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.

Negotiation Tactics of Boys

We were going through a junk drawer, and Tina found this note from our two boys which they had written some time back.  The boys slept in bunk beds for years, and then one day decided they wanted a change.  Apparently their request was not moving fast enough, and in an effort to move things along more quickly, they presented us with this written argument.

 
We did move the big wooden train out of their room, moved the dresser, and separated their beds to opposite sides of the room.  For the record, Elias has found a way to sleep with a "small pile of well used toys to keep him occupied" piled on the end of his bed.

What concerns me the most, however, is that when our boys are grown, and they think back to their childhood, what they will remember is their daddy being unhappy about the state of their room.

This is the definition of a no-win situation for a father.
