Jason Reynolds Life and Times

Burying a Grandmother

// February 3rd, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Community, Family, Family Values, Personal, Prayer

We buried my grandmother on Saturday and my dad asked me to conduct the graveside service. It was a great honor and blessing to do this for my family and my grandmother. Far from a pastor, I admittedly borrowed from my friend David Helbig’s previous memorials and a 1920′s era book titled “The Pastor’s Ideal Funeral Book”. I wanted the service to be formal but personal. Everyone seemed to be happy, so I trust my grandmother would have been as well.

Photos of the Reynolds

// December 8th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Personal

On Saturday evening the Reynolds family had a great opportunity to be captured in the lens of a great up and coming photographer named Jessica Lorren. Jessica is a friend of mine from ministry and I can’t me more excited about her gifts with a camera. We got to the session late and our oldest was as cranky as she ever gets, but some great photos resulted in spite of this.

Dear LazyWeb,

My wife and I are fresh out of girl names and we have a baby due in 30 hours or so (7:30am Est Friday). Just can’t seem to find the right blend of first name, middle name, and last name.

We are thus crowdsourcing the naming of the girl and asking you to give us what you think would be the best girl name for our child. There is no voting going on here, as the naming of our child is not a democracy. That would be impersonal, people. Still, you come up with something better than what we can… and we just love it, and you get the credit.
