First Fruits

There is a time of day affectionately referred to as "First Fruits" around our home. It occurs "first" in the day, right after Morning Stuff (see gadget bar). It's a special time, and unfortunately, unique now in the American church. A faithful father diligently, intentionally, consistently gathering his flock to participate in a time of family worship. Running is worship? It certainly can be . . . if it's First Fruits running! Especially when half-way into the run you get to take a breather and listen to some excellent First Fruits preaching from our favorite Bible teacher, Daddy. Tied for second, third, etc, would be Paul Washer (Josh's favorite) www.heartcrymissionary.com, John Piper (Sarah's favorite) www.desiringgod.org, and Mom's favorite - Voddie Baucham, www.voddiebaucham.org. I love any preacher who thinks a woman with 7 children should have a party thrown in her honor!!
Won't be long before Hannah gets the boot! Right now she and Naomi enjoy the ride but Jael is almost ready to take her seat.
