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.

That's Trouble

Our son Elias, 11 years of age, went with me to pick up some things for our bathroom project we are working on.  I loaded two pieces of 1/4" plywood into the back of my truck and hooked a bungee cord from the bumper to the lid of the truck cap to hold in the plywood.

Elias looked at it and said "is that all you're going to do?  That's trouble."

"Why do you say that," I asked.

"Because that bungee cord might break, the plywood would fall out, and BAM!, it could hit a car, and then we would get sued."

He went on to tell me that people sue for anything now.  You could drop a penny on someone's toe, and they would sue you.

We have raised a cynic.
