No it’s not the latest package in the mail… no it’s definitely NOT a baby. But rather the last day of school before Christmas break. For me, that means my kids will be here for almost a week. Which means more to me than anything else that will transpire over the next week. Well, I do [...]

I bet you only celebrate your birthday once a year! Me too. But not my kids… About 10 years ago or so Jacqueline started pointing out her 1/2 Birthdays. She would turn 4 then 4 1/2 then 5 next would be 5 1/2 and so on… Well, this was a big deal for her. So, [...]
“Do you think they can pause the movie?”
Posted: November 22, 2008 in Family, Making memories, Movies, Parenting, Quotes, Random ThoughtsWe went to the movies today. Lori and Jacqueline watched Twilight.

I had a meeting yesterday that was very draining in so many ways. Much time [...]
The greatest thing I could imagine would be for my children to grow up to intimately know Christ. As teens and young adults I would love for them to know and hear God when He speaks to them. There have been times in their young lives they have talked of the things of God and asked questions. [...]
I’m so very tired tonight. I’m literally worn out. I got up this morning not feeling good and as the day has continued… my emotions are now running a bit thin. Too many details as to why. I was driving to a friends house to pick up something and just drove about 4-5 miles past my [...]
I have been thinking about this lately. It could be the series at church that is sparking the interest… could be that Chili burger from Ross’. No. It’s got to be the series…. I mentioned in my Men’s Journey Group the other day about spiritually leading our children and being the dad’s God intends for [...]

I had an experience last night that has not let go. The experience is as fresh now as it was then. It’s a very personal experience but something that impacted me deeply. It’s my desire that this will impact you the way it has me. Each Tuesday night I have the opportunity to spend time [...]
