On Saturday the Burns family (and the 170+ employees of Logos and their families) headed out to Hovander Park for the annual Logos company picnic. It was an afternoon of food, fun, friends, and more food. From the climbing wall to, to bouncy house, to the sadistic bungee run, we all had a an absolutely wonderful afternoon. Thanks Logos!
Below is a slide show from the day. You can also view the pics on flickr.
I’m not sure what it is, but I’ve never liked berries. I think it is a texture thing, but not really sure.
Despite my dislike, we went and picked about 17 pounds of raspberries this afternoon. In case you didn’t know, Whatcom county (the county we live in) produces about 75% of the United State’s raspberries. Cool, huh?
So, it was a lot of fun and I managed to snap some really good pics. Click the picture below to see the sideshow on flickr.
I’m going through pictures and trying to get some sent off to Grandparents. I came across a photo shoot I did with Grace and laughed at how many of her facial expressions I recognized. Here are just some of the Many Faces of Grace.
For Father’s Day I was given 3 fishing rods… oddly enough, one of the rods was a Star Wars rod and one was a Princess rod. Thankfully I have a son who loves Star Wars and a daughter who is a princess. Today we finally went out to give the new gear a try (granted, Asher has been casting in the back yard for weeks).
Despite our best efforts we were unable to catch fish. Asher had a couple nibbles, but most likely some minnows grabbing the worm. Jennifer, on the other hand, managed to catch a baby duck… and yes, it was a bad as it sounds. The little guy snagged the worm as she was reeling it in. I rushed over and pulled it in to the dock. Thankfully we had some friends with us who could help. I held the duck as Eric, a seasoned fisherman, managed to get the hook out of its bill.
You can view a short sideshow of our pics here… and no, there aren’t any of the duck incident.
For those readers who like to read books as much as blogs, I’m selling a bunch of my books on Amazon. I put over 60 of my books up for sale on Sunday. I’m selling them for a number of reasons, but sufficed to say that buying these books will be supporting a good cause. So… go buy my books please.
I added a few new photos to Flickr. Click to view.
Made me smile this morning.

1 Corinthians 1:20-25
20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
For those who care about such things… I have redesigned my Design Simple website. It has been long overdue and I’m happy to get it off my list. Take a peak and let me know if you like it.
Good night.
So, six months ago I started working for Logos Bible Software. Part of the reason I took the job is because I really love the software and believe it is an amazing tool for Bible study.
Today I got two new titles to add to my digital library that I am REALLY excited about–The Works of Jonathan Edwards and The Works of John Owen. While on the bus this afternoon, exploring the new titles on my laptop, I was so excited that I decided I was going to come home and make a video that shows you a SMALL portion of what Logos Bible Software does and why I like is so much. So, for all my friends and family wondering what Logos is, here is a look at Logos.
