Day One

I successfully made it through day one of my life as a SAHD. I was a little nervous last night about how feedings will go, and I still am abit about tomorrow’s, but things went okay today. He fed at 4:30 and then I woke him up at 9 for his next feeding. I probably [...]

Privacy in the Blogosphere

Since the arrival of my son, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about privacy and the internet, especially as it relates to blogging and social networking. How much is too much? What sort of information is safe to share? What isn’t? When I started blogging, it was a way to keep in contact with [...]

Trips to Greyhound

Anytime we take a trip to the Greyhound station, I leave with a great story. My trip there on Tuesday was no different… Checking the phone messages when we arrived home after church this past Sunday, I listen to a message from Greyhound informing us that they have a package for Bean waiting to be [...]

It’s amazing how this 9lb, 5 week old humanoid can make me feel so defeated. Our foray into the world of bottle feeding has been a tumultuous journey. One filled with peaks and valleys. And it’s only been a week. He’ll typically take at least an ounce from me, but after that, it can all [...]

Disrespect

I have a problem with the way some guys talk about their wives. Wives deserve a certain amount of respect, namely a lot of it.Calling your wife, “the old lady” or “the wife,” is not respectful. It is “your wife.” Your friggin wife!Why is it suddenly okay for a guy to talk about his wife [...]

Adam and Eve: Metaphor or Historically Accurate?

I came across an interesting forum topic yesterday where someone was asking whether the word “them” in Gen 1:25.“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Does the word “them” mean just Adam and Eve, or does it mean many people.

Not such a big deal

It’s amazing how everything is such a big deal right now. The frustration when he doesn’t eat properly, when he doesn’t sleep at night, when he cries, and when he’s just generally uncooperative. And joys of having no idea what he wants when he fusses/cries/makes noise.BUt in a few months, even weeks, everything will change. [...]
