You WILL Contribute A Verse

May 2, 2009

Have you heard this wonderful poem by Walt Whitman? Perhaps in high school literature or maybe in Dead Poet’s Society? Let me share it…
O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless–of cities fill’d with the foolish;
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, [...]

Floppy Head aka Tony

April 30, 2009

April 27, 2009

We’ve been having fun with Nehemiah’s Superman Capes. They were handmade by his Great-Gran and were gifts from Mimi and Papi for his birthday. Needless to say, they are getting a lot of use.

Big deal that they chose Lincoln Logs to play with recently. These blocks tend to frustrate them still. Maybe it’s an age [...]

Character of the Unseen

April 20, 2009

excerpt from my journal, me talking to God…
Character of the Unseen: Right now, this is what you are building in me. Tony mentioned this phrase tonite as we were reading and discussing some scripture, and I rushed to write it down. This is it. The character you are working on right now in my life [...]

Creative Peeks

April 20, 2009

I love photography. I love how a picture can give you a little peek into the creative life of a family. These are all random shots from our home that I’ve taken over the last couple weeks.
