‘Jesus does not promise that when we bless our enemies and do good to them they will not despitefully use and persecute us. They certainly will. But not even that can hurt or overcome us, so long as we pray for them. For if we pray for them, we are taking their distress [...]

On August 10, Jacob was baptized at our church here in Cambridge. Our pastor, Rick, remarked that at only three weeks of age Jacob was one of the youngest children he had baptized in some time (we did it then to coincide with Leann’s parents’ visit). But of course, we could have waited [...]

Work has gotten busy again (no more working from home with my son in my lap), and there’s been little time to post an update. I mentioned previously that I failed to buy a video camera prior to Jacob’s birth; a few weeks ago we bought one and have taken some very nice video of [...]

As promised, the gallery of photos of Jacob is now a sidebar. Right over there. To the right. No, a little down, under my pic – yes, there. Seriously, people, if it were a snake it’d bite you.*

‘There exists in our society a widespread fear of judging … [B]ehind the unwillingness to judge lurks the suspicion that no one is a free agent, and hence the doubt that anyone is responsible or could be expected to answer for what he has done … Who am I to judge? actually means We’re all [...]
