My Regular 6-Week Post
Since I am averaging a post every 6 weeks or so, I am obligated to write something here. Nothing much has gone on. Just bought a house. Like to see it? If I could find my camera after the move, I would take some pictures and show you. Shannon may have it, but since she [...]
Jacob Preschool Graduation
Summer is here. Not officially of course, but the practical reality reveal all the key signs. Children are out of school being the most prominent. My son is still in his Goddard preschool in Franklin, but they had their “graduation” ceremony last week. It was suprisingly touching. They sang a little song that included lyrics [...]
These Girls are Different
As I have mentioned, Ava is starting to potty train. Generally, I put her on the potty first thing in the morning. In our past attempts, the body fluid in question very easily makes it way into the toilet. Yesterday, for some reason, it began going in directions other than the toilet. I certainly have [...]
Paradox About Hearing God: Hearing God by Dallas Willard (Recap)
My favorite author is Dallas Willard, and his books on the spiritual life and God’s Kingdom have made a tremendous impact on my life. His first work in this theme is “Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God“. Knowing “God’s will” is a huge desire in Christian circles but one that is confusing to [...]
Flood of 2010
The flood of 2010 that ravaged Nashville affected our new home build. The home, in the community of Riverwall on the Harpeth, was a riverside lot on the aforementioned Harpeth River. It was nearly complete, and we were hoping to close by end of May. According to our neighbors, we got about 4 ft of [...]
Mother’s Date and Lucy Kate
Among my busy life and natural disasters, another excuse for not updating my blog is I have been having problems getting my picture album software to work. It is working now, and I hope it will stay that way. My first niece, Lucy Kate Hagerman, came into the world last week on my birthday, May [...]
Just a few things going on…
I really do like the idea of writing in my blog, but this season of life is busy, busy busy. How about a quick round up in case I don’t write again for another 6 weeks. Jacob had a wellness check up this week. Measures 3’11″ and 50 lbs. Very healthy and “normal” for his [...]
Ava’s Happy Birthday Song
Sweet little Ava Lauren turned 2 this Saturday. She is my little princess. I get so much joy just looking at her. She is so fun too. She loves to sing songs and is quite advanced in verbal skills for a 2 year old. Here she is singing happy birthday while eating her chocolate birthday [...]
Prayer of Jesus: “Dad”
We are nearly half way through with the Prayer of Jesus study. Dr. Hemphill outlines the Model Prayer into 4 parts: The Address, The Committment, The Petition, The Benediction. Last week we focused on the Address. He emphasized that the “Father” part of the prayer and made the statement it is similar to our modern [...]
Enjoying It While It Lasts
Today, two great reminders of this special season of life. First, Ava, who has recently developed into an excellent kisser, wanted to kiss all of the parts of my head. My eyes, my ears, my nose, my chin. I gladly let her. Her wet lips on my cheek and the pop of her smooch are [...]
