Stellar’s doing better, thanks so much for all the prayers.
A few reflections on the whole experience
There were periods Stellar would be breathing so rapidly I wondered how her little heart could keep up, and other times when her breath was so shallow we weren’t sure if she was breathing at all. Nothing much [...]

This angel full of life, is so far from it right now.
She’s battling bronchitus/pneumonia and a really high fever right now.
Your prayers would be appreciated.

This past year was interesting year in blogging for me.
After blogging on and off for several years, I really picked things up in 2007.  voxtropolis was a great launching pad for me, and moving over to solarcrash.com midway last year was a learning experience as well.
After 222 posts in 2007, some reasons I continue to [...]

Our babysitter had to push back her commitment to us till January, so I’m hanging full-time with my daughter till then while Yvz has returned to work.
I can’t quite imagine having a more blessed life. It’s been a week of seeing Stellar try new foods and take further steps in life. I’ve been [...]

Yesterday I had a coffee catching up with my friend Alan (who’s also a young married adult with a master’s degree from seminary)
Where some people struggle with not having enough in life and the injustice of it all, Alan and I struggle with feeling of being unbelievably blessed and the weight of expectations that seem [...]

Interesting conversation with a friend of mine last week.
Often we find ourselves sharing about how we’re absolutely loving where we are in life and the things that we’re involved with.  However, this time I guess I was whining a bit about how I had to preach this past sunday, and then had to preach again [...]

How Awesome is He who created everything I see!
Such beauty, and wonder, such majesty!
I look at my daughter, and see the marks of His kiss,
I look at my hands, are these fingerprints mine or are they His?

I’ve been shaving my head about once a year for the past few years. I’m too cheap to pay for a hair cut and don’t quite know how to cut my own hair, so I just shave it all right off.
My wife has told me in the past that I look good with the [...]

For our date night this week we hit cirque du soleil, Kooza. Only way we were able to afford it was through a big discount they were offering for students and teachers, which worked out just right for us.
It’s absolutely phenomenal what the human body is capable of.
My favorite parts of the night were [...]
