Mark Driscoll in the Seattle Times

Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Community Church in Seattle is now in rotation writing a column for the Seattle Times in the religion section. His most recent column entitled, "Miracle of birth illustrates the way God looks after us", was very encouraging to me as a father. In it he says,

"One of my sons kept lobbying that we name him Soup, while the other argued that we should just call him Dude. My youngest daughter wanted to call him Diego because that is Dora the Explorer's cousin and best friend, and watching Dora on TV is the equivalent of a religious epiphany to her. Finally, after all the waiting and praying, our son was born a couple of weeks ago.
He came out yelling and flailing his arms like a Seahawks fan and proceeded to pee everywhere like a sprinkler. To me, he looked like a Gideon so that is what we chose to name him. He was covered in a pasty white film, which caused his brother to remark that he looked more like a glazed doughnut than a Gideon."
