- AboutHey there. I’m Daniel, aka DanielthePoet… aka Daddypotamus. I’m the author of RenewMyMind.com and ThePropheticLife.com – both on temporary hiatus. When I think of the word “Daddypotamus”, my mind pictures awesome imagery of warmth, cuddliness, ferocity, and patient layin’ in the weeds. That’s me. God is up to something in this family. It began with a Sandra Boynton book: But Not the Hippopotamus. From that cherished story, the Mommypotamus.com blog was born. Four months after that, Daddypotamus.com was born. God is birthing a compassionate, unassuming approach in us toward our community. There is an intentional embrace that is not indifferent as the world is indifferent, but rather this embrace sees the heart of the person and the calling of God in his/her life as infinitely more important than current behavior, political views, or appearances.

This is the best Father’s Day I’ve ever had. There are many reasons why, but I want to highlight a few. My marriage is more wonderful than ever I can’t tell you the joyful peace I sometimes feel when my wife and I are united in love and purpose. It is discovering a fulfillment you didn’t know you longed for. …
The Trial of Discontentment
I woke up this morning and read an old post from John Paul Jackson. The words lept off the screen like they were written just for me. My friend Bob Jones says 2007 was the year of discontent. I say that is too light of a term – it was the “Trial of Discontent.” It was a year of trial …
How Much Compromise is Acceptable to Move Your Vision Ahead?

That quest has taken several drastic turns (from international to stateside, for one) along the way, and we’ve had our share of weariness.
