Poetic Reflection: The Logical Fallacy in Latin

Post Hoc ergo Propter hoc

Post hoc ergo propter hoc

you think it’s so, but not.

“if ‘b’ follows ‘a’…”

some might say,

” ‘a’ caused the ‘b’ “

but, this is wrong you see.

The Long Awaited Update…

I (Amy) should first apologize for not updating in a few months. Afton keeps me busier every day and the summer is crazy being in youth ministry. Enough excuses though!

Afton…wow! She amazes me by learning something new all the time. She can say a few words (besides momma and dadda) now: hi, hello, dah (dog), and no. She also points at things and says something resembling, “what’s that?” We were so proud of Afton for taking 15 steps in a row by herself at Nanny and Poppy’s house on the first of this month. She hasn’t taken as many since, but she regularly takes 5-6 steps in a row. She will be walking any day now, and we cannot wait!

Afton is also starting to eat more table foods. She enjoys cheerios, breads of any sort, bananas, carrots, peas, goldfish, pretzel sticks, cheese, ice cream, pudding, and can eat half of a grilled cheese sandwich. Afton is always willing to try some new food.

She now has four teeth to help her eat all these new and exciting foods. Two on bottom and two on top! Afton’s teeth are coming in beautifully, and make her look so grown up. Her sweet baby face is gone now and she is turning into the cutest little toddler you’ve ever seen!

Beautiful Afton

Afton will say “hi” to anyone who looks her way and will smile at everything. She loves dogs too…especially her Aunt Donna’s dog, Daisy. She is such a people person, just like her Mom and Dad. Even though Afton is mobile now, she still takes the time to hug and give kisses. She is such a sweet girl!

Her first birthday is coming quickly, and none of us can believe that a year has gone by so quickly. Afton has changed our lives drastically, and we are blessed by her daily.

Martin Luther on the greatness of Music

“Next to the word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world. It controls our thoughts, minds hearts, and spirits….a person who…does not regard music as a marvelous creation of God…does not deserve to be called a human being; he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.”
-MARTIN LUTHER

Deficient eschatology?

I have always held to the fact that I am not an Pre/post/a/disp. pre-millennialist but rather a pan-millennialist, I believe that it will all pan out in the end.
