The Mournets had a fun day!

tmournet — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 19:13:51 +0000

The Mournets are had a great time downtown as we walked up and down Phillips Avenue. We had lunch at the Philips Diner and spent some time visiting the various shops- up and down the avenue. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a great time. Lucas loved playing with (and in) the [...]

New Beginnings!

tmournet — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 21:07:00 +0000

Well, this is my first attempt at getting back in shape! I recorded this cycling session from my GPS enabled phone! Pretty amazing technology. Anyway, I am hoping to prepare myself spiritually, emotionally, and physically for the “new life” which Krista and I will experience as parents. The physical preparation has been the last of [...]

Snow in April

tmournet — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 20:04:00 +0000

Wow. It is currently snowing – and quite heavily at that. We are currently in our second ‘reading week’ at the seminary. There are no classes, although students (and faculty) spend the week catching-up on some reading or other work which has been backing-up throughout the semester. It has been a good two days so [...]

Becoming a True South Dakotan

tmournet — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 15:38:00 +0000

Kidding aside, hunting is among South Dakota’s greatest outdoor attractions. People from all over the world come to SD during this time of year to walk our fields, farms, and public lands to hunt. Apparently, from what I have been told (without confirming these details…), 150 million dollars are spent by hunting ‘tourists’ during the [...]

NABS Christmas Bash 06′

tmournet — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 23:42:00 +0000

Mark your calendars for DECEMBER 8th!!! Today the secret planning committee for our NABS 2006 Christmas party met for the first time. Of course, for those who are at NABS, the details of our party is ‘top secret’. Well, I could tell you, but I would then have to kill you (kidding of course)! Anyway, [...]

Bye bye Sadie.

tmournet — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 22:55:00 +0000

We had used the ‘crate training’ method of house-breaking which worked so well for our other dog Nigel. However, Sadie seemed to have no desire to avoid ‘messing’ in her crate. The principle behind crate training is that a dog, instinctively, does not like to ‘go potty’ (note the wonderful euphemisms I am employing here [...]

NABS Missions Banquet

tmournet — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 22:45:00 +0000

The NABS community, along with many other guests from around Sioux Falls and surrounding communities, gathered together for the annual NABS missions banquet. What a wonderful time. We had several NAB missionaries participate and several Native American guest speakers. Randy Woodley and Richard Twiss were our featured speakers for the evening. Both of these wonderful [...]

Terence and Krista + One= a growing family!

tmournet — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 09:36:00 +0000

Yes, it it now official. Krista announced during our NABS prayer time this morning that we are expecting a baby! I bet some people were wondering when we would start a family, and now the time is ‘right’ for us to do so. We actually found out during the weekend that my mom visited town, [...]

Service of Lament

tmournet — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 14:07:00 +0000

At times, particularly within ‘contemporary’ Christianity (of which I am a participant), there is a tendency to avoid asking these type of difficult questions. We are deeply indebted to modernism for the cohesive theological systems which form the bedrock upon which our various Christian traditions are based. Many life-hours of work have been dedicated to [...]

Sadie Girl…

tmournet — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 23:32:00 +0000

Sadie was pretty good today. That is, by her current standards. She did not make any ‘mistakes’ either inside or outside of her crate. Perhaps there is hope after all! Tomorrow I have to take her to the vet for her first round of vaccinations. I wish that they had a vaccine to prevent dogs [...]
