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.

First Car

Our Katherine will turn 16 in September.  She needs a good, safe car - not some compact that would crumble like a tin can at the slightest impact.  She needs a car that could get scratched, and no one would notice, or care.

53 Chevy Bel Air
I'm thinking a 53 chevy two door, like this one: 

I told my kids about this idea, and they liked it, especially when I told them that their pop-pop used to own one, and drove it like this.

Actually, dad's 53 Chevy Bel Air is the first car I can remember our family owning.  It was Horizon Blue, just like this picture. And it had a stock engine, unlike the video link above.

Of course, once I find one, it will need just a few modifications.  And Katherine will need a few driving instructions.  She will be the coolest kid at school.
