The above title means nothing its a punny twist on a spoonerism.
For those of you who find the previous sentence confusing, may
I recommend dictionary.com.
Once you’ve looked up puns and spoonerisms you can move onto the important stuff.
You know, things like Abby’s walking, I’m finally done with my
reading/listening of the Old Testament, Jessica’s a great
wife and more.
Also, I washed the cars this morning.
Gross – dirt is dirty (Kinda like sin is sinful? Romans 7:13).

The Jabberwocky

When I was a lad my dad introduced me to the
Jabberwocky.
This of course is foreign to most people (like my humor?) however Abigail has once again brought to my attention the idea of Jabber-Walking.
She is just going on and on now about utter nonsense.
Words that she says are mamamama and dadadadada and pish (fish) and cat and this.
I find that most anything can be a “this”.
She points randomly to things and says, “This?”
As Ray Romano says, “There’s no segway with kids. You go from, ‘Are you going to come home tomorrow dad?,’ to, ‘I have a thousand pennies.'”
Abigail was really fascinated with keys for a time.
Now, its the little rubber ends on door stops (she pulls them off and sucks on them, which is followed by a spanking when we discover it).
However, with all of that, she’s cute and she’s taking steps – lots of them.

Old Testament Journey

During a long walk with my friend Paul Henebury he encouraged me to read through the Bible – regularly.
This was something I knew I should do, but frankly have not done but once, and even then it was a while ago.
I finished reading (and listening, my in-laws gave me the Bible on CD-audio [THANKS!!!!]) the Old Testament
and am now digging heartily into Matthew.
I was struck by the sense of passion in the Ezekial, awed by Jonah’s blatant hatred of the Ninevites, and
wondered by the end times descriptions of a merciful God sparing His people, and yet demanding justice.

I hope to be able to read through the Bible at least 2 times a year from now on.
I’m not going to keep a strict schedule, but I know that if you read about 10 chapters a day
(I’d keep Psalm 119 to itself) you can read the Bible in ~6 months.
Sure, you’ll run into questions if you’ve never done it before, but think about how much of
the Old Testament so many of us have not read and think about how much of the New Testament
depends on an Old Testament context or understanding (context?).

If you’d like more info on reading through the Bible and schedules for it:

• Crosswalk.com – read online in multiple translations, or listen in Real Audio (Yuck, I don’t like RA, hyowever, I recommend reading in the NASB, usually)
• Back to the Bible – a site with various reading plans, pretty darn cool.

Jessica is the Bomb!

I married a great wife.

I can’t say that enough.

If your wife is half as good as Jessica you’re a lucky man.
She takes such good care of our little girl, she makes our home a nest, and she doesn’t complain about not having a house yet.
She is diligent to stay on the budget and even looks for ways to get ahead.
She’s smart (even if she did marry me).
The loves the Lord most of all, and that makes me a proud (yet biblically humble ;)) man.

Other Stuff

We’re doing well in every other sense I think.
We’re planning on going to OR, WA, and CA all in 9 days or so in August/September.

Resting in Him,

Randy
