http://untillblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/notes-on-second-vii-horrible-horrible.html
So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Notes on the Second - VII. Horrible, Horrible Thoughts. Is ripped out of the chests of parents and communities, irreplaceable. In my own experience, baby's complete dependence and vulnerability make the horrible thoughts so pressing, because in many cases, I'm the one responsible.

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Friday, February 13, 2015. Notes on the Second - V. Chunk. Fat, but it's enough chunk for me to get a little queasy-cringy every time someone breaks out the photo album. Moving to Germany and regular exercise, among other thing, has kept me reasonably fit sense, and I want to keep it that way. This time around I'm determined to avoid the chunk. Effect on my waste line. Notes on the Second. Notes on the Seco...

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. See You Soon, Dr. Willard. This all changed when I read The Divine Conspiracy. Because of Jesus, God and his own Kingdom, where his will is done, where Love is the law, is something near, if only we repent and belief this Good News. That's how Dallas Willard presented the Kingdom of God, and that's how Dallas Willard presented our Lord's opus, the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on ...

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Monday, January 27, 2014. Professor Walter Krämer, his German Language Society, and "the Majority of Germans" are "annoyed" with Denglisch. The superfluous use of English junk,"which they see as "contempt for their language." Some Denglisch is worse than others, though, according to the professor. We have a problem with words such as event, highlight, shooting star, outfit. App that clearly delineates the a...

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Loving Language in a Time of Commerce (or Happy National Grammar Day). This is thrilling, of course. There's communication! People who once may have never understood each other understand each other now! Then, there's foreign languages. Over half of my MBA courses are in English (yippee! Meanwhile, should you catch me in grammatical error, your welcome to point it out. March 5, 201...

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Notes on the Second - VI. The First. Her new little sister has been thrust upon all of these things, and there's a strange paradox here. On one hand, she's old enough to be aware of what's going on, to know how to behave around her (gentle! We get some nice reminders.

So we laughed and joked and poured out the wine but challenged their minds and souls." - Vanauken. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. So, after the Christmas Eve lessons and carols, we feasted.

But Russian meat pies (my parents' Russian neighbor was still in Florida), my mom's ham biscuits, my wife's salad: I feasted and I was full. Too full, perhaps, but it was hard not to be.

This initiated my present naming situation: to my family, at least the family I grew up with, I was and am Jonathan. To most of my friends, Jon,. Joy" was on our shortlist...
