http://josiahs-journey.blogspot.com/2007/02/please-pray.html
A dad's journal of a son's journey . and all that came after. Saturday, February 17, 2007. The baby was 35 weeks which of course concerned us a little, but we knew that minor complications with 'pre-mies' were normal and that this boy or girl would be a good weight. Marie's labour went fast! Marie did a fantastic job through the labour and delivery (and really grew fond of the gas! It took her around 6 contractions to bring our little boy into the world. Josiah also has some other markers which the docto...

Josiah's Journey: Our Story
http://josiahs-journey.blogspot.com/p/our-story.html
A dad's journal of a son's journey . and all that came after. Our story. Well, that's still ongoing isn't it? I'd like to be able to find the time to give visitors here a worthy sketch of our family's journey, but that isn't easy even on the best of days. Maybe I'll never get around to writing a decent overview of who we are, where we've been, and how God's been our companion on the journey. Hopefully our infrequent blog posts will provide enough snapshots into the story of our lives.

Josiah's Journey: 899 Days
http://josiahs-journey.blogspot.com/2012/01/899-days.html
A dad's journal of a son's journey . and all that came after. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Today marks a sobering milestone. The number of days since Josiah died is the same number of days he lived.

I don't know what to make of it. It's something to be aware of, to pause for, but then what? Yet The opposite is also true.

Josiah's Journey: Scripture
http://josiahs-journey.blogspot.com/p/scripture.html
A dad's journal of a son's journey . and all that came after. Gratefully, God and the writers of Scripture don't shy away from the difficult subject of death and mourning. If he [God] snatches someone in death, who can stop him? Who dares to ask, "What are you doing? My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow. Psalm 10:1, 14. Why, O LORD, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? Seventy years are given to us! Cclesiastes 3:1, 4. However many years a man m...

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.
