First Christmas production

Last week Titus was in his very first Christmas production as a part of his preschool. Enjoy the video. You’ll quickly notice that Titus is a natural on the stage. Really, I’m not surprised.

Morning conversations with Titus

So Titus is doing a lot more taking now. Just a few minutes ago, he was sitting on the couch with Sara and I and this is how the conversation went. Titus: Cherrios? Sara: We don’t have any cheerios, but we do have other cereal. Titus: Bye cereal. Sara: How about an apple? Titus: Bye apple. Sara: Yogurt? Titus: Bye yogurt. Sara: What [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

I’ve been a children’s pastor for well over a decade. For years I’ve been responsible for crafty stuff like this that comes home, goes on the refrigerator and then to the trash.

Two years?

I remember exactly what I was doing this time two years ago. Every year on my birthday my phone rings usually before I wake up. It’s always my mom. Whether I try to sleep a little longer and let her leave a message or wake up to get my birthday greeting, it always starts with the [...]

My errand partner in crime

When I’ve got to go run errands, I like to take this guy with me. He’s good company and it usually means I get the excuse to do something fun along the way. Today was Memorial Day and we had lots of folks over at the house. That meant I had a lot to do to [...]
