My first class finished this morning, and we drove to beautiful Charleston this afternoon. We have a great room on the Cooper River with a great view.
Tonight we ate at one of my favorite places…Sticky Fingers. It was time to baptize Karsten into one of his papa’s favorites. We shared some wonderful ribs together, and he [...]

A.W. Tozer…
“We are all the sum total of our hungers. The great saints have all had thirsty hearts. Their cry has been, ‘My soul thirsteth for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?’ (Psalm 42:2). Their longing after God all but consumed them; it propelled them onward and upward to heights [...]

Tonight we fellowshipped for almost two hours with the Dr. Farmer family who just got into town. Dr. Farmer and Dr. Saldivar will be taking off on Saturday for [...]

Busyness is a plague. All of our comings and goings trying to keep up a form of godliness (because there are so many more things that must be done and can be done for the ministry's sake) are actually a hindrance to our spiritual health.
Busyness makes our lives broad. We dabble in lots and lots [...]

…the heat from inside was more than oppressive. It must have been 130 degrees inside.
I'm certainly not accustomed to the heat, but still finding SC enjoyable (not that I am able to really see the outdoors very much–save for walking the three blocks back and forth to campus).
Yesterday there was no air conditioning in the [...]

We spent 12 1/2 hours Sunday driving from home to Greenville, SC — our home for four weeks while I finish this degree. We are in a small one bedroom apartment–we happy band of 5. Lincoln is learning to crawl here. Karsten and Haddon are hard at play. Chrissy gets to rest…which she has well [...]
Remember God’s Promises

My grandma sent me this link below. View these pictures and remember our amazing God. I especially like the 5th picture.
I wasn’t planning on reading the term “lactation leave” today…

Wow this is emerging into a diversified blog, and this is part of that category we call Variety Pack. Today’s reading took me to the New York Times story on the superlative benefits of breast-feeding. Certainly the benefits have been touted for millenia, but every generation needs a reminder. Here is a good reminder with a [...]

If you have a quiet moment that you can listen to this beautiful version of Fairest Lord Jesus, it would be a sweet pleasure to your soul.

An interesting story from the New York Times about kids being kids.
Such sad news…

I had to fire my manservant this weekend.
The neighbor boy that mows my grass did a pretty awful job (instead of moving the wagon, or the lawn chair, he just mowed a big circle around them). I was composed and called him up to come over because I wanted to instruct him in proper mowing technique, but [...]
Today I turn 30

Today I turn 30, but it feels the same as it did yesterday.
I was thinking about Jim Elliot a few days ago. His journaling has made such a profound effect on my heart and thinking over the years. He lived a full life and didn't get as many days as I have been given.
30 is [...]

Nathan Wilson on the night sky…
"It is strange to look at the night sky, busy with stars, and see understatment: a black canvas decorated with tasteful restraint. With only billions here, and galaxies there, it is clear that God held back."

When I was in junior high, a visiting pastor came to our chapel and prophesied the date that Christ would return. I was confused, because I thought the Bible said that wasn’t knowable. It really ticked me off too because I think it was right before I was supposed to graduate.
Some people are expecting it [...]
Honor As A Maxim for All of Life

It has been a few weeks since I came across this and wanted to make sure that I left it here for your consumption. It is a stellar piece about the topic of biblical honor by Doug Phillips, and I commend it to your reading.
You teach what!?!?!?!?!

At our school, we teach Latin from 3-8th grades. There are many excellent reasons, and I assume that I will cover them here later, but here is a some of what Dorothy Sayers said about the advantages of knowing Latin.
"I will say at once, quite firmly, that the best grounding for education is the Latin [...]
Memorial Day observations
Posted in Variety Pack on June 6, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I wasn't able to make any comments this past week about Memorial Day, but I think it one of our grandest holidays, and one that should be promoted far more and marketed far less.
Army Private Jason Little was 20 years old when he was killled in Iraq in January. Jason lived with his parents when [...]

Thomas Jefferson to his 15 year old nephew…
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind…. Let your gun therefore, be the constant companion of your walks."
Wow! Seldom is heard [...]
Some comments on Handel’s Messiah
Posted in Pilgrimesque, Reviews on June 5, 2006 | 1 Comment »
‘Tis not the season to talk about Handel’s oratorio Messiah. Usually, we speak of the work only in the latter two months of the year…especially December. That’s when I usually have my Bible class listen to it. For the past six years, I’ve required my Junior/Senior students to come slow their speed of life and [...]
