B.A.Timmons: Father and Daughters

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.

Father and Daughters

A couple of weeks ago, the girls and I went to a father/daughter dance. This was our second year in something that has now become an annual tradition. The dance is put on by Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church in Seaford, DE. They take pictures when you first get there and charge $5. The whole night cost us $20, and included refreshments.

The way we found out about the dance is interesting. Our girls take ballet lessons from Mrs. Maubra Jane Randolph of Seaford Dance Center. I often take the girls and sit in the waiting room while they dance. Another father is also frequently there, and over time, we developed a friendship. He invited us to attend the dance last year. Little did he know it provided a needed respite in the midst of crisis.

We discovered that my dancing had not improved much. Well, not at all.
