Read it here first: The latest ministry update.
Just starting using toodledo.com to help me stay on top of the “todos.” Especially with my house being a little turned-over these days as we prepare to sell/buy/move, I need a little help.
P.S. Problem is, having a to do list doesn’t tell you what do to, just tells you what needs to be done, if you catch my drift.
Since my blog got hijacked for the weekend, I couldn’t post this ’til today. But it’s still mine & it’s still true.
I’ve got a lot of opinions about fatherhood. Professionally, I’ve met a lot of fathers – some good ones, some great ones, some mediocre ones, some bad ones, and often, sadly, a lot of just absent ones.
And personally, as a son with a father and with many friends with many fathers, I’ve formed many opinions about fatherhood. It’s hard not to. And you’ve done it to, so don’t judge me.
I’m sure there have been many days that I’ve thought I had fatherhood figured out.
But on this Father’s day, I’m realizing that the few real lessons I’ve learning about being a father are from one who as of yet has no words to speak, yet who has taught me volumes about being a dad.
She has taught me that fatherhood is (more…)
I know, for some of you this is the “way - too - late - where - have - all - my - photos - of - Isa - been” edition.

I’ve already noted that my blogging frequency has hit an all-time low. Thankfully (for everyone), my daughter’s innate beauty is strong enough to carry this blog in its low point.
I’m realizing that one of my main blocks in blogging has been the unfinished thought. For a while, I thought it was time, but I don’t lack time to blog, I’ve lacked the completion of my thoughts with which to make time to blog. Anyway, having come upon this realization, I’m going to attempt to reengage my blog with my (huge archive) unfinished thoughts. God willing, some of them will go somewhere. But at least you’ll see where I’m starting off.
Urban. Young Men. Students. Bonding. Incarnational. Relevant.
Based on a conglomeration of these things, I’ve been ushered into a on-the-fly introduction to hip-hop over the last month or two. In my own opinion, I’m about a decade slow (if not more) in this whole arena, but hey, the turtle beat the hare, so I’ve got a chance.
And since I’m serious about learning, I’ve attached (more…)
I have some birthday reflections to share as I prepare for my balding & gray-bearded future (someday, not today), but I wanted to link to a friend’s post on age-old question about “Why do bad things happen to good people?” I appreciate Eddy’s mind and the thoughts that he has added to this topic. Among several points, he puts forward that:
God is sovereign and is in control and has power over evil. Such a conclusion does not require (more…)
I’ve been in a blogging rut/funk for the past month or two. Not sure why, but just having a hard time focusing on anything to write. Not giving up on blogging, just a little stuck on content right now.
There. I said it.
Read more about it in this week’s update.
As you review Isa’s week in photos, would you remember to pray for her today as she visits with her neurologist, Dr. Gowrinathan, to address the seizure activity she’s been showing intermittently the past few months.

Don’t worry - it’s not just that you’ve missed Isa from the Foto Fix absence. She has missed you, too.

Sorry for the big lapse in the Fix. Hopefully we’re all back on track after a few weeks of sickness, technical difficulties and parental busyness.

It just needs to be said. To whom? I need to start with me.
Unlike your favorite TV shows, the Friday Foto Fix won’t be affected by the upcoming WG strike.

When I began full-time, vocational ministry, fundraising seemed to be - if I can share quite honestly - (more…)
