Potentially Irrelevant: November 2011
http://apegpie.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
My irreverent and potentially irrelevant thoughts trying to work themselves out. On being Chinese American. We're trying to raise Isaac bilingual. When my family first immigrated to the US in 1984, my parents made the decision of speaking only Chinese at home. They valued us keeping our language, knowing that our ability to speak would keep open the access to family and culture. I've been doing something weird though. I knew I was doing it but I didn't stop to think about why I was doing it. If I don't I...

Monthly Archives: October 2009. October 24, 2009. The following is a family update/support letter that we sent out to some family and friends. We didn’t send it to everyone we know and thought it might be a good idea to post it here on the off chance someone might read it that does not know our plans. With that said, here you go…). Hello Friends and Family! We are so excited to write this letter to give a quick update on the Davis family! As most of you probably know, Gia and I have been yearning and pla...

https://briandavis.wordpress.com/2010/04
Monthly Archives: April 2010. April 6, 2010. What an enviable position my daughter is in. She has no comprehension about death in this world. She is ignorant to her own mortality. I immediately thought back to the story of creation and the first sin thinking that Adam and Eve were in the same position as my daughter; ignorant of death. But then remembered the instructions were clear:. If you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will die. The Easter Bunny came? There is no body there. Your friend lies in th...

Monthly Archives: August 2012. I Support Non-Traditional Families. August 2, 2012. Dan Cathy’s comments in support of the biblical definition of the family unit have me thinking about what exactly IS the biblical definition of a family unit. Cathy says he believes part of the definition of a traditional family unit is marriage between one man and one woman for life. I don’t disagree with this assertion but am wondering how Jesus defines family unit, if we are going to phrase it in those terms. The Good N...

https://briandavis.wordpress.com/2011/09
Monthly Archives: September 2011. A few thoughts on (the beginning of) genesis. September 24, 2011. 8211; I’ve always thought the instruction to Adam and Eve was clear: “Don’t eat the fruit.” But the instruction wasn’t just to refrain from eating… “nor shall you TOUCH it.” Why even flirt with sin? It seems like I go up to the tree a lot, looking at the fruit, marveling at it even… sometimes even picking it. First, is it even possible to not eat when you pick the fruit? Bella on la jolla beach.

UPDATE: bella’s experience with dr. edward dove →. Bella’s experience with dr. edward dove. April 20, 2012. What’s that going to help? Then looked at my mom and said,. 8220;she’ll be right back. In a demeaning tone — as if i was a complete moron to want to comfort my daughter. When the job was complete, dr. dove comes into the waiting room. i don’t really even look at him and try to make it past — but again he stops me, and says,. Your daughter has quite the forceful personality. When i got in the room,.

The Good News of Gods Immutability | the davis trio
https://briandavis.wordpress.com/2013/11/28/the-good-news-of-gods-immutability
I Support Non-Traditional Families. The Good News of Gods Immutability. November 28, 2013. 8220;I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 8211; Malachi 3:6. Lofty words and expressions we ascribe to God can easily get lost on me. Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, transcendent, immanent, majestic. That led me to think about the ‘immutability’ of God; or God’s unchanging nature. The mountains and the earth will perish, but you remain the same,. How often do we think ...

Potentially Irrelevant: April 2013
http://apegpie.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
My irreverent and potentially irrelevant thoughts trying to work themselves out. Hope vs. Expectations. Lately I've been feeling more irate and it's been difficult not to be short with people. It's not a pretty sight - my words more cutting, my tone obviously annoyed, and my sighs of impatience loud and clear. Maybe it's because of busyness and maybe it's because the anniversary of my dad's death is coming up, but I know I don't like this "me.". In the progression of suffering to perseverance to characte...
