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.

Christmas in Odessa, Delaware

Today we considered taking a quick hour and fifteen minute drive up to Odessa, DE to take a tour of 18th century life.  After some discussion, we elected instead to go once they are decorated for Christmas.  So within the next couple of weeks, we will be off to Odessa.

This is what our wreath and entry usually look like after Thanksgiving.  O.k., so our wreath is not quite this big.

 Postscript:

This is the Appoquinimink Meeting in Odessa.  It is said to be "the smallest brick house of
worship in the United States".  I think I would like to attend here.

Postscript to the Postscript:  

Unfortunately, we did not make it up to Odessa for the tour, due to the ubiquitous busyness of the season.  It will remain on our list of things to do.
