Judah’s birth announcement
Thursday, November 13th, 2008With the inducement of Baby2 scheduled for Monday, and Judah’s excellent parent/teacher conference this afternoon, I’m feeling sentimental. Here’s Judah’s online birth announcement from his very first website.
January 4, 2001
Dear Friends and Family:
My name is Judah Jeremy and I was born about 42 hours ago.
Mom said I beat her up pretty badly, but she [...]
Tuesday Roundup
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008+ Firefighting. Web host drama torched the 20/20 website last week, so we’ve been rebuilding it this week. We have recaptured about 50% of the content so far, and should be near full strength by the end of the week. Among the improvements are direct links to helpful school adoption resources at [...]
Monday Musings
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Baby is now officially overdue. After hearing for months that our son could come “any day,” plus Diana having to endure bed rest since Labor Day, contractions almost daily since the end of September, and a 12-hour contraction spell that included two hours in the hospital two weeks ago, it’s been an emotional roller [...]

Let’s call them technical difficulties
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008Sorry for being a blog slacker recently. A brief family update might offer an explanation (and a not so small prayer request).
My wife’s pregnant. No news there. But she’s been on bed rest since Labor Day. After a brief excursion out of the house for a wedding in September, the doctor [...]

A Glimpse of Forever
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008Last week, Judah had a crisis of faith.
Tuesday or Wednesday night, he jumped out of bed hysterical, tormented by the thought of forever. Worse, he was struggling to understand how being anywhere “forever,” even heaven, could be viewed as anything less than a trap, or a prison. “What if I want to go [...]

Monday, June 30th, 2008Two years ago today, Abuelo arrived at the Cattle Finca in the sky. Here he is with toddler Judah and la vaca India at Uncle Dave’s backyard in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, about five years ago.

On the Road with my Traveling Companion

3) Abuelo passed away.
Judah and I return today for the Council of Korean Baptist Churches of New York’s Challenge 2008 joint youth retreat.
Their theme for the weekend is [...]

Caleb’s Promise and a Dilemma for 24 Million Children
Sunday, June 15th, 2008Good friends Jose and Mayra Humphreys invited me to preach this morning at Metro Hope Church in Harlem. When I accepted the invitation, the significance of the Sunday — Father’s Day — had escaped me. Then this week it all came together. This was my first opportunity to turn this article into [...]

June 7, 2008
Big Brown fizzled as the rest of us sizzled in 95+ degrees. Uncle Jon, Titi Elsa, Judah, Tommy and I braved the heat, the crowds (100,000 strong), and 2+ hours traffic to sit on grass and watch the backs of people’s heads while Triple Crown uber-favorite Big Brown placed last [...]
