Bringing warmth to a fathers heart

October 5, 2010

One of my children came downstairs, after being in their room for ages yesterday, with the following list of verses. They had obviously spent a long time going thru a bible looking at highlighted verses and choosing, as they put it, their “favorite ones”. I think its a pretty good list, actually, and I am [...]

10 Things I learnt on my summer “break”

September 1, 2010

Following just over a month of this self-imposed near-total break from my online life (obviously not including my paid work!) what have I discovered? WordPress’s auto-publish feature is bullet-proof and a real gift You hardly missed me as a result of 1. and my kind guest bloggers. Indeed, traffic remained pretty high considering it was August.

Home Again!

February 19, 2008

We’re home again! The reunion was sweet, although the three of us are rather tired. I worked today, while both Henry and Tamasin spent some time sleeping. Unfortunately, none of us slept a wink on the plane! This was the longest I’ve been away from my dear wife, and the longest I have been in [...]

Disney’s Hollywood Studios (Previously MGM)

February 14, 2008

On Tuesday we visited Disney’s answer to Universal Studios. It’s not as big as its rival, but has lots of rides and shows. Fantasmia lived up to its reputation at the end of the day. The Tower of Terror set a mildly horror-based scene which was an irritating distraction to the real basis of the [...]

Sea World and Mardi Gras

Saturday was Sea World day and the Mardi Gras. Tamasin described it as follows in her diary: Today we went to Sea World. Sea World is joined up with Discovery Cove (the place with the dolphins). Sea World was really cool. They had a roller coaster (it was easy but fun) and a water ride. [...]

Wet n’ Wild in Orlando, Florida

February 6, 2008

We learned an invaluable lesson today about vacations in Florida. You really can’t do it all, and you actually don’t want to. Having spent a stimulating and enjoyable day at Universal Studios yesterday, we took someone’s advice and decided to have a day at a waterpark before hitting Islands of Adventure tomorrow. The idea of [...]

At the Airport . . .

February 3, 2008

We’re sitting at Gatwick, having enjoyed what I fear may be our last healthy meal for a couple of weeks! We ate a fruit salad, a chicken, bacon and salad sandwich, and fresh fruit yogurt between us. I may be wrong, but my image of Orlando doesn’t include healthy salads being available. Tamasin is particularly [...]

Review of the Year – The Warnock Family

December 16, 2007

The past twelve months have been relatively stable for us as a family. It is the first year for awhile that none of us have started a new job, or a new school (although Joel did move up from the school’s nursery class to reception). We have not moved, and we certainly haven’t moved church. [...]

Out of the Mouths . . .

September 2, 2007

We had a lot of fun with our American visitors over the weekend. Some of my kids and I went to London with them on Saturday. We visited St Paul’s, the Westminster area, and the Tower of London, which we reached by boat. It was a great day, whose highlight for me was surely the [...]

Photography With a MacBook and iPhoto – Rob Rufus Photos

August 15, 2007

Observant readers of my blog will have noticed that I didn’t post any larger photos of Rob Rufus when I spoke about Together On A Mission and interviewed Rob Rufus. One reason for this was that the snapshots I took while we were together were ruined in my hurry as I had the camera on [...]

Happy 10th Birthday Tamasin Joy Warnock

March 11, 2007

Ten years ago today I was experiencing very similar feelings to the ones I am today. I was exhausted, and in awe of my resilient wife for what she had just gone through. We had also had experienced a bit of concern about the birth which, like little George’s, had been far from straightforward. Like [...]

David Wayne has been my truest and closest blogging friend for what feels like a decade in blog years. My respect for him knows no bounds, and his blogging is the most gracious, yet insightful, I have ever come across. Today I met David, together with his wife and daughter, and became even more impressed. [...]

Joel’s Prayer

August 6, 2006

Hello, Tamasin here! I would just like to tell you a funny story about my youngest brother Joel. Once we all went to the prayer meeting together as a family and near the end there was a time where people were praying for one another. My mum was looking after Joel, and asked him to [...]

A deliberate mistake from Mohler?

February 7, 2006

Over on Together for the Gospel Al says of CBMW: “Randy Stinson does a great job as executive director and Lig as hairman”. I reckon that it was a deliberate mistake and was a joke at poor CJ’s follicularly-challenged state (ie CJs bald and Lig isnt!) I am enjoying their blog more than ever go [...]
