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.

Things Boys Do With Knives

Two Christmas's ago, we gave both boys their first pocket knives.  They asked what they could do with a pocket knife.  "Whittling is a good thing to do," we answered, "as opposed to throwing them at each other."

So, on our anniversary, Elias presented us with this creation.  The large chicken is about an inch and a half tall.


Elias's two chickens.
 


We had my dad over for dessert for his 79th birthday.  Elias gave him this.  The canoe is about 6 inches long.


Elias's canoe, paddle, and fishing pole.




I was never this creative.  He must get it from his mother.
