subtle revolution

"There are two kinds of revolutionists, as of most things- a good kind and a bad. The bad revolutionists destroy conventions by appealing to fads- fashions that are newer than conventions. The good do it by appealing to facts that are older than conventions." (G.K. Chesterton)

my buddy




Here he is world... this is my little pal MacGreggor.


He's a 10 week old West Highland White Terrier (Westie).


Mac is a pretty cool buddy to have around the house.

But I must admit that I look forward to the day when he is housebroken.

an uncle again

My sister gave birth to her second daughter this morning. Congratulations Stephanie, Brian & Paige! Paige is a big sister now- she has been getting excited about the new baby. I think she's going to be great.

I'm excited because this is my fourth niece. I love all my girls. I can't get enough of them- and it drives me bonkers that I'm so far from them during these formidable years.

But I'm going to get to see them all soon enough. I'll be making a special trip up to see my new niece and her family sometime this week. Then, I'll make another trip up when we celebrate all of the March birthdays for our family. Writing that reminds me... my niece was born on my sister's birthday! Happy Birthday Steph! How could I ever top that gift?



So... here's the vital statistics: Addyson Brooke Edwards was born at 8:35 (?) AM on March 10, 2007. She is 7lbs. 2 oz. and she is 18 3/4" long.



Welcome to our world Addyson! We've been waiting and praying for you!



I guarantee I will be posting pictures when I see her. check back soon!

I have just returned home from viewing the film "Amazing Grace." The story of William Wilberforce and his tireless efforts for the abolition of the slave trade in the British Empire is long overdue for recognition by the general American populous. The film was well done and powerful in its rendering of this great tale. I highly recommend seeing this movie.

It is a resounding reminder that we must never underestimate a persistent lone voice when it sounds forth with the truth of God and echoes in the choir of the heavens.
