Saturday's Old Photo

This is a photo of my youngest daughter on her second birthday. She’s licking her chops in anticipation of her presents and cake.

She was a sweet little girl, but she also knew how to get what she wanted. She already had her daddy wrapped around her finger. She’s probably hoping her gifts are things that her big sister and brother will want to play with so she can tell them, “No, they’re my birthday presents!”

This coming week she turns 25. She’ll be flying off to Vancouver to spend the day with her big sister. That’s an impressive way to celebrate, but I bet she won’t have as much fun as she did on her second birthday.

Round the Sphere Again

History
Justin Taylor reminds us that today is the anniversary of William Cowper’s death and posts a short video about Cowper’s life.

William Cowper is one of my favorite hymn writers and his life story fascinates me. Here are a few things I’ve posted about him.

• There Is A Fountain
• God Moves In A Mysterious Way
• On Cowper’s Grave
