Founder’s Ministry 2007 Conference Thoughts

I do not have much time to write this blog so I will give my best effort in a time crunch.  Mike Thompson, Michael Anthis and myself (Dirk) went to the Founders Conference this past week.  We heard many excellent talks by Tom Ascol, Bill Ascol, David Wells,  Raymond Perron, and Roy Hargrave.  We had to [...]

Founders Conference

Mike Thompson, Michael Anthis and myself (Dirk) are here in Owasso, OK (who knew Tulsa had suburbs?) at the 25th annual Founders Conference.  David Wells is the key note speaker and there have been several other very good speakers thus far.  I recommend that you go to the PyroManiacs or Timmy Brister websites to check out [...]

Another Learning Opportunity

I have decided to periodically post on educational opportunities that you can take from the comfort of your home.  I earlier posted on Biblical Training.org and now on to Covenant Theological Seminary.  Covenant is one of the  Presbyterian Church of America’s (PCA) seminaries.  Let me forewarn you that I don’t agree with some of the [...]

Updates

Dirk and I finally got around to picking up some vital gluten at the store and made another loaf of bread in the machine. It didnt turn out the way we hoped:

Bread Woes…

One day at my parents’ house, Dirk and I noticed their old breadmaker sitting tucked away in a cabinet. Since they weren’t using it, we asked to borrow it and make some fresh bread. Since we are both trying to be healthier we bought whole wheat flour. Apparently whole wheat flour is heavier and makes [...]

Josiah Videos

This is mostly for the grandparents. You know who you are.
These videos were all filmed today, so this is the latest of Josiah–can you believe he’s already 11 weeks old? Crazy.
The first and second videos were shot before church this morning. Dirk had the idea to put Josiah in his bumbo seat(thanks Robin [...]

Jeter On Education

No not Derek Jeter, Jeremiah Jeter!  Jeremiah Jeter (1802-1880) was a founding member of the SBC and the first president of the Foreign Mission Board (now the IMB).  I was given a copy of The Baptist Banner by Eral Sutton today that has a portion of Jeter’s sermon entitled “The Obligations of Baptists to Their [...]

Evan Almighty

I have to admit, I’ve seen Bruce Almighty. I laughed at it too. Dirk even received it for Christmas one year from a coworker who probably thought it was an appropriate gift for a Christian. This article by Tim Challies makes several great points about the film, and its upcoming sequel Evan Almighty. I heartily [...]

Tim Challies

After my long run (ha!) today Kathy and I were talking and she mentioned that we need to add Tim Challies blog to our blogroll, so I did.  Let me tell you a little about this guy.  He is a Canadian, yes the country not the small Texas town, don’t hold that against him.  Tim [...]

Date Night and a Singing Zoologist

I think it was more of a dare than anything else, but Dirk asked me the other day when I would be up for leaving Josiah for a night. I took the bait and we called my parents right then to see if they would watch Josiah. I’m pretty sure they were ok with the [...]
