Tori wrote a good short article about what is going on with the baby. So rather than me rewrite...just go to Little Sugar Mama.

We went down to Warner Robins to visit Tori's parents this weekend. Micah's Paw Paw has pretty much finished restoring his '68 Firebird. I got to take it for a spin. ....oh yeah....it was awesome. I love this first two pictures the most. Check out Micah's "bad to the bone" expression in the first one.

I'm sure some of you have already experienced this quite awhile ago, but it amazing to me looking at Micah get around and play now. He is not a baby anymore. He is a boy. He hops on big wheels and takes off, he climbs up on the couch and reads (or looks at) a book, he sleeps in a big boy bed. He not a baby, but a boy. Thats awesome. I suppose that is forced into perspective again, as we are

The marriage conference that I was supposed to be going to has been canceled. So now I am available and am going to hear Ravi speak at FBC Woodstock. If anyone out there in blog world would like to go with me or meet me there, let me know. I plan to go regardless, but I'd be nice to have some company.March 25th (Sunday) in the evening.

I drove the youth to a conference called Clarity this weekend. It was very, very good. The main speaker was Dr. David Platt. To see a vdeo, click here. (The first half is kind of a flashback, but the 2nd half gives reference to this year's conference.

Today in class at work, a kid fell over in his desk and cut the tip of his finger practically to the bone. He had to get 20 stitches. Later, another girl went out the door and threw up in the hall.Wonderful day.

Unless you have been on another planet, you have seen and heard about two major disasters that have taken place in the Southeast. The last count I heard was that 19 people were killed in the tornadoes, and 6 college students were killed from the bus going off the overpass in Atlanta.I found it quite amazing, because just the day before I had read something that applies to these tragedies in an

I'm posting anyway. I've got stuff going on, just not sure how much of it is blog worthy. I went back and we talked to the guy that the Mormon situation happened with. Had a good visit with him. Our Men's Ministry Wed. morning Bible study went great again this morning. We watched a 20 min. clip from John Piper, then met in small groups. We're already starting in accountability stuff.

IF GOD BE FOR US It turns out the young man was surprised to meet us this night, because he had a quasi-appointment with the Mormon "missionaries." (Missionaries indeed; of the Father of Lies) And a mere 15 minutes or so after we arrived…so did they. They saw us talking to the young man; Jacob having Bible in hand as he showed him a warning from the Book of Revelation against those like the

Yesterday we had Micah's second birthday party in the morning, and then that evening I had our new Men's Ministry kickoff dinner at church. Jared was here for Micah's party, and then it snowed and the roads closed in Towns Co., so he just stayed and took some pictures for me at the dinner. I'll have those up hopefully pretty soon.

When the webpage tried to load Haloscan, it kept making my blog freeze up...so I got rid of it. So from now on, I'm using the regular blogger comments. I pasted David and Jared's comments from the last post, so there would be some continuancy.Only problem is now I can't check my comments at work, because the firewall keeps me from looking at blogger stuff.

The other day I went to Wal-Mart with Tori and Micah in the van. I got Micah out, and pressed the lock button on my drivers door, shut it and went in. Upon returning to the van, I saw my van as I left it. Locked, but with Micah's side sliding door wide open.Yes.

I told him I appreciated the article. So often, short-term missionaries are shown in a fanatical nut-job way in the media.

If you're like me, you've seen a lot recently in the news about Barbaro. The famous racehorse that won all 6 races that it finished. Much of the world has closely followed the story of this storybook-like horse's broken foot, and attempts at making a physical comeback. People have been emotionally attached to this horse, and recently world headlines were made again when Barbaro was euthanized (

Mission Accomplished. The Trash Kennel is emptied. I took the day off of work today, and spend the hours necessary to completely clean up the area. We are already using our regular trash service again. Now maybe the Hatfields will leave the McCoys alone.

