Reason for Absence

Monday, October 4th, 2004

Simply put, it was a case of “life trumps blogging.” I’ve taken up the role of “Mr. Mom” as my wife is in school full-time. I work part-time now and manage to squeeze in some freelance work during my free time. But mostly I’ve been taking care of the boys and doing the housework while my wife is away. Our eldest son started second grade and I spend time checking his homework nightly. My parents come once a week to watch the kids on a day I work, which is a great help. We somehow manage to get by with my reduced income (Thank You, Lord!). More importantly, I feel blessed to be able to be home with my children at this stage in their lives.

The last major event of our summer was church family camp. That was a nice getaway for us all. Recently, our church launched a new worship service in the San Leandro/San Lorenzo area. Our church is small (less than a hundred members) but God has started a great work in order for us to reach out to the community out there.

The Debates

Saturday, October 2nd, 2004

Ooh boy, I caught a glimpse of it and I can’t wait to see more. No, I’m not talking about the presidential debates, I’m talking about these debates.

Faith Under Fire is a talk/debate show premiering tonight at 10 p.m. on PAX TV. It is “a forum for all points of view — a provocative program that takes an unflinching look at the most controversial issues involving religion, spirituality and morality.” Be sure to watch the preview trailer (T1, 56k). Hope the show’s popular enough to move to a bigger network someday.

“Dad, blue and yellow make green, right?”
