My Quixotic Quest: Replace “Multi-tasking” with “Mothering”

When computer-lingo “multi-tasking” made it into the common vocabulary to refer to the activity of doing a plurality of tasks simultaneously, mothers around the industrialized world raised an eyebrow and tossed out an ironic “Is that what they’re calling it now?”–while packing up the kids’ lunch and soothing the baby on a bouncing hip .

For Proverbs 31 See My Wife

[Note: I clearly created a misunderstanding. Anna is not pregnant again. I've re-written the post. Geez. Can I screw up or what?!]
My wife. God love her. What an amazing woman. Get ready to hate her.

“Not of This World”: A Review

[Note: I have, since 2002, read Blessed Hieromonk Seraphim's biography each year. Beginning sometime in the autumn, in September or October, I read a chapter or two most everyday. In 2002, my first exposure to Fr. Seraphim was through the first edition of his biography, authored by Hieromonk Damascene Christenson, Not of [...]

Breakfast Time is Daddy-Daughters Time!
I’ve always loved breakfast. To the best of my knowledge, as a kid I never missed one. At our home, breakfast was good stuff. None of that sugary, chocolate-covered, rainbow-flavored crap. We’re talkin’ real, honest to goodness breakfast, just like God ordained in creation. Mom or [...]

Good Frolicking Fun in the Fields of Logic

Over on the Grace-Centered Message boards I frequently visit, there’s been a thread initiated by some anti-fundamentalists over age of earth issues, specifically a critique of young earth creationism.
