description of blog

This photo was taken by our daughter, Sarah Timmons, or my wife, depending on who you ask. We were in Rehoboth Beach, DE on Easter Sunday, 2011.


Several years ago, on the way home from a family vacation, I picked up a notebook and quickly recorded an incident that had occurred involving our son. Eventually, I used that story to illustrate something about my spiritual walk as a believer in Christ. Thus began a deliberate attempt to document the significance of everyday events. Almost any ordinary circumstance in daily life can become fodder for another story. This, almost by definition, lends itself to a blog.

Of course, many of the entries here are just ordinary diary style stuff... the stuff of ordinary blogs. Good grief, I don't want to be ordinary.

Hippies

We were sitting at the dinner table tonight discussing the book "To Kill a Mockingbird", which my daughter and I were reading together.  She wasn't that impressed with the story, and brought up another more interesting book she was reading.  In this book, the mother and father were hippies, and had changed their names to Ed and Dreamy.  Our oldest boy says emphatically "Hippies don't get married and they live alone."  We all looked at each other..."What?!"  Turns out, he was thinking of "hermits."
