We have switched back to Starbucks Breakfast Blend. After a year and half of ALDI’s brand coffee I made a pot the other day and it was as awful as I would have imagined $1.99-a-pound coffee being. All I can say is it was God’s grace for the past year that enabled us to actually [...]

New Blogger Widget
This is my first post using the new blogger widget! If it works this might become my favorite widget next to the one that tells me where to find the cheapest gas around my house.

Off to Church We Go
Shawnda is usually the one putting the cute pictures of our kids online but I beat her with this one. She took this before we headed out the door for church this past Sunday. They love Sunday’s! Samuel is getting a reputation in the nursury for ‘having a lot of energy!’ That’s what they tell [...]
The Disturbing & Annoying Doctrine of Predestination

Update
Happy Valentines Day! I have the most beautiful wife! She is doing an incredible job being pregnant and taking care of Samuel & Keziah (who have progressively increased in energy levels since she’s been pregnant!). Today I had the joy of bringing home our favorite Indian dish and sharing a candlelight dinner with her (as [...]
