https://dailysacrifice.wordpress.com/2012/02

Insights from my kids, my wife, my life and Jesus. We have finally recovered from a few days of stomach flu. It is never very fun for any family to deal with illness, but I think the challenges only become magnified when your family is larger. Add in the unique nature of leaving in relative isolation and it only gets worse. Tree rings…not as good as onion rings. This lurks in our woods. When I was growing up, the idea of logging and even cutting trees was pretty dramatic. All I can remember is watchi...

Going for supplies | daily.sacrifice.2.0

https://dailysacrifice.wordpress.com/2012/01/17/going-for-supplies

Insights from my kids, my wife, my life and Jesus. If there is one thing that I took for granted living in a more urban area, it was going grocery shopping. I remember when I was growing up and I would ride my bike to the grocery store just for something to do. Now, going to the grocery store is a much more complex situation. As we started to plan the itinerary (paging Mr. Clooney to the set), we realized that our best bet was to eat a large lunch, then make the voyage. That would buy us enough t...As we...

Finding Home…again. | daily.sacrifice.2.0

https://dailysacrifice.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/finding-homeagain

Insights from my kids, my wife, my life and Jesus. Whenever I have moved to a new location, there are a few landmarks that need to be ironed out before comfort can be found. Once I know where to get groceries, go running, find people, and go to church, I’m pretty well set. Well, we have now been in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin for about 3 years and we had found all but a church as of about a year ago. So we went back to our original church. And it was home. Again. It’s amazing how familiar and c...

Insights from my kids, my wife, my life and Jesus. When it is too cold to ice skate and sled, it is still warm enough for ballet. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

https://dailysacrifice.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/when-the-camp-family-goes-camping-intro-the-crows-song

Insights from my kids, my wife, my life and Jesus. When the camp family goes camping – intro and the crow’s song. Nothing draws a family together like doing dishes…except maybe every other activity known to man. When the camp family goes camping. We survived. I wish I was being clever and melodramatic, but the best way I can summarize a family camping trip for 3 nights with 4 young kids is simply that. We survived. Part 1: the crow’s song. One of the best parts of going camping is setting up camp. It...

On diversity… | daily.sacrifice.2.0

https://dailysacrifice.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/on-diversity

Insights from my kids, my wife, my life and Jesus. Context: A group of 40 people were at camp this weekend from a church in the Milwaukee area. This is the conversation I had today before breakfast with the pastor’s wife, Linda. These moments in the dining hall before anyone else arrives tend to be amazing.]. Good morning. How are you? I’m good. Just struggling to get this fire going. You and your husband just came in last night, right? Oh, we enjoy it. How big is your church? It wasn’t always this...

Tall Blondes: Change in weather

http://thekatbird.blogspot.com/2007/01/change-in-weather.html

Thursday, January 18, 2007. Amazing how the weather has gone from 75 to 30 in a matter of two days. I was in shorts and a t-shirt and now I'm in a huge puffy coat with as much clothing on as I can get! And I'm still cold! It actually snowed here overnight and throughout the day! We couldn't believe it. It hasn't snowed here in like five years! I got a taste of what's going on in CO! Andyou know that 24-hour virus they're talking about on the news that's similar to the flu? Wednesdays Menu for dinner:.

Love Thy Neighbor | daily.sacrifice.2.0

https://dailysacrifice.wordpress.com/2012/01/24/love-thy-neighbor

Insights from my kids, my wife, my life and Jesus. When I was growing up, the concept of neighborhood came easy. My best friend lived next door and all the houses around us were families we knew and cared about. If someone needed something, neighbors were eager to help. Now that I live in relative isolation, I realize I probably took that sense of community for granted. We have neighbors here, but to visit almost any of them, it would take more than a simple walk to get to their house. I confronted him o...
