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.

Sarah's First Car

(Warning:  The following entry contains a childish word which may be offensive to sensitive eyes.  Proceed at you own risk.)

After parking our car at the Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville on Saturday, we elected to walk rather than ride the bus into town.  Sarah and I strolled along, and decided to pick out the kind of car she should get when she is able to drive. 

The cars we liked were few and far between, so we began to identify those we did NOT like.  At the top of the heap was this car.


We decided that in the unfortunate event she was forced to drive such a poor excuse for a cool vehicle, then at the very least we should give the car an appropriate name to ease her pain.

There is nothing more fun than to quote lines out of movies we like.  Lines from two different movies, "Hoot" and "RV", came to mind immediately in our car naming process.

The name for the car we choose was the "Smallish, greenish, squarish, rolling turd".  Elias thought we should add the phrase "with turbo" at the end, which we agreed was a nice touch.
