My Cute Kid

I have a dilemma. Well, sortof. . . My wife and I took professional pictures of our son last week, and we have discovered that (with an unbiased opinion of course) he is the cutest, most adorable human to set foot on earth. Actually, the pictures turned out pretty unreal. Simply breathtaking. You can see that this picture looks like it belongs in a picture frame at the store. I started to put it into a contest online called the Cutest Kid 2007 contest, however as soon as I got to the "submit" button, I couldn't do it. I feel like I am exploiting my child, or doing something without his consent! I know I am his father and I should make the decisions I feel are best for him. Am I doing him more good than bad? Will he be upset with me for this later on? Maybe I am overanalyzing? Who knows, but we're considering it at least. Anywho, check it out; what do you think?


See! He is one of a kind! "attsmaboy!"

Who's the daddy now?

10 days ago my life was forever changed. I am forever grateful for what an amazing gift I've been given. My son, Ethan Robert Miller was born. 6lbs 6oz. 19 1/4 inches long! He looks like me, but he has his mammas long arms and legs.

Never ever in my wildest dreams imagine the feelings that I would have for my own flesh and blood immediately as soon as I saw him. My wife and I cried big ole tears of joy! Let's just hope that he is taller and better lookin than his daddy. Seriously though, this past week we've had the fewest hours of sleep that we can remember, but it has been the most wonderful time!

You moms and dads know where I am coming from, you weenies that are scared or "waiting" for the right financial time...get it together! There is no "perfect" time, there's God's time!

I want to post a scripture that I hope and pray will be useful for my son in the future. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Tim 4:12

I'm out,

compromise is easy..that's why we do it

com·pro·mise
I am sitting here wondering; why do I settle for things knowing that I should wait because my return will be so much greater? I am wondering why in my life have I "settled" in some areas...settled and NOT let God be able to bring me what HE KNOWS is perfect for me. I try to play god and rule over my own life...truthfully I have no idea what I would do if tomorrow a life altering event happened to me. Sure, we all say; "well i'd do this..or we would make sure we say or do this." I infuriate myself thinking about what stupid decisions I will make tomorrow, what unwholesome thoughts I will have, what words I will use verses what words I SHOULD use, how I WON'T manage my time as wisely as I should. Accountability is under appreciated and too often overlooked as a possible way to get closer to the Cross. I am making my list of a few goals visible for you to see so that in the coming weeks when you think of it, pray for me that I will be diligent about accomplishing these goals. Sorry for my random rambling of things...but this is what's on my chest!

goals (no particular order)
1. successfully and faithfully start a bible study with the young men in the student ministry
2. prayerfully seek a true hardcore accountability partner
3. let go of some things that have me trapped spiritually

later guys
