Several wonderful blessings at church this morning. The first is that I had the privilege of baptizing two of my grandchildren, the twins Chloe and Titus. Praise God from whom all blessings flow, including the blessing of God’s generational kindness and promises. The second blessing was a dedication, not a baptism. A family in our …
Thanks to God
Please rejoice together with us. Just back from the hospital, where my youngest daughter Rachel delivered my two youngest grandchildren, a girl and a boy, joining the tribe of their two older sisters. The new babies are Chloe Lynn Geddes Jankovic (7 pounds 2 ounces) and Titus James Jankovic (7 pounds 9 ounces). That’s a lot …
Impromptu Answers to Prayer
Some time during high school, I worked for a summer or two (I forget) up at Cedar Campus, a Christian retreat center in Michigan’s upper peninsula. I have a number of fond memories of that place. Actually one of my earliest memories is of that place as well — I think I was around five, …
A Good Thing
Busy couple weeks. Our ministerial conference was last week, and the meeting of Anselm Presbytery is this coming week. But during the ministerial conference, I was delighted to find Tim and David Bayly in attendance. Thursday night they came to our place for dinner, and on the way home I took them by to see …
And Way to the Right
A former student was hiking in Virginia, and snapped a photo of something that he thought was pretty funny. Must be thinking of the east coast Wilsons.
Fiendish Glee
It seems that computers can do a lot of things. This is, I believe, what is called a dented image. So here is the picture that you all can summon up whenever you think that I must have written a particular post with fiendish glee and mayhem in my heart. Suppose, to borrow an image …
Seamus is My Kind of Music Critic
This is Seamus James Wilson, being held by his lovely grandmother. His nicknames thus far are Seamus Jamus, or the more popular ShayJ.
Big Doings at our Place
Sorry about all the visuals. I am in a picture groove. Those of you who have been to our home may be aware that we have put our three acres together with the two acres of our neighbor to the south, along with three more acres from our neighbor to the north, and are having …
Whoa
A little less than ten years ago, we had quite a thunderstorm head toward our house, coming from the southwest. It was a thunder-bumper of magnificent proportions. It was the kind of thing the Midwest would not need to be ashamed of. Our family started out sitting on the front porch, watching it come our …
Synchronized Corn on the Cob Eating
As many of you know, my daughter and son-in-law, and their five kids, have been at Oxford the last year, and just got home the night before last. We of course had to have ourselves a barbeque, along with a little synchronized corn on the cob eating in our front yard. And here is a …
