Monday, December 26th, 2005First the bad news: Judah was sick for the fourth straight Christmas (he’s only been alive for five of them!), this time with an inner ear infection that caused short-term hearing loss in his right ear, AND a stomach virus. Now the good news: Judah’s always been a “great sick,” so we still had fun. [...]

Judah, Meet Jesus: Reflections on Child-Like Faith
Thursday, December 22nd, 2005[Below is my January column for the Tri-State Voice, syndicated in Next Wave, Youth Ministry Exchange] I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. – Jesus, to his disciples (Matthew 18:3, NIV)”Why didn’t we help him?” As Judah’s confused yet compassionate eyes [...]
Not too late to make wishes Christmas reality
Tuesday, December 20th, 2005(Picture by Michael Mowery) Judah and Daddy, last Thursday at Abounding Grace’s Christmas pageant, “The Verdict.” It’s not too late to make Judah’s Wish List a Christmas reality. posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 12/20/2005 08:40:00 PM
Judah’s convinced, they’re the best movies ever!
Sunday, December 18th, 2005Judah watched the original two Stars Wars movies this weekend for the first time. He’s an avid collector of Star Wars cards and has a growing collection of the action figures, so I figured it was time to introduce him to the movies. We saw part 1 last night and part 2 today. He’s hooked. [...]
He melts me
Sunday, December 11th, 2005Judah suffered a 4-year old meltdown at church this morning when he got nervous singing with the other children at their Christmas presentation. After the service, he looked at me tenderly in the eyes and said: “Dad, thanks for helping me try to sing this morning. You’re a little tough, but you’re still the best [...]
Why Santa should give Judah everything on his Wish List
Friday, December 9th, 2005Today was Judah’s first snow day from school, so I took him sledding. Afterwards I thanked him for a great time and for being my son. His response: “Well, I didn’t decide to be your son. God made me your son. So I can’t say, ‘You’re welcome.’ God should say, ‘You’re welcome.’”Well said, Einstein. Check [...]
Judah created a Christmas Wish List
Tuesday, December 6th, 2005… for “Santa,” only it’s online at Amazon, for those who care. (Remember, his 5th birthday is January 2nd as well!) It’s kind of scattered, and by no means exhaustive, but it’s a good flavor for what he wants this year. posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 12/06/2005 08:52:00 PM 2 commentsebony boobshuge buttsteens flashingfuck [...]
Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving
Monday, November 28th, 2005Some reflections on the holiday, which Diana and I were privileged to host at our place this year: – George Washington proclaimed the first national day of Thanksgiving back in 1789, to offer “sincere and humble thanks” to God for his provision and protection, and also to repent of “national and other transgressions.” I wonder [...]
He’s an artist now too
Saturday, November 12th, 2005On Thursday in school, Judah drew a portrait of his dad preaching. Click thumbnail for larger image or here for the full page, with instructions. Note the details: the podium, with a cross; the tie “with a t-shirt,” he said; the round belly; and the goatee and shaggy hair. He’s still only four! posted by [...]
