holding your cell phone out for her to get as bait. That [...]

“There being no cause in the creature why grace should be shown, the creature must be brought off from trying to give cause to God for His care.” “He has been accepted in Christ, who is his standing!” “He [...]

A newborn child has to cry, for only in this way will his lungs expand. A doctor once told me of a child who could not breathe when it was born. In order to make it breathe the doctor gave it a slight blow. The mother must have thought the doctor cruel. [...]

I still use the tracks when I need [...]
