Steph and I recently watched an episode of a “reality” show where a “pro-choice” woman who works at an abortion clinic goes to live with a bunch of women at a shelter for new mommies for 30 days.
The idea is that she would see that there are great alternatives to abortion, and also that she [...]

Three weeks ago, Osh, Kyrgyzstan was a very large city with a very large population of Uzbeks, a people group very dear to my heart.
Today, a significant portion of the city lies in ruins. Hundreds are dead, and tens of thousands have fled the city.
Many Uzbeks have gone back to Uzbekistan, where it is much [...]

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then about 5 minutes of video at about 30 frames per second is about 9 million words.
It’s OK. Go ahead. Roll your eyes. I’m a geek and not ashamed of it.
Anyways, we don’t have a ‘true’ video camera at the Riesland house, but our little Fuji digital [...]
Earlier this week, I told you guys about a hip-hop song you might be interested in.
Well, for those of you who told me that nobody likes hip-hop, have no fear: today is rock.
Steph will tell you that probably my favorite musician is John Mayer.
Say what you want about his private life or his 20-million-dollar watch [...]
Growing up, I was really into hip-hop music, but had a really hard time finding music that I liked that wasn’t totally profane.
All the good music was fowl, and all the ‘clean’ music was super cheezy (DC Talk, anyone?)
I wish that the fellas at Reach Records had been making music back then. Lecrae, Tedashii, and [...]
If Steph and I end up in a Sienna this summer, then this will have to become our official anthem…
I love our church.
I LOVE our church.
I LOVE our church.
I freakin’ LOVE our church!

We took this a couple of weeks ago, when Josiah had only been walking for a couple of weeks and was just starting to get confident on his feet.
He had so much fun exploring the mall, and he was perfectly happy to walk away from us and go do his own thing…
He continues to live [...]

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 [...]
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!
