No, I'm not talking basketball. I'm talking about parenting. With four kids, ive found about 15 minutes to actually watch basketball over the pats several weeks. (I'm not complaining...I fill out a bracket every year but dont usually check it until after the tournament is over anyway.) When I talk about "March Madness" I'm actually talking about the "madness" that comes from the unconditional, radical and _____________ love we have or our children. That love causes us to do some crazy stuff. Love for a...
I am thinking about writing Oprah a letter....asking her to borrow her "O". Over the last 25 years, Oprah has built one of the strongest brands on the planet. With that patented (and trademarked) "O", she has made authors famous, sold millions of books, launched careers, influenced industry, rescued the helpless and raised millions of dollars for thousands of charities. I have an idea...I wonder what would happen if I asked Oprah to let me borrow her "O" for a specific purpose. What is the purpose you...
Well, 48 hours from now I will be in Haiti. I am excited I think, but I am really not sure what I am excited about. I do know that I want to help. I want to encourage. I want to make a difference...
Aaron started school this week. We are working throught the adjustment. It's going okay. One thing is for sure though. Isaac loves it. His "love language" is becoming very obvious to us. I took...
The title of this entry was just to get your attention. Shameless, I know. This entry may not turn out to be one of those "feel good" readings. It may turn out more like one of those “wrecking” readings. One of those things you read and then know you have to do something about. Sorry if that is the case…it was for me. Maybe deep down I really just want you to have to deal with some of the pain I felt after I read this quote by Oswald Chambers. He writes: “You can never be the same after the unveiling...
I am on a quest for knowledge. I want to know God. My actions sometimes probably communicate otherwise, but I do want to know him. Recently I was revisiting a "strategic life planning" study that I did years ago with three good buddies called "Blueprint for Life". The study helped the four of us focus our life efforts on the things we knew God was calling us to do. (It was pretty instrumental in shaping my "Two Weeks Back" Experiment) Some awesome stuff came out of that study for all of us even thought we...
McDonald's is doing something right! Sure, for years they have made our kids happy by producing french fries, all white meat nuggets and "Shrek Toys." They've even added real fruit smoothies, deluxe...
(The above image was taken BEFORE sunrise this morning...yikes!) Twenty three years ago I lived out my short lived dream of being a basketball player. It was the only time I ever played on an organized...
Aaron (my seven year old) learned a hard lesson the other day. He's been saving his spending money to purchase "Silly Bands". I can think of better things for him to spend his money on, but he's...
