New year, new website
To old friends, welcome to the new look of the blog you already know. Use the links in the heading above to wander around and discover how much more is here than just blog.
To newcomers, I hope you’ll stay and become friends.
You never can tell what I’ll be thinking about when you come back. You might find stories about the care of God’s creation in Kenya, or about Christ-centered traditions. You might catch up with our adoption story or my all-out war with personal chaos. And sometimes I’ll be hoping you’re ready for some silliness.
I’m still working on some details like categorizing old posts, but I’m eager to connect with you here already.
I hope you’ll all subscribe, either by RSS or by email. That way you’ll know every time there’s a new blog entry.
For example, you don’t want to miss the next post. That’s when I’ll tell you about the Hurray-New-Website contest and how to enter.
I’m thankful to God for the ones who created this website:
Matt Taylor for designing the site.
Josh Sowin for building the site.
Abraham Piper for overseeing the project and using simple words to tell me what I needed to do.

Thinking about Santa
Advent: Waiting for Jesus #6
We have always tried to help our children understand as much about God as they are able at whatever age they are.
So what about Santa? How does he affect the way children understand Christmas? At the Desiring God blog, you can read some of my thoughts.

Jesus Tree
Advent: Waiting for Jesus #5
Over the years, during Advent we’ve used a Bethlehem Tree, a Jesse Tree, and now what we call a Jesus Tree.
At the Desiring God blog, you can read about them, and how in the world a disco ball is related.
