Moma Lynn and Kids
We had a great time visiting Moma Lynn last in August. Here’s a favorite of Moma Lynn holding Matthew. He’s trying to bounce out of her lap, but she’s faithfully holding him.
“But let it never be forgotten, that tenderness of spirit is absolutely inseparable from a spiritual frame. When our blessed Lord prayed, it was “with strong crying and tears?i?:” and when Jacob wrestled, “he wept, and made supplication.” This then is the state of mind which we must aspire after. Our fervour must be a humble fervour; and our confidence, a humble confidence. And whilst we look to God to accomplish all things for us, we must at the same time use all proper means for the attainment of them.”
Charles Simeon on Genesis 32:26 (1832-63)

Baby Mateo
Last weekend we visited with our church friends over dinner. Alejandra and Raul brought their young son Mateo. In the picture above, Mateo is enjoying a swing in a portable aquarium swing as he stares up at his dad. Vijay and Karen hosted the dinner with their son Nathan.

Open Door Metaphor
?To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.? (Revelation 3:7-8, NIV)
In other placed in scripture, the open door commonly refers to evangelism. However, this scripture is more likely not referring to the common open door metaphor found elsewhere in the New Testament.

Fisher Price Step and Play
We had been planning to wait for Christmas to get Matthew one of those exersaucers. Actually my mother was wanting to get it for him. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that now is really the best time to get it. He’s at the perfect age to enjoy it, so it’s better that we get our moneys worth out of it.

Approval of George W. Bush
We’ve all heard the approval ratings are way down on George W. Bush. I thought it might be interesting to see how friends and family feel about it. Please visit the forum and cast your vote.
