Birthday Cake Fail
July 19, 2010

Hard to believe it’s Ava’s second birthday in a couple weeks. On Friday we had a little celebration because I am going to away on her actual birthday. We even got her a Dora cake! She loved the cake but not so much the attention. Check this out:

An Update
May 23, 2010

Just a little update on baby Judah… This week has been a little big of a journey.  Judah was born on Monday morning and immediately we sensed that not everything was right (I know that’s not proper language, but it’s how we felt).  He was a little grey and was having trouble breathing.  They immediately [...]

Shane Claiborne at Exponential
April 27, 2010

I still have lots of notes from Exponential last week that I haven’t posted.  There was a lot to process.

Shane Claiborne shared one of the afternoons on [...]

We’re All Theologians
April 18, 2010

I forgot to mention that I’m spending significant time updating the Royal View Blog for our Fifty To 50 campaign and message series.  We are trying to update almost everyday throughout the 50 days. We showed this video tonight.  I suggest reading Josh Harris’ book Dug Down Deep.
