Today I had an eye doctor appointment. After dilation, they take me in a room and dim the lights. I’m in the straight backed chair, sitting chris-cross-applesauce (formerly known as “Indian style”). The nice lady closes the door and I have a revelation. It’s quiet. Totally quiet. Not one kid saying my name. Not one
It feels like SUCH a long time since I’ve blogged anything. Strange. Because the good joke it that it has been less than a week. That’s what love feels like, I guess. 🙂 Have you heard of Paste Magazine? I dig it. Heather and I went to a party at their headquarters last night in
She’s good. Real good.
Here is the letter I mailed out this week. Please take time to read it. (And I promise, as I continue to defeat this dreaded cold, my blog world will return to normal. But honestly, I’ve been meaning to put this up- tonight just seemed like a good night.) April 17, 2007Dear friends and family,

(I think thickness works there- like pudding, not like fog. You with me?) Hebrews 11:6“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because
It’s not every day that Jarrett’s daddy turns 30. Actually, it’s not today. Or yesterday. But the surprise party WAS yesterday. And it ruled. Except when poor Jarrett was subjected to this torture. God help that boy being raised in a house divided. Go dawgs.Here’s Jarrett helping Jeff blow out his tool candles. Haley found
Friday night was our first FaceDown prayer service at the new church building. It’s weird. And awesome. I can’t believe we have our own building. Our home. The service was amazing. To pray in the place that we have been WAITING for, to look at the sanctuary, the youth room, all these places that we
Not much has ruled in 07 like BATL. Mom and I are still here- I refuse to end BATL. Last night was hard core- we ate at the Dillard House. KTB didn’t even know what was coming. She was overwhelmed. We couldn’t take one picture, we were too focused on the meal at hand. The
