My Son Spoke to God Last Night

The telephone rang as I stood in the dark about to climb into bed - interrupting my bedtime routine that includes a talk with God most of the time.
My estranged wife wanted me to come get the children. She was helping her roommate pack to move him out of the townhouse where they lived. She [...]

My daughter and I enjoy her seventh birthday together. Guess where?

A Fourth folio

The Fourth of July serves up photographers plenty of photo pops.
I hope to be out there with them clicking away with my several-times-dropped digital Nikon camera.
To that end, I’m posting a link to Supernovamom’s blog entry that has a few locations around Northern Virginia where you can photograph fireworks.

Meanwhile, I’m going to go listen to [...]

Darryl writes - and he’s a father!

My friend from high school has become an anglican priest, or vicar.
That makes him a father.
We’re catching up because it’s been 25 years or so and we’ve stuffed a lot into our heads and done many strange things.
My favorite post of his so far is here:

Read that and then click on this link - or not: [...]

Paid blogging

My entries here have slowed due to schedule changes with children and pondering where to go with my writing - specifically how to get paid for blogging.
This all comes at the same time I’m wondering and learning what God wants from me and what He might have me write.
What follows is what I’ve come up [...]

Thanks Be to God

I’d like to thank everyone who puts up with my comments at their blogs, my friends, employer and God for all the blessings they send my way.
 
So I will.
 
Thanks, all you bloggers over there at the blogroll to the left.
 
Thanks Jim http://lordibelievehelpmyunbelief.blogspot.com/ and Marcus http://www.goodwordediting.com/ for your common sense, wisdom and responding to e-mails sent through other [...]

Testing Technorati

I’m testing technorati by inserting code here.
<a href=”http://technorati.com/claim/4shxr97j3a” rel=”me”>Technorati Profile</a>
So let’s see if this works.
This is important because I’m trying to figure out how to get everyone on the internet to read the posts I’m writing at Associated Content and Blogcritics.org. Both sites have assured me I’ll make lots of money.
Currently, the stuff I’m writing [...]

Around my bloghood with They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants puzzles my children, frequently keeps me entertained and sends e-mails to me.
I’ve worn out their album “Flood” and I’m on the band’s e-mailing list.
So I thought it was extra-special cool to find Marcus over at Good Word Editing featuring one of the band’s videos in his post on a devotional about [...]

Train, Train, take me on out of this town…

That’s how it went - the song by Blackfoot in the late 1970s with the killer blues harp.
And I could play the intro.
So naturally it was one of the first concerts I remember attending.
Jim sparked this entry with his blog entry here http://lordibelievehelpmyunbelief.blogspot.com/2008/06/who-have-you-seen-live.html
Of course, a friend says “Sam, how could you forget seeing the Grand [...]

Story for my superhero children

Super Tiger Kung-Fu Girl and Amazing Reality Boy cornered Gargantuan Greedy Guy in the tree-house.
Despite the weight of their combined adjectives, the floor threatened to hold up.
Tiger Kung-Fu Girl dropped the “Super” from her name and then yelled “Tiger Claw!” at the villain while executing the martial arts move, rearranging the villain’s face.
Reality Boy reminded the [...]
