Wisdom from Generations of Christian Fathering

This is a great summary post. The man knows of what he speaks. I'm so far from this ideal now...

OK let me see if this works. Maybe I will pick up on the blogging for fun. Everyone else seems to be doing it. Maybe I should too.

My Dad is 60 years old now. He's actually pretty fit for a 60 year old. Despite all his aches and pains he would still have a fairly good chance of schooling me on the basketball court. This is a picture of him when he was much younger. I often wish we lived closer together so that we could spend more time with each other.

I love this picture

B and N

I have long held that 75-80% of parenting is wiping butts and noses.

Where did it go?

Where O where has my global warming winter gone? It has been rainy and cold here for 2 weeks now (where cold is defined as highs <60 and lows <40). Unable to face the rain and 36 degrees this morning, I ran on the treadmill. If we are going to have winter, I would prefer a real winter with snow to play in. Enough with the complaining...

Three Cheers for Global Warming

Here it is Jan 3 and I was jogging in shorts and a long sleeve shirt this afternoon! We are expecting rain tomorrow with a high of 65, followed by a high of 66 on Friday afternoon. This is really great weather. If global warming is to blame, I say give me more of it!

Christmas Eve Eve

Wow, it's December 23rd already! This is the first Christmas at our new Church. We are spending this Christmas in MS so we will be able to go to our own church on Christmas Eve, which pretty much rocks. Vicky and I are responsible for the children's Sunday School. Teaching the kids is about the most rewarding and enjoyable task anyone could have in a church. We were asked several weeks ago to put together a little Christmas pagent of sorts with the kids. We only practiced 3 times and I'm pretty sure most of the kids don't have a clue what they are supposed to do...oh well, it should be funny to watch anyway. Our oldest is pretty excited about the whole thing.
