For the past 14 months, I have been doing a monthly “radio” show (a.k.a. podcast) on my website, EchoZoe.com The show is theological in nature, and in each episode I interview a difference guest on a topic that I find both interesting and important within Christianity. Many of the episodes I have done have been …

Uneventful Mother’s Day
Yesterday was Mother’s Day. We were a bit busy to celebrate. Jessica’s sister Katie and her husband Phil had their second child late Friday night. Jonah Nicolas came about 11:40pm. Jessica and I went up there to see the baby and help out as we could. Sunday was spent visiting in the morning and driving …
A Burial and a Resurrection
On Easter weekend, the ground was finally thawed enough that we were able to bury our second born, who we named Titus. It’s been 3 months since I delivered him and the loss is still so painful. I am comforted knowing that my Lord and savior, who died for the sins of those who repent …
“Chef Andy” Pizza (revised and updated)
For several weeks, I’ve been experimenting with a couple recipes to make the best pizza I can from scratch at home. I’ve gotten it pretty good after a lot of trial and error. This is what I’ve come up with. For the crust, I use the following recipe for a deep-dish dough, which is no …
The Birth of Baby Titus
My little baby Titus was born on January 30, 2009 at about 12:40 p.m. I would be rejoicing except that my little baby was born dead. God created little baby Titus on about December 4, 2008. I learned I was pregnant with him just 2 days after Christmas. I was so thrilled since I had …
Andy’s New Job
As you may have heard, Andy lost his job on Friday. He was one of 180 people let go by Opus Corporation on Friday. Can’t really blame the company since it’s not building any buildings and shouldn’t continue to pay people to do almost nothing. As a result, Andy’s taking a shot at being a …
I’m Finally Pregnant!
After months of trying and without weaning Jude, I have finally managed to get pregnant, with Andy’s assistance, of course. I think that the baby is probably due the very first days in September, meaning that if all goes well, the baby will arrive at the end of August. While I was taking the test …
A Great Week for the Family
Jessica and I got back a few days ago from a great time in the warm weather. We took a week-long cruise to the Caribbean. Stops included: Samana (in the Dominican Republic), Tortola, St. Thomas, and Great Stirrup Cay – Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island in the Bahamas. The week was a great time for …
Happy Birthday, Andy!
Today is Andy’s 31st birthday. It is off to kind of a rough start for him. I forgot it was his birthday and he had to remind me. I would have figured it out when I got to work since I had it on my calendar. Then, I decided to give him one of his …
No Big News
Have you heard that breastfeeding is a natural method of birth control? Well, I can verify from personal experience that that is true. Little Jude is just crazy about getting his “milkies.” As a result, it may be some time before I’m able to get pregnant. I’m not sure how I’ll ever manage to wean …
