Well, I've been trying to cure myself! Christopher James Baker is so cute.  And I keep calling him, "The Kid!".  Just rolls off the tongue, but would probably warp the psyche of this unusually cute, bright, perceptive, intelligent and amazingly lovable grandchild So, I'm trying to quit!.  By the way, there is no bias here - he's definitely "THE KID". [Pictures to come on Monday!!]

Well, Jill watched - I slept through it! We have a grandson! Christopher Baker 7 lbs. 4oz. 20 inches 3:48 am - November 4, 2005 We love it!  Want further details?  Contact me!

I've been reading "Since nobody's perfect, how good is good enough?" by Andy Stanley.  It's a fairly quick read (you can stretch it over a few days, or just take an hour or two).  The content is the answer to the title question. I'm sitting writing in my journal.  I glance down.  There, upside down, is a house of cards.  I've picked up the book a number of times.  Never seen it! Maybe Harlequin has done a job of promising more on the cover than is inside.  Maybe I'm so used to covers I don't give them a second look.  Or maybe I've always seen things differently. That's what my family would say.  As a kid I'd sit at the table.  I'd try to explain some amazing thought.  They never got it.  I'd have to go back and rethink it.  Rethink it from their perspective. Always thought my thinking patterns were easy to follow.  The question is -- do others follow the same path?  Maybe I just missed the short-cut and got there another way.  Or did I have the short-cut?
