Breakfast in bed
Sunday, May 15th, 2005Judah awoke this morning around 8:30. Mom and I weren’t ready to wake up fully, so I laid down with him on the couch as he watched Caillou.

Faith like a child
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005I’ve written several times about my son, the incomparable Judah Jeremy. I love his faith and spiritual sensibilities (among everything else about him!). Judah has been faithfully praying at home, before bed (and periodically at random times during the day) for Samuel C. just about every day since Sam’s leukemia diagnosis last summer. Judah started [...]
The Gospel according to Neo
Wednesday, May 11th, 2005Church planter Matt Kruse started a blog last month.
