Here is my Facebook post of August 24, 2019.
Three weeks ago my son, Daniel Capes, died. He was 36 years old. His wife, Jenel Capes, asked us to pick up his ashes. We did so last week. These ashes are all that remain here of the life Cathy and I created in 1983. I realize we are more than ashes, but every experience we ever had of Daniel was in this body. Every sight of him. Every sound of him. Every wisecrack. Every smile. If the Christian doctrine of incarnation tells us anything, it tells us that bodies matter, that the material carries sacredness within every particle of dust and ash. Below is a picture of me at 27 holding my son for the first time. He was only minutes old. Son, you have left a Daniel-sized hole in our hearts, which nothing in this world can satisfy.
In this episode of Exegetically Speaking . . .
Dr. Ron Hayden, an adjunct professor at Wheaton College, considers one of the most ambiguous passages in the Bible, the pronouncement of 70 “sevens” in Daniel 9. He suggests that the ambiguity is intentional.

Here is my Facebook post of August 19th, three weeks after my son died.
In summer 1988 we took the kids to Stone Mountain GA where we rode the train. Here is Daniel Capes, at 5 years, wearing a light blue shirt seated next to his cousin, Lauren Capes Kitenplon. Typical Daniel face. Seated in front is cousin Jeremy Capes and Daniel’s older brother, Bryan Capes. I’m seated behind holding Jordan Capes, with a pacifier, who was about 8-9 months old. We miss you, Daniel. You leave a gap which cannot be filled.
