Christmas 2009
Here are a whole bunch of pictures from this year’s Christmas. Start with a little Christmas gathering with our friends Bill Emeott, Jeff and Abbey Land. Then Christmas morning at our home after Santa visited and then with my parents. Enjoy and have a great new year.
2009: The Year of Gifts
Sorry if this seems a little incoherent, but I am a bit confused. Not sure where am I. I was in Springfield, TN living in a my home. No, no, I think I was in Orange Beach, AL renting an apartment. No, that can’t be right. Maybe I am in Franklin, TN staying in someone [...]
In Nashville (Franklin, actually)
Been a bit of a whirlwind this month. My posted the news on Facebook several weeks ago so I assume everyone knows we have moved to Nashville as Shannon is the new children’s minister at First Baptist Nashville. We are currently staying at the church’s mission home in Franklin looking for permanent residence. Ironically, now [...]
My Life as a Play: Jacob’s Worship Song
Setting: Daddy is putting Jacob to bed. Jacob has longed like to make up songs, especially worship songs. They are always original, including never repeating the same line twice or in the same key. In fact, there is typically no discernible key or harmony or pitch. Just a worshipful heart. He gives Daddy an impromptu [...]
Morning After
I feel much better about my race this morning because of how bad I feel. I never feel sore after my normal runs. Today, my muscles ache. I obviously pushed myself yesterday which is good.
Race Results: Running Scared 2009
I ran 26:42. I was hoping to be in the 25s, but it was not to be. This was my PR so I am pleased in that regard. The plan was to be at 8:30 at 1 mile, 16:00 at the second mile and run that last part of the race at a 9 mile [...]
Empty Moving Trucks
There are two moving trucks outside our townhome, one each being rented by next door neighbors. These are the two neighbors we first met when we moved here. Each had a daughter nearly Jacob’s age and were natural playmates. These children would knock on our door and ask Jacob to play. Sometimes they came into [...]
Updated Look
I have selected a new theme. Has the style I like, and I think I will keep it for a while. But I may change up my themes every now and then just to try something new. It is not like I have a brand image to uphold. Also, I added a widget on the [...]
New Poll: My 5K Time
I made a new poll regarding this weekend’s 5K race. My goal is in the 25s, but we will see. I have reverted back to the default WordPress theme (the look/design template) because my old theme got hacked and had some links inserted to build up the Google Page ranking of a fradulent site. I [...]
October in Orange Beach
I wish I had my camera yesterday at the beach. It was a really beautiful day. Got there about 5:30 and stayed for nearly an hour until dark. Kids had a blast playing. Jacob likes to “jump” over the waves as they come in. Me and him had a good time out in the ocean. [...]
