Growing older doesn't always mean growing wiser but I think you are doing both, though you don't look it };^) .
What Is Our Family About?
"This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it." Dr. Lewton was out the door by 5:30 this morning, strong coffee in hand. Two little Lewtons are nearing the end of their night-before-the-first-day-of-school sleep. (And the littlest Lewton of them all will smile them in...
Thanks Lisa I need a prayer some times and I like to read your posts for a few good words to brighten my day.
Walk In Your Ways
It is the Christian's Sabbath. The day we sometimes pay more attention to our faithwalk than we do on other days. May our faithwalk, our daily life, keep us behind Jesus' feet. The same feet that walked on water, stood next to outcasts, and waited silently before Pilate. May we follow the feet t...
perhaps you can have a word with my belly
First Thighs
(This letter, written to my thighs, echoes Paul's letters in the New Testament, written to churches in particular places. This one is, perhaps, less reverent and certainly less purposeful.) To my thighs: The jig is up. For months now, you have been stealing away the calories from so many foods I...
well I hope your sale goes well. I have never though having a garage sale is very fun but if the product of the effort is worth it enjoy the once in a lifetime experience.
Lessons From a Garage Sale Prepper
With oodles and oodles of boys clothes taking up room in our storage areas, Marcus and I ventured into the notion of having a garage sale. It seemed like a good idea at the time...and it will be an even better idea when it's all over! The sale is on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, but we ...
well I know a little about putting three boys to bed but two and girl I don't have much to go on. for JJ I sang to him for like a year No joke amazing grace and silent night. I am not sure but it did affect him he loves silent night still.
Remember When There Were Only Two Kids To Put To Bed?
Dear Bedtime, Why must you torment me? Back when there were only two little Lewtons to put to bed, I could manage. Sometimes only by means of minimal bribery, but that's understandable. Little boys simply do not like going to bed. They do like chocolate. And going to grandma's. And many other th...
Oh that we all must be aware and ready for the tearing of the heavens to know that our little selfish image of God is so much less than God really is. Thanks Lisa and Congrats on the new senior pastor.
Can You Believe in a God Like That?
One of the richest gospel texts is due up this weekend. It is a text I love to preach on, but will happily step away from the pulpit, as our bishop comes to install St. John's new senior pastor, (and preach on my favorite text). It is Baptism of Our Lord Sunday, hearing Mark's version of Jesus' ...
I know where it went. Into the bright blue sky you can never seem to hold onto days when they are all warm and "nicey" they just seem to evaporate before you are done with them. again Congrats on the Bun in the oven and God bless your Markus (all the other Markus's as well I guess just to be sure) I have a little knowledge of being spouse-less.
A Busy Month. Now Quiet.
What is it about my brain that perpetually forgets that September has a way of kicking by bee-hind? July and August roll around, a bit lazily, still with the relaxing scents of summer. And then, September 1st happens, and the next day, October 1st happens. In the meantime, at our house throughou...
HUmmm......cookies and Ice cream
Backward Supper
Well, this Lewton has lost it. Not completely, but close. With the dad of the house out finishing up the softball season, the rules of supper lose shape. Tonight was the first ever "Backward Supper" night. We started the meal with dessert and ended with the meal! The dessert: chocolate chip cook...
Well the yelling I get, and do, and receive often. I hope to be a better person a better parent but that old reptilian brain just screams SHUT UP AND GO TO BED. So you are at least among friends.
Stop Yelling!
I knew it. My kids' screams are erasing years off of the end of my life! "...evolutionarily speaking, [humans] aren't used to noise. 'Over millions of years, we evolved in quiet environments,' says [Bart] Kosko. 'If you heard a loud noise, it was probably something like an animal roar and meant ...

Lisa wow I am so glad to read about your family. This post just lifts my spirit and makes me want to be a speech therapist.
A Happy Ending...Or Beginning, Really
Four years ago, Thomas began meeting with a speech therapist because his words were not quite words. As swift as he was with trains and cars, words just were not his thing. First-timers we were in the parenting department, Marcus and I did not even realize he was behind. But when his pediatricia...

well glad you had a good Va-Ca and Welcome Back to March well I thought it was March but that inconvenient truth just keeps on giving. Have a Great Week *~
Back From Vacation
I have not been to my office or to the church in 11 days. Why the stretch? Three words: Vacation time, baby! With some great buddies, Marcus and I spent a week in Orlando, thanks to a good friend and time share owner. (And of course, thanks to our parents for watching over our kiddos. Our boys s...