Tonight I was at our Sunday School class' monthly outreach. We were setting up a ballroom for a fundraiser tomorrow. It is a fundraiser in honor of a girl in our church's youth group who was killed. They give the money to kids as scholarships to go on mission trips, etc. It is a dinner and then a silent auction.Well, I was there setting up...along with a bunch of other people, and the

I was on my way home from work this afternoon, and as I was driving I looked ahead to a 4-way intersection / red-light, and saw what appeared to be shriners all over it asking for donations. I'm all about giving to charity, but I don't like people all over my car trying to guilt me into giving money. So as I'm approaching the intersection, the light is red, and so I try to slow way down ahead

I've had a couple of trees in the backyard that were starting to cause some worry. Pine beetles are ravashing my backyard and pinetrees are dying and falling left and right. I had two big ones that were dead that were really threatening the house. One of them was very massive and only about 20-30 feet from the house. I seemed like a big axe just waiting to fall on us. I can cut some trees

I love to peruse a bookstore. It's one of my favorite R&R activities. I think part of my liking of it, is that it allows my random mind to find mental snacks from every aisle of the literary grocery store. Today I spent some more time at Books-A-Million, and read bits from War and Peace, Sun Tsu's The Ancient Art of War, to a LIFE photos book, Skeptic Magazine (it's good to see where the

Our previous master bedroom paint job was a wild and crazy purple thing. Light, flat purple, with a dark glossy purple sponge effect on top. We even had purple rope-lights. We decided it was time for a more normal look. So we went to Lowe's and settled on this color. I think it was called dustbunny or something. It was a neutral, earthtone. We have other renovation plans for our bedroom

Today dad came over and we put a base coat of paint on the walls in the bedroom. We are painting over our radical purple creation, and going with a neutral earth tone. We are getting to be old people.

The Kelly Landfill Service has been closed, and not of it's own volition.Today we were served with a county violation notice. Apparently, our neighbor (who can't see our trash pen from his house) called the Sheriff's office and reported our trash bin. Seems a couple of their dogs have come over and found a way to get some trash out and take it home as a take-out dinner. Their owners didn't

I was thinking about what Jesus said about turning the other cheek, and how that relates to things such as self-defense. My personal opinion up to this point is that if I am attacked alone, I am not to retaliate. If my family is attacked, I am to kick some bu-twa. I am not sure, if in the spur of the moment if I would actually follow this premeditated decision. If someone came up to me and

This game is really good. I like the last NFS game, but this one is great, the multiplayer is the bomb because it's like when I was in college and you can play pursuit and take turns being cops. I like chasing people down. It's more fun when you play with people you know...so.....I have it, Jared has it, David will have it, I'm going to try to get by buddy Jacob to get it, and Ryan G. needs to

I can not possibly list everything...but a few of my favorites were:* A wireless adapter for my 360. This wins top present award.* Need for Speed: Carbon for my 360.* Many nice shirts.* Two nice pairs of shoes.* $50* Waterproof clock for the shower, so I can soak up every minute.

The girl who sold it apparently thinks that you don't have to tell the post office electronics are fragile...or get insurance even when your ebay auction says its included.

I found this quote by John Piper interesting:One of the values of being aware of the sorts of things Philip Jenkins, of Penn State University, writes about in The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity is that it helps explode fatalistic thinking. Just when you thought you knew how the Christian mission and the world would end, and were yawning toward Armageddon, along comes Jenkins

My pastor had an excellent sermon this past Sunday. It brought tears to people's eyes, even his own. The message was Thanksgiving related, and he told yet another story from the mission field of people who had families massacred and tortured and made their way to Costa Rica, where he was at the time. He related them to the people spoken of in Hebrews who faced trials:Others were tortured and

Well, today is the big day. We are taking Micah to the Wiggles concert. It starts at about 3 pm at The Arena in Gwinnett. We will leave at about 1 to go down there. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees them. He is absolutely obsessed with them.I'll let you know how it went when I come back.PS. There are tornado warnings in N. Ga. today....we are hoping that will keep some

Today, out on the field, some students were doing cartwheels. They wanted me to do one.I did one;I hurt my ankle.

