Rex turns 13!
Well, Sunday 1/7 was Rex’s birthday… his 13th birthday. Yes, we have a teenager in the house.
Alban, his friend that he had the honor co-baptizing into the faith, got him a “Nerf Long Shot rifle”. It’s intense. Nerf bullets are flying everywhere now.
Most parents are warned of the hardships of raising a teenager. I’ve been looking forward to it (either due to naivety, arrogance, or masochism... I'm not sure which). Regardless, I’m using this occasion to help Rex begin his entry into manhood. I will begin discipling him in much the same way I would a college student. Also, we will be taking a foray into the wild unknown as a right of passage into manhood. More on all that later. As for now, it's ice cream, video games, and general insanity.

Happy Birthday Rex.
"May you live to see your world fulfilled, May you be our link to future worlds, and may your hope encompass all the generations to be. May your heart conceive with understanding, may your mouth speak wisdom and your tongue be stirred with sounds of joy. May your gaze be straight and sure, your eyes be lit with Scripture's lamp, your face aglow with heaven's radiance, your lips expressing words of knowledge, and your inner self alive with righteousness. And may you always rush in eagerness to hear the words of One more ancient than all time."
