I won't say I'm sorry for not posting, but you know I am. Plenty of stuff going on, but not much to speak of here. We had a great New Year's Eve with my family and some friends, and have been trying to get back into the swing of things after the Holidays (it's not a bad word).

I have been working on a new garden plot on the south side of our house, and the children have been very diligent in eating the dirt while I do so. My father and I have ordered our seeds and are ready to put them into the ground. This will only be my third planting and my dad's second (of late, he was once a renownedgardener), but we have expanded our horizons exponentially. My father had/still has a great harvest of lettuce and beans that seem to never end.

I finished "Defense of the Faith" by Cornelius Van Til. I got about half of what he said, and that was great. I also order B.B. Warfield's Collected Works, and am looking forward to reading through that material.

I am trying to get back into my previous (6 months ago) schedule of waking up early to read, etc. so I am very tired while I wait for my body and mind to readjust.

My feet are planted pretty firmly where I am right now, but it is hard to keep my mind from wandering off into other lands.

My oldest son Asher turned two last week. I am so proud of my boy, he has a very tender heart and makes me so happy. For his birthday I made him some blocks and bought him 17 Hardy Boys books for when he is older. He got lots of toys from family, so don't worry. I also got him (a joint-gift) a set of the McGuffey Readers as well (thanks Chad).

In other news, I finally got an iPod (I tried for a year to get a free one) so I am working through the hundreds of sermons that I have downloaded during the past year...OVERLOAD.

Remember to walk in the Spirit.
 

Comments:
Well, it's good to hear you finally got an iPod. And the one you got is probably far superior to the free one you would have gotten. If that makes you feel better. :)

About gardening... Oh, wait. I was going to ask you if now is the time to plant. But then I remembered you live in FL, so anytime is probably a good time 'round there.

I'm considering creating a little plot in our back yard. A small one. Maybe have some tomatoes and lettuces or something. Maybe a few pepper plants.

I also looked through your pictures you linked on my blog. Cute kids. Thanks for sharing that. :)

My Thoughts on Prayer
Our Father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
