I'm Thankful God Made Me A Man...
...because I'm just not tough enough to be a mom. I've had a good opportunity this winter to stay at home more and I have slowly (hey I did just say God made me a man) realized that no matter how hard a day I've had I have no room to complain. For starters: I don't have to bring my costomers home with me; I am also not responsible before God for their actions (not that my Wife is solely responsible for our children's actions but I think you know what I mean). It has been difficult but a blessing especially this last week as Rebekah then David then Noelle and now Timothy all have come down with a bad cold. Pray for us please! Oh, and more pics coming Wednesday.

End of silence...
I apologise to all for my silence over the last two weeks, I had a tooth in desperate need of drilling and filling and didn't feel much like doing anything.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust...
Well Lent is here and all of us received our ashes for the first time in our lives yesterday, I really appreciate this time when I am compelled by people and things outside myself to a deeper spiritual life.
I am learning to fast this lent, also I am reading through the bible again and hoping to finish reading Augustine's Confessions, I am also seeking to make prayer a greater part of my life.
Let us call upon the Lord, for in His compassion and His mercy He will hear and heal us!
