Potpourri
I was going along and got tripped in the school yard and the contents of my knapsack was strewn all over… but I’ll gather things up and attempt to get my papers in order and have something to share in the morning. I was going to write a bit more about the blessing of children […]...

Birth-Control vs Lordship of the Womb
…and there is really so much to say on this matter. As I was sharing yesterday and the day before on some pretty sensitive matters, I recognize that the matter of marriage, family size, the sovereignty of God and Lordship of the womb is probably one of the most volatile topics concerning marriage and family… […]...

Lord of the Womb… another non-optional.
I’m steeped in thought about this matter this morning – not just bcz of celebrating another birthday in our home and not just bcz I wrote about some non-optionals yesterday… but bcz another day passes that reminds me that the season of childbearing has passed on by and I’m beginning to walk through the leaves […]...

Yesterday the new seat belt regulations went into effect for Washington State. The laws for use of Blackberry and other handheld’s takes effect in 6 months and cellphone use restrictions, in 1 year. I share all this bcz I’m sort of generally a generation or two behind in understanding/acknowledging/complying with state laws. Well, or so […]...

Stones
Significant to me are the milestones in my life that were either turning points or celebrations or decisions. Some of the turning points were simply changes in a direction of thought or action—simple things like: from this day forward, I will________. I have marked many of the “I will’s” in my Bible and/or on stones […]...
