Thoughts of a Christian Husband, Father, and Pastor
It’s been one of my habits for some time now to give my children each a blessing before they go to sleep each night. As their father and spiritual head, I view it as my responsibility to teach, to discipline, to pray for, and to bless my kids. I want all of God’s blessing for [...]
I am the world’s most blessed man. I’m so thankful to God for all his blessings to me.
Outside of Christ, nothing brings me more joy than the three women in my life. If you know me, you know I don’t come close to deserving them or their love, but God has granted me both. And [...]
I took the morning off today. I took my girls for a long, long walk in their stroller, then we went to the park and played with the swings and the slide, ran around like crazy people, and played in the sand.
As we were playing, I was filled with joy and delight in all that [...]
There are certain moments in a father’s life that make you stop and think… ‘wow… that child sure reminds me of me!’
Last night, after proudly proclaiming that if she finished her dinner she would get a treat, Susannah finished her dinner. Of course, now Daddy was somehow obliged to provide a treat (since Mom, who [...]
My daughter Susannah is almost two. I love her just about to death. One of her favourite things to do (just like her daddy) is to go outside in the rain. It thrills her to no end to run around and splash in the puddles and get soaked by the falling rain.
A few nights ago [...]
The other day Stacey returned home with a special purchase for Susannah. It was a bottle of bright-coloured, foaming hand soap. Susannah has reached an age where we want her to be able to do more things (like washing her hands) on her own.
Susannah took to this task with joy! She stood at the sink [...]
My girls… In their PJ’s, all calm and quiet, ready for bed. Or not.
Aside from my Saviour, my greatest love is for my family. So, of course, this post brings me great delight.
My wife, Stacey, has been blogging for a few months now–and I love it! This post is just reciting a few of our favourite memories of our kids from over the past few weeks. They grow [...]
Sometimes it’s good to do what’s counter-intuitive. In fact, I’ve found that the longer I’ve been a Christian, the more I need to second-guess and examine every motive. Sure enough, there is deep-rooted sin in there somewhere. I’ve found God’s evaluation of humanity in Gen 8.21 (‘the inclination of their minds is evil from childhood [...]
Life is better as a Christian… for so many reasons.
The other night, when Stace and I got back from our trip to Washington DC and our visit at Covenant Life Church, I had the pleasure of putting my girls to bed.
Susannah and Caitlyn have both had special songs that I sing to them when I’m [...]
It was quite a delight when Nana recently loaned me some old photos of me as a baby at our family cottage. It was even more of a delight to compare me bathing in the cottage sink to my daughter (25 years later!) bathing in the same sink!
Of course, as baby photos often do, these [...]
At 9.53am on Sunday, November 19, 2006, my awesome wife delivered what I happen to think is the world’s most beautiful baby girl. She was born about 55cm (22 inches) long and weighed in at about 3.6kg (7lbs 15oz).
The labour was long, hard, and not at all what we expected, but Stacey and I can [...]
