There was some good discussion last Sunday in my Sunday-School class. As is normal, I forgot my Bible, and had to slyly peek over at the one belonging to the person next to me. That didn’t work out so well and I wound up - get this - mostly just listening to what [...]
Here are a couple questions that Curtis (our 3-and-a-half year old) has asked me in the past 24 hours:

I think I stumbled through ok on this one. Something like:

The idea is that hopefully I will have more time to do things like have devotion and prayer time, respond more promptly to email, write blog entries, do other stuff, etc.
