My Family // May 2011
This is my family: Sam is laughing at something; Tom is doing what he does best; and Row and I are pretending to not be tired! We’re all well and thankful for quality time together.

In case you missed it, we welcomed Thomas Kentwell into the out-utero world! Thomas is 3.65kg, 52cm long and 36cm head. Mum did (and is doing) an amazing job. Dad is looking forward to assembling a soccer team. And Sam is confused, yet excited! Here are some pics:

Praise God for his kindness! Thanks to our family, church and friends for support.
I turned up to the party one week late
In year 3 I turned up to Colin’s birthday party one week early. Kinda embarrassing, kinda funny. All okay, I just turned up the correct time the following weekend. This time it looks like I’ve turned up to the party one week late. I thought Monday 9th May was the 400th birthday of the King James Version of the Bible. It wasn’t. Monday 2nd May, 2011 was the birthday party. Oops. Unless I can invent a time machine, it looks like I’ll have to wait until the KJV’s next significant birthday (500th?) or hope the 400th kicks on for a while!
Anyway. Happy Birthday 400th Birthday KJV!! I’m thankful to God that you helped pave the way for the Bible in a language I can understand.

Wolverine vs Osama bin Laden
While watching Wolverine on Monday I pressed paused to stream US President Obama’s live announcement about the killing of Osama bin Laden. Since then, I’ve written about 10 different blog posts in my head. I guess this is one of them. Every man and his dog (at least dogs savvy enough to have a twitter account) has already shared their opinion on the killing.
I have nothing new to say. So check out the following:
- Love Your Enemies – The Resurgence – if you’ve only got a few moments, read this one. It’s brief and to the point. Deals with the question of whether it is right to rejoice in bin Laden’s death. Check it.
- Love in Hard Places – DA Carson – I was re-reading Carson’s 2002 book on Tuesday morning and noticed that The Gospel Coalition had released the whole book as a free PDF. Get it. It’s good. Carson deals at length very complex questions. The book was published shortly after September 11, 2001 – so it has an extended treatment of what it means to love bin Laden. Download the pdf and skip to page 108 for that section.
- Killing an Arab – Mark Sayers – Mark has been punching out some good blog posts lately. I like the way he deals with justice and love in this post. He finishes at the cross where we see God’s justice and love come together in the death of Jesus. Go there.
ps – I think Wolverine would win…
