Preaching in Ghana, 2006

Tonight Elliot came up to me and thoughtfully declared: "You'd make a good pastor Daddy..."

I was moved to think that my efforts to train up my children was beginning to pay off and began to ponder how soon, my wife and family would be rising up to call me "lord" when my thoughts were interrupted by the rest of the boy's thoughts on the matter:

"...because your sermons are only 15 minutes long."

Hmmm...apparently, I'll have to get back to you on the "lord" thing in a few more years.


From Proverbs 18

The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
      And like a high wall in his own esteem. 
Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
      And before honor is humility. 
He who answers a matter before he hears it,
      It is folly and shame to him.
