Bibs for Babes

I finished up these bibs today. I made two per baby, six in all, for a triple shower on Sunday. They were so much fun I wish I had an excuse to make more. 

To give credit, I used this very helpful pattern and tutorial.

Round the Sphere Again: Presuppositionalism

A bit of internet controversy can be a good thing. Earlier this week, Paul Copan posted a piece at the Gospel Coalition blog that has a few criticisms of presuppositional apologetics. (I’m not an expert on presuppositionalism, but even so, I could see that his punches didn’t land.) There have been quite a few responses to his post, and that makes me happy, because presuppostionalism can be hard to understand, and clarififying responses are a good thing. 

I plan to link so some of these from the presuppositionalism theological term page, but in the meantime, here’s a list of a few of the recently posted resources on presuppositionalism:

Thankful Thursday

I’ve been making bibs for babies. I’m going to a shower for three babies on Sunday, so I need three gifts to take. I decided to sew something, and after spending a little time searching the internet for for baby gifts to make, I settled on these bibs. I like the way they are turning out, and I’m thankful, once again, for my new sewing machine. I’m thankful, too, for my big stash of scraps. I’m thankful that I know how to sew. 

Speaking of babies, I spent yesterday morning with the grandbaby girl and she was particularly cute. She’s started “growling”—out of excitement, out of frustration, to express pretty much any emotion. She’s nearly sitting, and she’s grabbing everything to put in her mouth. I’m just so thankful for her—that she’s healthy and developing as she should.

Some stitches came out at my dental incision site, which means I have to be really careful to keep it clean because a bone infection would not be a good thing. It also means I’m still on my soft food diet. I’m really thankful for ice cream. I’m thankful, too, that God is sovereign over my healing. I can trust him to be working for my good in everything. And really, what more could I ask?

What about you? What are you thankful for?
