Me and Josiah had some “man time” this past weekend while momma went out shopping for a couple of hours.
We had a blast, and I even managed to snap a couple shots.
He has so many expressions:
A couple days ago, my little sister wrote on my facebook wall, “Have you have to see the new episode of The Office. It reminds me of you and Steph.”
So last night, Stephanie and I watched the “baby” episode of The Office.
We laughed so much. I won’t go into details just in case you haven’t seen in yet and you are planning to watch. But let me tell you, we could relate to ALMOST everything. (I don’t think Steph ever accidentally breast-fed someone else’s baby, but I can totally see how that could have happened in the semi-conscious state we were both in)
I think in a way, though, it was a little euphoric. It feels like forever ago that I pulled the car around to the front of Rex hospital and checked the car seat one more time before we drove home as… parents.
This morning, I got to looking back at some of our blog posts from this time last year.
That’s where I found the photo above.
I also noticed this post from Steph, called “Musings of a new momma”
Parenting has changed so much since then! I’m so excited that we have another little “jelly bean” coming this summer.
I can’t wait to do it all over again!
Steph and Josiah went up a day early to go visit grandma and grandpa Rosado.
That means I came home to an empty house last night.
I miss my angels….
This is five minutes from John Piper’s message from this year’s Desiring God Conference For Pastors.
Piper taught for an hour on what he has learned from C.S. Lewis over the course of his life.
Almost every single sentence is quotable and I STRONGLY encourage you to go download it or watch it (for free, of course).
But if you only have five minutes, watch this clip, where Piper explains how a sense of duty in the christian faith is not only a waste of time — it’s just about the OPPOSITE of the Gospel:
A handful of the many photos we took two weeks ago when we were ’snowed in’:
Check out this video from Lecrae.
I won’t lie -- I teared up a little bit while watching it.
Just because the media quit caring about what’s going on in Haiti doesn’t mean that anything has changed there. It’s still going to take YEARS to get that country back on their feet.
You can go here and buy the video and/or the .mp3 file and all proceeds go to ChurchesHelpingChurches, which is a ministry bringing relief to churches in Haiti.
Happy anniversary honey!
You’re the best gift God ever gave me (besides Himself)!
(If the embedded video doesn’t work, you should be able to watch it here)
The lead pastor at our church released a new book this week!
Pastor J.D. lived for a couple of years in a Muslim country in the pacific rim of Asia, and also got his PHD in Islamic studies. “Breaking The Islamic Code” is his attempt at helping us ‘westernized Americans’ better understand Islam, Muslims, and the huge gaps in culture and communication that often exist.
Having lived in a ‘Muslim’ country myself, and hoping to possibly plant a church in a Muslim context some day, I look forward to seeing what he has to say!
This past weekend was the first time we’ve had a significant amount of snow since Stephanie and I were married almost three years ago…
Remember this series of posts from several months ago?
I wrote about the book “Religion Saves (and 9 other misconceptions)” by Mark Driscoll, head pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle.
The book is based on the sermon series by the same name (which you can watch, listen to, or download for free).
Well, this month, like every month, ChristianAudio.com is giving away an audio book, and this month it’s the audio version of ‘Religion Saves’! It’s completely free!
Just follow this link during the month of February, and you can download the book in mp3 form!
I especially recommend the book for those who consider themselves to be skeptics or opponents of Christianity. I think the book does a great job of clearing up several common misconceptions about the teaching of the Bible.
If you get it, please let me know what you think of it!
Seven inches of snow this weekend has pretty much everybody’s plans canceled around here.
That means I found some time to use my computer for something besides work and I’m actually posting a couple of videos for the first time in months!
Enjoy:
Josiah has been doing this for a little over a week.
He can only take about 5 steps before he gets scared and collapses, but it won’t be long now!
I learned a good lesson recently.
Well, I guess it wasn’t new. Let’s say I was reminded of a good lesson recently.
Since it involves a moment of personal vulnerability in someone else’s life, I’m going to leave out lots of details that would probably make it a better story and just cut to the chase. If we ever get the chance to sit down and chat, you can ask me for the long version :0)
