Pilgrims On The Way


our old theologians used to make a lot out of the distinction between God's knowledge and ours...they distinguished...between a knowledge of God in himslef (a theology of glory), which was unavailable to us, and a revelation of God accommodated to our weakness (a theology of the cross). they called "our theology" theologia viatorum, "the theology of pilgrims." while pilgrims haven't already arrived, they know where they're headed and are even now on their way by God's grace. -Michael Horton

At only 12 days old Isaiah weighed in at 10 lbs!! From his 8lb 7oz discharge weight when he was 2 days old, to 10 lbs only ten days later! He's a great eater and sleeper- a great combo for fast-paced growing!


On the 20th of August Benjamin and Isaiah were dedicated to the Lord by our dear friend and pastor, Ward Cowie. It was a special service with much blessing showered on the boys. Needless to say, our little family put on quite a show for the congregation as we stood up at the pulpit and attempted a "proper" ceremony. Zachariah had the other children in stitches as he jumped his stunts off the stage, and made a bee-line for the drum set! Benjamin grabbed at the microphone and sang high-pitched squeels as he wrestled in the arms of, first Jeremy who then passed him to Ward, who then passed him to me.... Isaiah dozed peacefully as he also was passed from one hand to the next in order to accomodate the chasing of Zach or the quieting of Ben. There were quite a number of chuckles and sighs from the congregation as they "empathetically" realized the challenge, albeit the blessing, that lay before Jer and I to parent these three boys- full of life and energy! I appreciated seeing the entire congregation stand in agreement that they would participate in whatever manner they could in helping us to raise our boys in godliness.

I can hardly believe Isaiah will be two weeks old tomorrow already! It seems so quick, and yet, as though he's been with us for a long time. He is a blessing and a delight to our family!!
