Thoughts about life, faith, parenting, and more from the perspective of a Tardy.

Young Enthusiasm
Hayden, still not even two years old, is already trying to master the perfect shave. After weeks of diligently studying my technique, he ventures out on his own. He still has some learning to do—mainly that diaper ointment doesn’t make the best shaving cream—but at least he is trying.
Born in the Wrong Decade – Using the Strait Razor
I’ve been called Wolverine and Hugh Jackman more than once for my beard and wolf-like hair combination, and as much as I love that, I’ve decided to change up the look this year.
Pursuit of the Perfect Shave
It may sound ridiculous, but I wanted to get rid of the beard—and keep it off—in the best way [...]
Speak with Conviction
A friend shared this great little video about speaking with conviction and authority—something neglected in our culture where we condition our statements with…you know…and other such disclaimers.
My Neck – Before and After
Six and a half years ago, I broke my neck in a snowboarding accident. Today, it’s finally starting to look better. The left side of the picture is my neck six months ago, the right is my neck today. Yikes!

Tower of Babel
“…the tower [of Babel] was not built so that people could ascend to heaven, but so that deity could descend to earth.” — John Walton
Interestingly in Gen 11:5, “…the Lord came down to see the city and the tower…”
Sit Down and Eat
I’ve been reading through John recently, and just couldn’t help but wonder how the scene played out for those still standing in John 6 when Jesus walks by to give them some food, and…keeps on walking. He simply asked that they sit down and then gave those who were seated as much as they wanted. [...]
