So ya I thought it was high time to write somethin’ … there… ha ha. Anyways, just finished “Blue like Jazz” and thought it was highly intriguing. I absolutely love the way he writes, I think he’s very nonchalant, and earthy umm… I like … I think the content was also very interesting It gave a very clear view of the movement he is part of . I think I was building up to Miller , maybe I’ll try Mclaren next and who knows maybe after that I’ll write my own book about denying the reality of sin or something . Ok that was a low punch I know, but I had to throw it in for my dear friend Bryan Neusch, and maybe for Kirk. Ok now for the real review …

I was extremely impressed he was honest and gritty to the bone. I have to admire a man that hangs his humanity out there in such a fashion. He is open and real in that sense the book is pretty awesome. He was definitely burned by the established church , and he lets his readers know in no uncertain terms , but truth be told I don’t think he speaks against it . His words are more an encouragement to move towards the essence of Christianity. I liked the challenge that reading this book placed on my life , so I’m gonna recommend it … I recommend “Blue Like Jazz” by Don Miller . There it’s recommended by me now, BTW this is David writing …

On another note I tried to make my kitchen a swimming pool, but it didn’t work. When I wash Maeve’s diapers you plug the thing into the faucet and hook the “outgoing” hose on the side of the sink so all the “poopy” (not really) water goes down the drain. Long-story-short: vibrations, hose on floor, 3 buckets, one towel.

This afternoon it was Maeve and Daddy time. So we hung out … I took pictures of her, she drooled on me, I played guitar, she swatted little hanging toys. The coolest thing was when she farted, and I being the inexperienced baby noise interpreter thought she had done her “thing ,but it was a false alarm. So I changed her anyways, and she was fussy so I made those stupid sounding noises that daddy’s make to appease the wrath of our children, well it worked!!! She started giggling and waving her arms and legs at a million miles per hour and then she said “igloo”. That was sooo cool, it made me laugh a lot. Ok I know it was circumstantial and truth be told it was more like “gigigloo” so I guess it won’t be the first one in her vocabulary . Maybe we shouldn’t be giving her shaved ice for her aching gums … well gotta go its getting kinda weird.

Signing off … David
