As I am continuing my week at seminary, I must say that this has been a busy week. After working through how to format my dissertation for a few days, we have now been in class talking about the history of our country’s revivals. At night, I change poopy diapers and try to get as much research in Southern’s library …
As we are becoming engulfed in the summer months, our staff is also doing a whole lot of tweaking and long-term planning in the last two weeks. Someone asked me yesterday, “Is summer easier or harder on a church staff? Which is more busy?” I had to answer, “yes.” You see, they are two different animals. Both are extremely busy …
Superbaby. Blue eyes for now… Happy baby boy. Funny face. Chillin’. Dad’s hand is about to eat me. Happy boy. Judo kick. Baseball star.
When we were at the Biltmore House, I did a little photo shoot of Obadiah when he was waking up. Hope you enjoy: Contentment personified. He looks either excited or scared. Singing away. What a stud. “Daddy looks funny.” Striking a pose. Green-thumbed Obie.

How your baby’s growing: Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away. Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel …
How your baby’s growing: Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He’s shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the …
How your baby’s growing: Your baby doesn’t have much room to maneuver now that he’s over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon).
