Joshua & Perthes Disease
Thanks 4 all the pryrs. Even before we went to the Dr. we felt God saying, “This is what Joshua needs, physically, emotionally & spiritually”. So now we begin the 2 year process of fighting Perthes. It will include surgery, 2 leg casts & intense physical therapy. Romans 5:3-5 is becoming a reality in our lives!

Pia Desideria IV
“[Faith] does not ask whether there are good works to do, but before the question rises it has already done them and is always at the doing of them.”. Martin Luther as quoted by Philip Jacob Spener.

Pia Desideria III
“I have no doubt that we would soon have an altogether different church if most of us ministers were of such a sort that we could unblushingly say to our congregations with Paul, “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ” (1 Cor. 11:1)”. Philip Jacob Spener
Pia Desideria II
“Just as you know, when you see a tree whose leaves are faded and withering, that there is something wrong with the roots, so, when you see that the people are undisciplined, you must realize that no doubt their priests are not holy”. Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of St. Matthew, as quoted by Spener in Pia Desideria
Pia Desideria
Loving this book right now!
“If God does not give you the pleasure of seeing the result of your work quickly, perhaps He intends to hide it from you, lest you become too proud of it”. Philip Jacob Spener in Pia Desideria, 1675

Mesopotamia
As part of the M.Div. program @ APU I’m taking a class called “People of God”. Currently we’re studying the Ancient Mesopotamian Culture. As part of our study we were asked to search the web for photos and information about Mesopotamia. I’ve decided to post the links here for easier access… Enjoy!

Flash or Function
Life is crazy… Family, School, Church, etc. At some point you have to ask yourself, what has priority in my life? There are plenty of good things to be done… Things that would appear to please God. So how do you choose which is worthy of your time?
Here’s how I addressed this issue in our study in the book of John @ SN@V. Check it out…

Life is busy…
My wife and I celebrated our 11th anniversary in San Diego a couple of weeks ago. Some friends of ours had some extra time share points that they let us use. It was pretty sweet! We chose San Diego because 1. we love it & 2. it had free babysitting! Gotta love grandmas!
Grammy Jan stayed with the boys here in Temecula and Gramma Lynn watched Asher pretty much every minute that she could. Here’s what we did…
Went to Flemings
Went to Belmont Park
Rode the Wave House
Went to Gio’s
Laid around and watched T.V.
Went to the mall
Went to a Beni Hana type restaurant
Went to the pool
And then the boys came down and we did it all again!
A big thanks to the parents for watching the boys and hooking us up with gift cards & cash for the week!
