Favorite Quotes
- ***"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." (C. S. Lewis)
- ***"Our churches have turned into theaters and our preachers have turned into witty motivational speakers with high entertainment value," (Thomas G. Long)
- **Too often, Preachers think that they have to make the Gospel more interesting to the world instead of allowing an already interesting and powerful Gospel go about remaking the world. Can preaching once again be revived to its proper end? (William Willimon)
- **Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs one step at a time. (Mark Twain)
- **The fundamental problem with most of us is not deficient self-esteem but inadequate divine-esteem. (Daniel Block)
- **If my sermon becomes another product that makes you feel a little less miserable this week, then that, it seems to me, is a little less than the gospel. (William Willimon)

Not fair! You and Pat didn't make funny faces. Why, oh, why did you post this one rather than the one on Facebook???

Didn't mean to comment twice. Sorry.
Just think… you could have had a stomach virus hit like it did at my folks' house. Now THAT makes for a memorable Christmas.

Tim - the boys all suffered with Fifth Disease while in Florida - Nathan was getting over it, Jeremy had it when they came, and Derek got it while we were all together. But all are well now - saw them yesterday.
Nana - The boys got well, but I caught that cough from Derek. I even lost most of my voice for 2 days after school started again.
Dad - Couldn't you have also posted some of the good pictures?? Someone may think this is normal for our family. Oh wait, it is normal!!!! Nevermind!
I am glad you had a great Christmas. I am praying that you and your family have a fantastic 2009.