Something funny that we're noticing that Micah does, is he likes for certain things to be in order. He'll take his cars and trucks (which he is absolutely obsessed with and wants to carry ALL of them EVERYWHERE) and he'll line them up in a perfect row and then start applauding. And he is very meticulous about them. Once he lines them up, if you go and turn one to face the other way, so that it

I really wish I could get lasik surgery. I've had to wear glasses or contacts since...hmm...maybe fourth grade or so. I wore contacts for a long time, but in general they are uncomfortable for me. (Especially in one eye more than the other.) So I wear glasses all the time now, but they are often crooked, I'm not sure why. Maybe I have a crooked head or something. I can't think of much I

This is a picture of me, just laying here with my laptop, too tired and lazy to think of anything meaningful to post about.I got back and hour or so ago from a leg workout that about killed me. Let me just say, "I hate squats". I feel like my legs are going to fall off. I might be a little more enthusiastic about it, if I played some sport or something...but I stand behind a podium for a

I am at home watching Micah while Tori is at church, because he has a bad runny nose. While I was watching TV, I noticed he was in the kitchen and had gotten quiet. Quiet is never good; it means mischief is afoot. So I got up and checked and he was standing by the table. He wasn't doing anything (at that moment). He just looked at me like, "What? Must you constantly accuse me?" So I sat

Just thought I'd show off my dog's big ears.Hmm...not really much to say. Just thought I'd post, so people wouldn't have to keep looking at my blood pressure post....I drove a bus to a judgement house in Toccoa yesterday. Our church is doing one next year, and this group was going to get ideas. Theirs was ok. I've seen better, but overall it was good.I'm watching Everybody Loves Raymond right

No, not batting practice...blood pressure. As you may know, recently I had a physical. Part of that was having some routine bloodwork done. The results said that things were normal except some of my lipids. But I may have eaten before this, so that may have thrown it off. But it said my cholesterol was 206, when it shouldn't be above 200. And my triglycerides were 293, when it shouldn't be

I sold my Total Gym yesterday. It's been a fun 3 years. All 8 or 9 times I used you. It was memorable. Especially the falling off and such. Good thing I only spent $250 on you.On the good side, I got $150 for it. I gave Tori 70 something of it. The rest goes in the Charlie bank.

Yes, blogger tells me this is my 800th post.And what should I celebrate this with.....Scientists at Texas A & M University who accidentally genetically engineered a flying chicken in 2005, were required by the department of agriculture to destroy the experiment notes and had to destroy the chick, as well.

I'm driving our Sunday School class to Chattanooga tomorrow, God-willing. We are supposed to leave the church about 6:30. We're going up there for a marriage retreat. The church is paying for most all of it, which is a nice plus. I think it will be like a 3 hour drive or so. Hopefully, they'll want to take the interstate and I can just cruise.Tori's parents are coming up to keep Micah for

It is so easy to take a picture with my computer and just throw it up, I thought I'd just put this on here as I try to figure out what to post about.Tori's been having some headaches that cause bluriness in her left eye and numbness in her left arm. The doctors/nurses we have talked to seem to think it is a vascular headache/migrain. We are just keeping an eye on her blood pressure which is

Jars of Clay is kicking off a new tour with a performance at Toccoa Falls College. I'm getting in for free because I'm driving the youth on the church bus. I like Jars of Clay, so it ought to be good.

I usually can just use Haloscan's automatic installer when I make a template change, but I switched over to the beta version of blogger, and now haloscan can't automatically install, and I can get the manual install to work. So, for at least awhile, I'll have to use a regular blogger comment box, but it will at least be a pop-up.

Yesterday, for the first time in probably about 4 years, I worked out at a gym. Today, I literally have to pick up my right arm with my left, and I can't touch my nose.I have missed working out for a long time, but regardless, I still haven't been able to do it. I tried buying a Total Gym, but that didn't last long. It's just hard to do it without a workout partner.There is a new youth pastor
