Picking up midstream…
… and um, thank you for Jesus, dyin on the cross, because Jacob doesn’t want me in his room, and because I don’t want him in my room, because I love my piggy bank. And thank you for Jacob, and for Mommy & Daddy, and Molly and Kate (friends), and Nanna and Pap, and [...]

For those of you who read this blog fairly regularly, THANK YOU! I started it with the intent of it being somewhat of a ministry opportunity, centered on spiritual things mostly to help encourage others. I do post random tid-bits occasionally too for fun!
I have been out of town with my job transition for the [...]
A Special Boy’s Birthday!

Amazing how 7 years has passed. Little baby Jacob is not so little anymore… he’s 60 pounds now, and 4-1/2 feet tall or so. Some crazy awesome memories of the first few days with this little man, and while we knew the day he was born, we didn’t bring him into our home until July [...]
Christmas… our 6th time with kids

Well, we’ve survived a 6th Christmas holiday. This time, there were noticeably more grown up gifts… Santa brought Jacob a bike. A very cool one! At the end of an hour he was riding 50 yards or so by himself. Woohoo! Amberlee got a Barbie trike, and is equally ecstatic about it. Then there’s the [...]
Cinderella Man… an absolutely must-see movie.

No, no… I’m not talking about Rocky Balboa. I’m talking about the story of James J. Braddock, better known as “Cinderella Man.” It is on TV tonight, and I was reminded of how much I fell in love with it the first time I rented it (3 or 4 times!). Unfortunately, I must warn you that [...]
Prayer for the Chinese believers
Posted in Trivialities on December 12, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Father, your people in China are struggling. While they seem to be hungrily consuming your word and many are coming to Christ, some are being taken by a cult and overpowered by the enemy. Please strengthen their resolve. Help them to see within themselves that they must ground themselves in a way to resist the [...]
Older parents… does it sink in?

By the title, that may sound pretty disrespectful. But I have a question for all of you seasoned parents out there who’ve “been there, done that.” Do the lessons we pound and pound into the brains of our mushheaded children ever sink in? I feel like I have totally filled a sponge with water sometimes [...]
the N word

Kramer – or Michael Richards in real life – professionally committed suicide. His blunder will follow him to his grave, I’m sure. You know the incident… the one in which he “lost it” in the middle of his comedy stand when 2 African American guys taunted him from the seats. He lashed out and verbally punished those two black [...]
the new Ellis digs…

Our new place rocks. We relocated this last week from the beautiful and spacious Spring Hill, TN to the Green Hills area of Nashville. More than anything it’s close to what we do MOST of the week which is in town; work, hobby, etc. We’re about 2 mins. from Lipscomb University, and about 10 from where [...]
Jackson Christian wins State Football Title

What an amazing experience! Not so much for me, but for my bro-in-law, Grey Powell. After being the underdog on the way into the state final game with a record of 11-3, the JCS Eagles knocked off the previously 14-0 Friendship Christian Commanders on Friday, Dec. 1. The cool thing is this – Grey started this [...]
