Writing So I Can Sleep

I should write more often. It is most certainly a character deficiency that I write as little as I do. I don't sleep well. It takes me a long time to fall asleep at night. My thoughts bounce around in my head. Maybe if I wrote them out of my brain each day they wouldn't torment me so much at night. Lately, it has been thoughts about my son, Ethan James. He is ten, gonna be eleven at the end of September. He has been having seizures. CT scan revealed that the seizures are not being caused by tumors or brain injury... so that's good. But he is still having them, probably five to ten of them a day. When he is falling asleep at night the frequency increases. I get a terrible feeling in my gut every time I witness one. It seems so alien to watch. How can your brain turn on you like that? I know that God is in control. I believe that with all my heart. I know that He is full of love and mercy and grace for His people. I believe that. I also know that this is no guarantee that His people will not have to suffer, in fact, in recent years I have come to discover that this love almost always results in suffering. Weird, I know. Odd, yes. But true... maybe that is what I should write about next.

A New Plan

After several false starts, I have come to the realization that I really do want to be a part of the blogosphere. I am not particularly interested in being widely read, in fact, this will be more of an outlet for my personal ramblings. I will use this as a springboard to share interesting material I cull from the blogs I read on a daily basis, and I will continue to try and be a resource for other parents who are striving daily to raise their kids in the fear and instruction of the Lord. So, my pledge to you, scarce readers, is to publish something, daily... even if it is only a link to someone else's more interesting material! Did you like that? ...someone else's?

Glory of God: Fruit from the Root

Glory of God: Fruit from the Root

Ummmm, yeah.

So, yet another whole year, PLUS, goes by without a post. How do those super pastors find time to pastor, dad, husband, study, read, shepherd, administrate, etc. and blog? Maybe I am just lazy! Maybe if I gave up Facebook and spent that time here instead... hmmmm.

This is not working out as I planned!

Well, I just noticed that it has been almost one year since I have posted to this blog... It has not taken off as I have planned. I am not giving up on it just yet, though. I am going to make another go at it...

Protecting your family in cyberspace

In our house we just about have one computer per person. Our homeschooling approach requires this. In order to protect my family while they are surfing in cyberspace, I researched a number of programs. The best one, IMHO, is Safe Eyes. It is installed on our machines and it has been doing a spectacular job. It has received all kinds of accolades and recommendations from many sources. Pay a flat fee per year and install it on three machines. If you think that your teen aged son will not look at porn on the net, wake up and install this software so he can't.
