Reflections of Christ
2008-04-08 00:13:00 A friend sent me this link, to my great joy - not only because I love photography, but more importantly, because I love my Saviour, Jesus Christ . I just had to share it.

Gotta Love to Play!
2008-04-04 00:06:00 I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I love to play. Boris Becker A good attitude to have. With this outlook, life is so much easier. Because if the end result is not always what we had hoped for, we can always say: “Oh well… at least I had fun playing, ... More About: Love , Play , Gotta

Life is a Game
2008-04-01 12:20:00 Yesterday Johannes had his first day in school after the heart surgery. He wanted me to go with him, so I took the day off from work and helped him get settled in.

Searching for the Light
2008-03-30 09:19:00 I know that Easter is over, but I just have on last thought about these past days. Whenever Christmas or Easter comes around there is always so much going on… but so little pointing to Jesus Christ, who is (believe it or not) the main reason for these celebrations. I always say that there is so ... More About: Light , Searching
Our Saviour?s Love
2008-03-27 12:45:00 “We love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) It’s been a good Easter. The family has been together a lot. My mother-in-law, Silvana, has also been here.

Best Easter Workout
2008-03-25 10:26:00 He thought this looked easy when I did it, but Isak found out for himself that “blowing out” an egg is quite the workout for the lungs. Grandma Silvana (my mother-in-law) is there to support him. More About: Video , Humor , Family , Workout , Easter
An Easter Angel
2008-03-21 23:54:00 One of many things I love about our Church is that it invites us to not only worship on Sundays or once a year, but teaches us that faith is an every day issue. One thing latter day saints are encouraged to do during the week, for example, is to have family home evening. This ... More About: Religion , Family , Photo , Angels , Easter
Most Beautiful 35-Year Old
2008-03-20 15:47:00 Couldn’t let they day go by without publicly congratulating my wife, Angelica, who turned 35 today. She doesn’t like publicity (and that’s putting it mildly) so I’ll just summarize and say that she is without a doubt a remarkable woman, and I thank God for letting me experience life at here side. But in this picture, ... More About: Family , Photo , Parenting , Inspiration , Beautiful
After the Heart Surgery
2008-03-20 15:17:00 I know that some of you who have read the posts A Prayer for the Heart are wondering about the aftermath of our son Johannes’ heart surgery. Well, as far as his heart goes, he’s done really fine. Everything is healing rapidly, and his chest scar is looking good also (better than before actually). We ...

Making a Difference
2008-03-14 14:57:00 When I wrote the post Take Control (1): Be a Captain I got an e-mail from a friend in the Netherlands who told me a good story.

Disturbing Sleeping Beauty
2008-03-11 23:46:00 Clara fell asleep on the cough today, something she seldom does. I just had to take out the camera. What a beauty. Just hold it still for a second… Click! Oops, she turned. The shutter is making too much noice in this quiet room. Just one more shot… CLICK! Ooops! Again. ... More About: Family , Photo , Beauty , Sleeping
I?d Like to Have an Argument
2008-03-10 11:58:00 After being serious for quite some time now, this is just to help us look at the brighter (or wackier) side of life. I don’t know if you have the same strange sense of humor I have… but I love these guys (and there’ll be more to come, I promise) Should one want to be serious, ...

Johannes says Thank You!
2008-03-07 00:04:00 Johannes wanted to say thank you to all of you who prayed for him these past weeks, that he would be safe during his open-heart surgery. I think there are a lot of things he would like to say, but because of the language barrier, it will only be a short message. But I hope ... More About: Children , Gratitude , Johannes
A Prayer for the Heart (7): Clean Hands
2008-03-06 14:49:00 We came home to Södertälje today. It’s a five hour drive from the hospital in Göteborg. It was really good to walk through that front door again. We have been gone for exactly two weeks. Every bone in my body ached for my bed, feeling tired after the drive. I am used to driving for ...

A Prayer for the Heart (6)
2008-03-03 00:48:00 Get ready for lots of photos! Angelica and I have both asked Johannes and he thinks it’s okay to post these photos.

Why We Should Write
2008-03-02 00:54:00 If some of you are getting tired of the many “A Prayer for the Heart” posts, about our son’s heart surgery, I understand. If you think it might be a bit too much, you certainly don’t have to plow your way further. It’s you choice. But I don’t - and please don’t misunderstand me on ...

A Prayer for the Heart (5)
2008-02-28 22:49:00 How about those contrasts in life? Yesterday I wrote life is like a tango with steps both forward and backward. Today life is… well… I don’t have the words… but it feels like a SAMBA! Because we’re so happy!!! The catheterisation of Johannes’ heart went great. The bad signs that were discovered yesterday through the ultra ... More About: Children , Prayer , Happiness , Gratitude , Heart
A Prayer for the Heart (4)
2008-02-28 02:11:00 Life is like a tango: two steps forward, and one step back. Overall it’s good to know you’re moving forward, but sometimes you’ll just have those day in between when everything goes backwards. This has been one of those days. Well… frankly, it’s not entirely true that it’s been full throttle backwards today; Johannes has actually ... More About: Life , Parenting , Children , Prayer , Heart
A Prayer for the Heart (3)
2008-02-27 00:14:00 As soon as I had saved yesterday’s post, A Prayer for the Heart (2), Johannes started to move. I flew out of the chair I was sitting in, almost throwing my laptop to the floor.

A Prayer for the Heart (1)
2008-02-22 23:56:00 A few months ago, when I wrote the post Repairing My Son’s Heart (which explains about Johannes’ condition) I knew it wouldn’t be long until the next open-heart surgery, the third one for him.

And the new President is?
More articles from this author:2008-02-07 22:29:00 There is so much focus on the US President ial election right now that the world has not taken much notice of the calling of a new worldwide president.
