Update…

In light of the many tasks ahead and some travelling in October, blogging will be minimal in the next 8 weeks.

Finally a dad!

After 41 weeks, God graciously brought to our lives a daughter.

O Heavenly Father,
I commend my children unto Thee.
Be Thou their God and Father;
and mercifully supply whatever is wanting in me
through frailty or negligence.
Strengthen them to overcome the corruptions of the world,
to resist all solicitations to evil,
whether from within or without;
and deliver them from the secret snares of the enemy.
Pour Thy grace into their hearts,
and confirm and multiply in them the gifts of Thy Holy Spirit,
that they may daily grow in grace
and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ;
and so, faithfully serving Thee here,
may come to rejoice in Thy presence hereafter.

Amen.

Dominion and Blogging

Sometimes the best way to have dominion over a blog is not to blog at all. There is too much taking place all at once in my life and blogging is simply not among my priorities. This does not entail that this is over. I will return in the days or weeks ahead.

Back for a short while…

I have been traveling the last week and am home for a couple of days before I hit the road again. As my licensure exam approaches I will need to spend more time in preparation.

While traveling, I was shocked to hear of the death of Tim Russert. One of my greatest joys on Monday morning was to upload the latest Meet the Press program. Russert was unrelenting in his questioning. Those who were interviewed by him had to encounter their past words and actions. Russert afforded no politician the right  to be a  politician; the right to be untruthful. Meet the Press will not be the same. Monday mornings will not be the same.

RTS: My Four Years

Hopefully, in the following weeks I will be posting about my four years at Reformed Theological Seminary. It will be a sketch of my experience and friendships in these last four formative years.
