With CavWife and I out of town this past weekend the kids stayed with some friends. I haven’t written too much about the kids lately. Our friend’s updates were funny, so I thought I’d make them available.
Ch. 1: played on floor from 8-9:30. LAID on floor while CavKids PLAYED on floor.
Ch. 2: SNACK–brought up by [...]

Considering When Homosexuality Hits Home
Posted in Books, Counseling, Family, Sexuality, tagged anger, Counseling, depression, grief, homosexuality, hope, Joe Dallas, SSA on March 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My friend has been busy reading. I am filled with envy and must repent. She read another book by Joe Dallas. This one was When Homosexuality Hits Home: What to Do when a Loved One Says They’re Gay. Here’s what she says:

Considering Desires in Conflict
Posted in Counseling, Family, Parenting, Sexuality, tagged Counseling, homosexuality, Joe Dallas, spiritual disciplines on February 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Here is another guest post on the subject of homosexuality. This time my friend reviews Desires in Conflict, Hope for Men Who struggle with Sexual Identity by Joe Dallas.
The updated version of this book was written in 1991 but the message stands true still. As the subtitle states, the book gives hope for men who [...]
Considering Relative Silence

Yes, I haven’t been too active on the lately. That is what happens when you are juggling three p/t jobs. Here’s what is happening, if you care.
In addition to my Stated Supply gig, I’ve gotten jobs at a hardware store, and the local hospital. The church has called a new pastor, and my services will [...]
Considering A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality
Posted in Counseling, Family, Parenting on February 16, 2009 | 22 Comments »
Today I have a guest blogger who asked to anonymously post some book reviews. Their family is going through some difficulties, and this helps them process what they are reading. Perhaps it will help you.
These posts will deal with an issue that is quite controversial today. There has been a shift in thinking on some [...]

Considering Our Flight to NY
Posted in Family, Humor, Parenting, Vacation, tagged car seats, diapers, plane rides, tolls, vacation travel on December 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Everything seemed to get off to a good start. We went to bed at a reasonable hour, mostly packed and oatmeal soaking for a quick breakfast for the kids. We’d be getting them up a little early, not way before the crack of dawn like on other trips, to get on the road to the [...]
Considering Strawberry Picking
Posted in Family, tagged Black Friday, catfish, hydroponic farming, strawberries on November 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
While all the world seemed to be shopping on “Black Friday,” the CavFamily spent part of the morning picking strawberries. CavWife’s friend let us know of a new place to pick them. The farm is only 2 years old, and it is hydroponic which is way cool.
Hydro-who-a-whatis????
Hydroponics (from the Greek words hydro water and ponos [...]
Birthday-Date Night
Posted in Family, tagged birthday, James Bond on November 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
A friend has provided gift cards for a movie & dinner, as well as babysitting so CavWife & I can go out and celebrate our birthdays. With mine this weekend, we will see a Cavman movie.
Sorry Roger Ebert, James Bond is more than an attitude- he’s an action hero, an assassin, [...]
CavSon Update
Posted in Family, Health, Parenting, tagged palate surgery on November 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yes, some info on CavSon. I only said “most”, not “all”, of the CavFamily updates would be on my Facebook page. This one will be in both places.
We have noticed the fistula in CavSon’s hard palate (anterior) getting bigger. More food has been stuck up there (easily removed though). Last week the raman noodles I [...]
Reformation Day 2008
Posted in Family, Theology, tagged Reformation Day, sermon on November 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Hope you are having, or have had a great Reformation Day. Here’s my Reformation Day sermon from a few years ago- From Rags to Righteousness.
Tonight we took the kids to a Fall Festival/Trunk or Treat event at a local baptist church. They had a great time, especially CavGirl. They had 2 Moonwalks (aka bouncy machine), [...]
Considering We Own The Night
Posted in Culture, Family, Movies, tagged American Gangster, cop drama, crime drama, father issues, Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, Prodigal Son, The Departed on October 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We Own the Night takes place in drug plagued late 80’s New York City. It is the story of a father and his two sons. To say there are dad issues in this movie is quite the understatement. I was reminded of the story of the Prodigal Son(s). Joaquin Phoenix plays Bobby, the son of [...]
Considering Spiritual Delight and Danger

Ran across this in my reading this morning. Great stuff!
“Ecstasy and delight are essential to the believer’s soul and they promote satisfaction. We are not meant to live without spiritual exhilaration, and the Christian who goes a long time without the experience of heart warming will soon find himself to be tempted to have his [...]
Considering Instructing My Kids’ Hearts
Posted in Books, Family, Ministry, Parenting, Prayer, Theology, tagged Deuteronomy 6, discipline, instruction, Ministry, Parenting, Prayer, sinfulness, Tedd Tripp on October 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m currently working my way thru Instructing a Child’s Heart by Tedd & Margy Tripp (also available on CD) in my free time.
So far it has been a good book to read: clear & convicting. That’s why I wanted to read it- to become a more godly parent and learn to build what I never [...]
Considering My Princess & Warrior
Posted in Family, Humor, Parenting, Photography, tagged birthday party, kids, MMA, princess, wrestling on October 14, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Being a dad is a magnificent thing. My little girl is growing up WAY too fast. Soon I’ll have to get a 9mm and work on the “Application to Date CavGirl” form.
She went to a friend’s birthday party this past weekend where they all dressed up like beautiful little girls and acted like models. She [...]
Considering CavWife’s Birthday
Posted in Family, tagged birthdays, Deep Purple, Longhorn Restaurant on October 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Today (Friday) was CavWife’s birthday. We began the celebration last night. (actually, we celebrate the whole month- she gets to choose any videos we rent, so it was a chick-flick fest last weekend) We dropped the kids off at a friend’s and went out to Longhorn. She must have been replaced by a pod because:
She ordered [...]
Considering Pastor Appreciation
Posted in Family, Ministry, tagged gratitude on October 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is Pastor Apprecation Month. So, if you love your pastor- let him know. I’m not currently pastoring a church- merely doing pulpit supply while I seek a new call. But, I got a nice card the other day.
You both are a blessing and the message from God that you preached yesterday and other times [...]
Considering Two of My Treasures
Posted in Family, tagged kids, Parenting, park, pool, tricycle on September 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s been a difficult few days ’round here. But we have two great gifts.
Saturday morning I spent some time with the kids sitting on my lap while I read a series of books to them. It is one thing no one can take away. Those great memories of great times with the kids.
Then we went [...]
Considering CavSon’s Baptism
Posted in Adoption, Baptism, Family, Worship, tagged Adoption, baptism ceremony, church membership, citizenship, Family on September 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
It was long overdue. This is what happens when you don’t have a call and you are a Presbyterian. My membership is with my Presbytery, not a local church. This complicated & delayed the process of baptizing CavSon. [I have a few posts on the Reformed position on baptizing infants- not all views on infant [...]
