A Terrible Question

Filed under Uncategorized

Ever get into a funky place where you seem restless, irritable, and discontent? Well, I do.  Sometimes for long stretches, I am sad to say.  And I have found that when I get into one of these grouchy seasons, there is one question that lurks at the heart of the murkiness.  It is a terrible [...]

A Time For Everything…

Filed under Uncategorized

I have always loved this classic song by the Byrds, inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about stress, demands, busyness, self-discipline, entertainment, enjoyment of life and family and work and play, and the intersection of these things.  (Yes, there are always lots of wheels turning inside my noggin.  It’s like [...]

Thanks to my buddy, Hans, for the title of this post. Men of the Baton Rouge area (and beyond), it’s here.  The kickoff of a new season!  Men are suiting up and showing up for battle to show what they are made of, and to take their game to a higher level this year.  That’s [...]

Time to get back into blog rhythm… I’m not even sure where I’m going to go with this post, but I have to write about the experience. My family and I are currently making plans for another Disney World trip. Right now, the primary decisions to made involve rooms – which resort and what type [...]

…and a little child will lead them.

Filed under Uncategorized

These images represent joy.  They are snapshots of diligence and reward.  But most importantly, they are pictures of faith in action! Yesterday, I took Shep on a fishing “trip” to the local YMCA catch and release pond, where I hoped to share a couple of hours or so of good father-son bonding.  I suppose my [...]

Kids’ Sports WAFB Interview

Sorry about the audio.  I’m still trying to figure out the best way to go from my DVR to computer/internet.  This was my first attempt with just a straight video recording of the TV.

Making the Most of Kids’ Sports Programs

Let’s start with two fundamental concepts on which I am building this blog post (and the interview I did on WAFB)… 1. Helping kids develop athletic skill and excellence is a good thing, and I believe it is generally a far better gift to them than just buying them more video games, toys, or other [...]

Parenting Like You Mean It! gut check time.

Picking right up where we left off… On Sunday morning Chemaine wasn’t feeling well, so Shep and I headed off to church in my truck.  Father-son time with our church family.  Worshiping God, studying His Word, building relationships, good coffee, fun play – should be great!  In the midst of singing and talking with Shep [...]

Parenting Like You Mean It! hits home.

(Thanks to my good friend and pastor, Hans Googer, for inspiring me to get back on my blogging horse and ride!) So, basically I have decided I will just hope someday Shep will either understand the value of me using stories about his life on my blog or find it in his heart to forgive [...]

The Gift of Limits – Screen Style

Here’s a little Christmas idea for your kids this year…give them the gift of limits on their screen time. Don’t expect them to jump for joy and sing your praises as if you just bought them the latest greatest video game.  But then, good parenting isn’t all about having our kids sing our praises, is [...]
