Happy Valentine's Day Baby

The above photo is from Ashley's 20 week ultrasound.  She is about 25 weeks now. Crazy how the time flies when you're not doing any of the work.  I have been observing the process though.  A few things that stand out thus far:

1. My wife's belly!  Thing is huge!  And growing everyday.
2. Notice the bicep on this kid!  Not bad.  Not bad at all.
3. I came home today - and found a "Baby Einstein - Musical Motion Activity Jumper".  DANG IT!!!  My kid is already spoiled, and it isn't even born yet.
4. Ever heard of a "doula"?  Are you serious!  So much I don't know.
5. We are just a few months out, and I've yet to read one 'expecting father' book - CRAP!!!

Ashley, her family (Jerald, Lisa, Jordan and Landon) and I shot this during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  My folks (Bob and Ruthie) spent the holidays in Indio, California.  This was our attempt to bring them to Iowa City - and Christmas 2010.  Mommy and Daddy T - we love you, we miss you, we wish you were here!  Can you hear that?  The Midwest is calling you home for Christmas 2011!!!  Do not stand her up - she a mean ole' sucker when she is spurned.  Hahaha!!!  MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just a glimpse at what God is doing here in Iowa City.

A God-Story

This is just one of the many stories that God is writing in our midst.

What a privilege to watch Him move.

Veritas' First Baptisms

Veritas Baptisms from Veritas Church on Vimeo.


Veritas baptized its first 7 people yesterday - Sharon, Jeremy, Kurt, Lindsey, Megan, Kelly, and Frank.

We got to hear their stories during our Sunday morning service - they were amazing!

Then, as a church, we walked down to the local Rec. Center - and lined the edges of the pool - as our brothers and sisters made an obedient 'proclamation' of WHO it is - that they're living for.

We praise God for all that He's doing among us!

"Saaabbbiiinnnooo"
