Wow, a post a year. Not too bad. I have to be honest, I felt a bit ashamed when I looked at the date for my last post (and the subject) and realized I haven't been keeping my end of the bargain. So, I'm saying another little prayer for Sage right now. However, if you read this, I'd also ask that you say a prayer for Emmanuel Elizabeth, who my wife and I lost back in December. It wasn't an unwanted pregnancy; God simply called his child home. We were in Las Vegas when it happened, trying to take a much-needed vacation. Sadly, that didn't work out so much. A miscarriage is an ordeal that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's emotionally painful and draining, and the man is completely helpless to prevent this premature separation of child from mother. Just writing about it now (four months after the fact) feels a little therapuetic. I should do it more often. Anyway, seeing my post on Sage brought the whole experience with little EE back for me. I simply cannot imagine why anyone would willingly put themselves, their body, and their child through something like that. I'm not trying to be political, I'm just relating what I've experienced.
My reason for posting was to review How to Train Your Dragon, but that subject seems somewhat trivial compared to what the Holy Spirit compelled me to write. Suffice it to say that the movie is light, entertaining, and awe-inspiring.
The irony of choosing my blog title hasn't been addressed since I resumed my Master's in English this past fall. That is, when it comes to English, words are necessary.
I've decided to post regularly. In order to do so, I'll have to assess what I want to write about. The things that interest me are my family, movies, books, Christianity, politics, and the San Francisco Giants. So, let's start from there and see where we go. Peace out.
