I almost forgot
In the daily chaos of completing my ever growing list of tasks i almost forgot about my blog site! Say it isn't so!
Despite every attempt to realize Stephen as my baby, he is growing so quickly, he is approaching one years old. He is walking, nearly running, talking back and showing great dislike of me washing dishes and/ or cooking whilst ignoring him (for the record I would love to play with him instead of washing dishes).
I heard a great radio broadcast on Moody today. A guest ( a very successful Mother) was sharing her growth experience with us, she described the similarities of Motherhood and Jesus' life on earth. She may have referenced the book of Mark Mark 4:38
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"
She parallelled this to a Mother who is trying to rejuvenate herself with a much needed and deserved nap, but here come her family members with a most urgent need, that only MOM can remedy.
She spoke about how rarely Jesus was alone, as the multitudes followed him as he preached and taught throughout the Land. His disciples were constantly asking him questions.
I agree and took heart to her study deciding personally to focus on how Jesus responds to situations of high stress and anxiety.
Luke 11 1One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
Jesus was imitated, just as our children imitate our actions (dont we wish they only picked up on the good ones?!) In this case Jesus turned and began to teach the Disciples prayer 'Our Father, Who art in Heaven...' He gave them this prayer so that they would understand, in stages, how they should address, revere and be in relationship with their heavenly Father. I noticed that Jesus did not respond with exasporation that upon completion of his prayer, his peace was broken by a disciple sitting (probably very near his face) wanting something; instead he responded with meekness and saw the time as an opportunity to instill an understanding into his disciple. How much more Christ-like could Stephen be if I take the time to show him how to accomplish tasks appropriately and how to respond peacefully. (How much more christ-like I can be, if I hear the Word, obey it and exude it in my actions of mothering?! )

My Growing Son
It is fun coming home to my beautiful wife (Trish) and my handsome son.
Trish is a stay-at-home mom. She does an excellent job keeping our son and she is a great home maker and cook. Our home has been well designed by her because she is a professional home designer and interior architect.
Stephen is a cool son! He is trying to walk, crawl, and he loves to bounce on mommy and daddy's lap. So cool. He is talking in languages that we don't understand. I believe he is speaking in an unknown tongue. I believe we have been visiting too many Pentecostal churches lately (smile). The funny thing about him is.....every time I am preaching and teaching on Sunday, he talks right along with me and the church starts to laugh.
Even when Stephen sleeps, he talks and he pimps slaps his parents in our bed and acts as though he is still sleep. Now I know he's a Gordon. We will take the punishment until he reaches the right age. ONE YEARS OLD (LOL)!!!! Then we will start to dish out the punishments.
Stephen is smiling at me now. Nice blogging 2 ya. Time to git. Gotta go play.
It is fun being a daddy and husband.

five months
He seems to hold entire conversations in a foreign language; boy, i wish i had learned this beautiful exotic language while i was in school.
He can sit up and play now, although he is a bit wobbly. He doesnt pay much attention as i read to him everyday, but evetually i am sure what all the cognition studies have shown will pan out and he will show an iq that is off the charts!
oh yeah and he drools very frequently, especially where he shouldn't like on his parents church clothes while we are on the way out the door, and on keyboards.
hehe
