The Dake Diaries: July 2014

http://thedptchronicles.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 31, 2014. We didn't do much for Father's Day. Aiden had been suuuuuuuuper. Fussy the day before. I'm talking wanting to eat every hour, crying non-stop for 30 minutes after and then sleeping for 30 minutes. Rinse and repeat from 2pm to 7pm. We all wanted to cry by the end of it. Needless to say, we weren't in the mood nor did we have the energy to do anything exciting. Aiden gave Daddy a Star Wars shirt and wore a cute onesie in honor of the occasion. Thursday, July 31, 2014. We are suppos...

The Dake Diaries: November 2014

http://thedptchronicles.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 2, 2014. This little guy just keeps on growing! He's already 4 months old! Aiden has recently discovered his feet, "talks" and drools up a storm, puts everything. He touches into his mouth, and is SO close to rolling over from his back to his tummy! Here we are at his 4 month appointment (before the shots). He did great and the doctor says everything is right on track. Please note that our little piggie has jumped about 30% in the weight category! Here are his 4 months stats:. Jeff said ...

The Dake Diaries: September 2014

http://thedptchronicles.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Saturday, September 20, 2014. At the end of July we took Aiden on his first roadtrip to Thousand Oaks to meet his great grandparents on my side of the family. Mommy packed up the car and dropped off Holly and Luna at the kennel all by herself, before picking up Daddy from work on our way down south. Not an easy task considering it was 100 degrees outside and someone decided he didn't need to take a nap all day! Aiden got to meet all 3 of his Great Grandparents on my side, Gam and Papa and Oma. What a fun...

The Dake Diaries: April 2012

http://thedptchronicles.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 7, 2012. I'm trying to get my pictures organized after realizing I hadn't uploaded any pictures since the honeymoon. Oops. So here are the "before" pictures from the house. These were taken by my mom from a visit before. We moved in, before. We had the house cleaned, before. We even knew the house was ours. If you want to enlarge the pictures, please click on them.

cgsayler: August 2010

http://cgsayler.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Ramblings about life and theology. Monday, August 23, 2010. I wanted to post this so that I have access to it in the future when our wedding site is down. It's mostly from Susan's perspective. It happened July 5, 2010. We were planning on getting engaged but I (Susan) had thought that it would have taken longer for the ring to arrive in the mail than it did. All day I was thinking, "Is he going to propose? He doesn't have the ring yet.". After the Mate Factor, we went for a hike at Garden of the Gods Par...

cgsayler: April 2009

http://cgsayler.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Ramblings about life and theology. Friday, April 24, 2009. Repetitive, loveless, cheap sex. This isn't the first time I have warned you, you know. If you use your freedom this way, you will not inherit God's kingdom. But what happens when we live God's way? I could go off on a long post about this passage - every section has something powerful and important in it. However, most people don't read long posts, so instead, I'd love to hear any comments that you guys might have about the Message's transla...

cgsayler: December 2009

http://cgsayler.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Ramblings about life and theology. Friday, December 11, 2009. I just ran across a fascinating article. That I'd love to hear anyone's opinion on. It's written from a business management perspective, but I think the ideas could be applied to Christianity as well. Also, it assumes that reason alone is not enough, something that strongly echoes Jean-Francois Lyotard, an early postmodern philosopher. Sunday, December 6, 2009. On the afterlife. Or is that missing the point? He says that in medieval plays, the...

cgsayler: Thoughts on Homelessness

http://cgsayler.blogspot.com/2009/10/thoughts-on-homelessness.html

Ramblings about life and theology. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Sunday evening, a few of us from! Luke's Thing watched The Soloist. Stacia brought the movie up during our group earlier in the day, and we then spent a decent bit of time discussing homelessness. After a couple months of doing that on and off, we kind of stopped going on Saturdays and our group morphed/merged into Luke's Thing (now! But that type of thinking isn't most natural to me. Relationship is difficult and time consuming and has ...

cgsayler: Religion as a factor in development in Asia versus Africa

http://cgsayler.blogspot.com/2010/05/religion-as-factor-in-development-in.html

Ramblings about life and theology. Monday, May 24, 2010. Religion as a factor in development in Asia versus Africa. Look at Asia and then look at Africa. Two continents, both with massive infusion of aid from Western nations since WWII, both with booming populations, and yet for some reason Asia has become a world player in economics, trade, finance, politics, etc, while Africa has few countries that can claim to be a leader in (or have much of any concept of) any of these areas. Why? In contrast, look a...
