Honestly, I cannot imagine. My husband is a twin and his mom and dad tell some great stories about what it was like. We had a similar schedule as yours with our first baby--but there was only one! I remind myself often that these days are so short and that they will be gone before we know it--and missed once they are gone. It is hard, though, to have that perspective in those sleep-deprived moments. Twins…wow. Honestly, I cannot imagine.

I remember staying up at night with my twins when they were born. My wife Linda would feed them at 11PM, and I'd stay up with them until 3AM for their next feeding, then Linda would get up at 5AM for the next one. It was draining, yet I grew spiritually through it. I'll never forget holding those two 5 lb. infants and thanking God for them... ...and committing my life to theirs for Him. Thanks, Erika.

(HT: Fred) 1. Word of the year: “truthiness.” Humbug. 2. I can think of more significant gaps: IM-ing. 3. Ocean Census: “there are nearly 16,000 known species of marine fish and 70,000 kinds of marine mammals. A couple of thousand have been discovered during the census.” 4. My son shows that Mary’s dress (from the cover of my book) is beginning to make a big impact: on Slater! 5. Congrats to Ken White and Huron Hills — an evangelical church with some serious missional action. 6. Trevin Wax has a nice reflection on my favorite Christian song. 7. Nice thoughts on fixed hour prayer by Erika — if I may, Erika, spirituality is offering the life we have to God and sometimes we are tempted to ask God give us a life we don’t have. Parents get up at night — and offer themselves to God in the form of our kids. 8. Who is next to you at work? 9. Tony says he’s getting old. No, Tony, you’re not getting old until the doctor says “It’s probably easier for you to go home since you might not be able to handle a surgery.” The insider story is that he made a sharp cut to the right and, since he hadn’t done that in so long, the knee gave way. Get well brother. I’ll show you my scars sometime. 10. Do emerging churches have doctrinal statements? The accusation that they do not is challenged by Dan Kimball. 11. And while you’re thinking it over, think about ending it altogether. [...] […] Nice article about Tom Wright. (HT: Fred) 1. Word of the year: “truthiness.” Humbug. 2.
