A Husband, Father, Youth Pastor, Geek, and Jesus Freak
Last week was camp; it was a lot of fun. I got very little sleep, and did lots of stuff. Yesterday was my daughter’s 8th b-day. We went to the amusement park. It was lots of fun. We played very hard on very little sleep. Ever notice how the more fun you have the more you want to stay in bed for a long time? Seems unfair if you think about it.
I get the occasional email about book reviews, but don't usually take the bait, so to speak. I love reading, but just don't have a lot of time to invest in the kind of reading I feel is important for a solid review. This doesn't mean I'm not tempted and when I was asked to review a book about teens and sex by Josh McDowell ... I just couldn't resist. The official title is The Bare Facts: 39 Questions Your Parents Hope You Never Ask About Sex and it was written with Erin Davis. I didn't … [Read more...]
Just gave the boy a haircut. He’ll be pretty comfy at camp. Now I’m wishing I had sometime to get mine sheered off. Oh well, at least my hair is long enough to put up for camp. Combined with my new shoes I ought to be plenty cool and comfy.
I spent the day at the Apple Blossom Festival. I just want to say that spending all day looking at crafts is not in my top 10, not even close. Normally I will do pretty much anything to avoid it. However, spending all day with my family is in my top 10, even if it means looking at crafts all day. The day was just gorgeous, 70 degrees and sunny. My oldest son was at another event and my …

Some months, well actually years, ago we began a quest for a new to us vehicle. We had certain requirements of this vehicle. It must have room for the family, which limited us to vans, minivans, and certain SUVs with a third row. It also much have better than 25mpg fuel economy, which basically narrowed it down to just tow vehicles. The Mazda 5 and the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. We looked into …

Man look at the alliteration in the title. I think I used the word alliteration correctly, and I'm not really feeling like going through all the effort of typing it into Google. Yep that's just how lazy I have become. Back in the day I would have had to get up, walk over to my book shelf and thumb through real pages to find the word. That was a lot of work but I did it and learned a ton. Now, meh not worth opening a new window and getting the answer in 0.51 seconds. Anyways, this … [Read more...]
“Why is it called hamburger? It’s not from pigs and it isn’t made out of boogers. Those are the stuff up your nose.”
Most of the time being a dad is really cool. Watching your kids learn is an amazing, possibly even a frigintastical experience. Other times it can be really frustrating or even down right scary. I remember when my oldest son was born. He was 10 weeks early, and quite frankly I didn't really believe my wife when she told me we had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night. Fortunately she convinced me and we rushed to the other side of town. He was born before the doctor made it to the … [Read more...]
I don't often participate in the "life is funny" carnival, (read I have never but really should), but I have to share this little story and while it was happening I kept thinking of the "life is funny" carnival. Most kids like to play house or school. Admittedly my kids often play this game. They tend to entertain themselves and listening in usually provides more than a few chuckles. They argue about who the mom is and who is going to marry whom. My oldest is giving the others homework all … [Read more...]
