Crying and Laughing at the Same Time
We have been amazed at the way that Asher has been growing and developing over the last 21 months. He has brought inexpressible joy into my heart. It is truly an honor to be his daddy.
Recently Anne and I have experienced the ups and downs of parenting. Recently we have noticed a growing defiance in Asher. I know that Asher was born in sin just as all human beings are, but I was not prepared for how the reality of Asher's sinful nature would affect me.
A few nights ago he refused to obey his mommy and daddy. Anne told him that if he did not obey that she would give him a spanking. It broke her heart when he continued to disobey. She had to follow through and give Asher his first spanking.
She began to cry as she swatted his little butt grieving the pain it would cause him, but knowing that she must discipline him. She spank him once - he laughed. She spanked him twice - he laughed again. Thrice she spanked him - thrice he laughed.
There was my wife crying because she had to give her little boy his first spanking and he laughs. Obviously the spank did not hurt and he did not understand that he was being punished.
Theologically I affirm the doctrine of total depravity and at times I have grieved the sinful nature of human beings. I grieve my own sinful nature, but seeing it in my sweet little Asher did something to me.
My heart aches for him and I long for him to receive the salvation that is found in Jesus Christ alone. My prayers for him are more intense and my time with him is more gospel focused.
I also look at others with more compassion and I am more motivated than ever before to share the life saving gospel of Jesus Christ with them.
O that my little boy would be saved from his sin. O that those in our community would repent and believe in the gospel.
O that I would be more deeply burdened for those around me who do not know Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior.
Father forgive me for my apathy in sharing the gospel of the kingdom.

Apartment Adventures
We have lived in apartments our entire married lives. After six and a half years we are finally moving into our first home next week.
Tonight Anne & baby, Asher and I were sitting down having some good cuddle time when there was a knock knock knock at the door. It was April, our neighbor. She had a look on her face that told me that she would love to be anywhere in the world at that moment other than at my door telling me what she had to say.
After some embarrassed mumbling she told me that her son had urinated in Anne's shoe!
How do you respond to that? We just busted a gut laughing. This was seriously funny. Not so much that my wife's shoe was filled with pee, but that totally awkward situation this boy had put his mother in. She was horrified!
She told us she would pay for a new pair of shoes and she apologized over and over again. She also told us that her son would be over to apologize after his time out.
We shut the door and just laughed. Anne did not know how to respond to this boy when he came over so we talked about it for a couple of minutes.
Just then we heard April say, "go ahead knock." He did. We opened the door to see a clearly embarrassed and ashamed young boy. "Go ahead" April said. "I, I'm sorry" he said. "For what." she said. "I'm sorry I peed in your shoe."
I was dying to know, so I asked, "why did you do that?" Then came the famous answer. "I don't know?" "How would you like it if someone peed in your shoe?" No answer!
Anne spoke up, "I forgive you."
"Now take those shoes to the garbage" April said.
And with that it was over. Another wild apartment adventure!
We are so excited about our move into our own home next week!

Pregnancy Cravings
Tonight Anne insisted that I help her make an apple pie! I tell ya those pregnancy cravings can be really strong. A husband really has to put up with a lot sometimes.
The weird thing about it is that I am the one who had the craving for the apple pie. I suppose it was only right that I help make my own pie!
By the way, how many apples can you fit into one pie anyway?
Let it be known to all that I have the best wife ever!
Update:
This pie is about to get sliced and smothered with vanilla ice cream and warm caramel!

Asher is a little helper
Asher is getting to be quite the little helper. Today I had the unfortunate experience of catching some kind of stomach bug. I came home early this afternoon and spent much of that time in the bathroom. After one of my visits my helpful little boy ran into his room and grabbed a diaper. He then ran over and offered it to his daddy.
Thats my boy! Always ready to help when he is needed!!!
