Blazer's Blog: Mentoring Profile #7: James Norwood Blazer Senior
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2010/05/mentoring-profile-7-james-norwood.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Mentoring Profile #7: James Norwood Blazer Senior. My grandpa was a WW2 Co-Pilot in a bomber (Claims Hitler gave up after he heard Jim Blazer had shown up), a salesman (mostly to industrial plumbing companies), played the stand up bass his whole life, had four children, and refinished furniture in his spare time. This is his flight school picture. Do I have a choice? He died in 2008. The nice suit I own I bought for his funeral. He would have been proud in a straightforward...Hey M...

Blazer's Blog: Mentor Profile #2: Dale and Dave
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2010/05/mentor-profile-2-dale-and-dave.html
Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Mentor Profile #2: Dale and Dave. Since I tackled a huge one with number 1, I thought I would do an easier mentoring moment I had a few years ago for the second post. They seemed to figure out that I did not understand these things - either instinctively or through previous mentoring. It was a good, light lesson - on being a man, taking care of one's yard, listening to older men, and general neighborliness. Posted by Matt Blazer. I am loving this topic and loving these stories!

Blazer's Blog: Mentoring Profile #5: The Marvel Universe
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2010/05/mentoring-profile-5-marvel-universe.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Mentoring Profile #5: The Marvel Universe. So, the reason I haven't written in awhile is that I cannot decide what next to write about (or who). My main thoughts were another author: John Eldredge or Brennan Manning; possibly John Piper, but it was really just his way of thinking "by enjoying Him forever" from the Shorter Catechism. Second Main thought (really the first) was. BA ba ba ba: The Marvel Universe. And, as a man, there was a pleasant amount of violence, speed, movement - ...

Blazer's Blog: February 2010
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. But Rachel says the 90 is for how many days. So: B1Y is my workout; sounds more like a disease. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed my kids a lot today - they are beautiful and funny and weird. I sat at the landing of the stairs on the way to the playroom before bed, they threw things at me, I threw them back. It was all pretty fun until Julia threw a stroller. Seriously. No one was injured, but seriously? Then ask, "I just wonder what you thought of it and if you thought it was realistic?

Blazer's Blog: November 2009
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. That link was NOT my blog. hilarious. i don't think i have much in common with that person. Monday, November 16, 2009. Our family had dinner with a number of friends on Saturday Night and we all spent some time talking about what we were thankful for. I thought my wife had the most interesting/unique thought: she is thankful for St. Louis. She had a number of reasons, and even has her own blog. Maybe that should be her next writing topic. PS - I fixed the link. The point of th...

Blazer's Blog: September 2009
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 14, 2009. Rachel spent Saturday painting the house. This meant two things: One, I was with the girls all day (awesome) and two we needed to not be in the house in case there was a showing (sometimes awesome). So, we went to the zoo. There were highlights: we waited five minutes on the Black Rhino and he then came out. There were lowlights: we missed the Cheetah running by 13 seconds (twice). Is it because we let her watch Kill Bill so many times? Posted by Matt Blazer. I am feeling grea...

Blazer's Blog: Mentor Profile #3: Andre Dubus
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2010/05/mentor-profile-3-andre-dubus.html
Wednesday, May 05, 2010. Mentor Profile #3: Andre Dubus. When I moved to St. Louis I was tired of trying to improve myself through books, trying to assimilate so much Christian information, etc. that I took a break from reading Christian books. During this time I picked up a book an ex-girlfriend had given me called, "Meditations from a Movable Chair". It is a book of essays by Andre Dubus. I have since purchased every book of his I could find. Posted by Matt Blazer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Did I mention that I moved my blog to Word Press? Posted by Matt Blazer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Well, this used to be a "random-thoughts blog". For this season, it is primarily a way for my family to keep our extended family (you) up to date on our story. Robbie The Laddie Griggs. My Deviant Art Friend.

Blazer's Blog: Mentoring Profile #6: Donald Toomey
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2010/05/mentoring-profile-6-donald-toomey.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. Mentoring Profile #6: Donald Toomey. Dr Donald Toomey is my mom's dad. He is not her biological father, and I don't know when I learned that but it never made any different - he was always Grandpa, her dad, etc. I got to go to their 50th Wedding Anniversary in 2001, where my Grandma could not stop talking about the kiss "he planted on me" on Friday night. Grandpa had a PHD in Geology (Grandma drew the pictures - meticulously) for his thesis. He was a learned man, and spent his r...

Blazer's Blog: July 2009
http://mattblazer.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. It is 8:38 as I write this blog. I am drinking my second cup of coffee, my girls are watching "Sleeping Beauty" and eating cereal with me (and eating gummy vitamins and drinking juice). If my head wasn't cold I think I would feel the same as I did in the Spring. I owe a lot of people phone calls. I think Tom tops the list. I have to finish a class during this family time. But, I finished a longer systematic theology class during Chemo - surely that was harder! Today Rachel (Matt...
