Wrestling With God

So when I started this adventure, Cathy was studying the patriarchs of the Bible and reminded me of Jacob wrestling with God. She encouraged me to hold on for the blessing. That seemed like a great little story about how we should wait for God. Well, that story is becoming more real, except for the…

Remarkable Youth Ministry – Evangelism

In marketing, many conversations begin with finding what is remarkable about a product. It is hard to promote a product that isn’t remarkable in any way. By remarkable, I mean that people will find it so exciting that they will talk to their friends about it without being prompted. I have been thinking that this…

AIF – Episode III – Daddy, I Need To Spill

Most of yesterday was consumed with taking care of all of my girls. Cathy had been fighting off a severe sore throat, which took her to the doctor and required a shot in the bottom. Jane introduced me to the many flavors of spillage. For the uninitiated, that is Jane-speak for throwing up. There is…

AIF – Church Childcare

The latest in my “adventures in fatherhood” finds me at church today. We are visiting a church and that means learning a new system of childcare for our children while we are in worship. We have learned several systems through the three years of parenthood, so this is no problem. I am constantly amazed at…

Adventures in Fatherhood

Clarifcation or “I’m The Man In The Family”

Cathy posted about one of our experiences in Alabama this week. It was funny and witty but fraudulent with mis-information. I would like to clarify things just for the sake of manly dignity. 1. I named Jorge, not Johnny 2. I have seen Jorge in his many guises all throughout the week, and he never…

Too Busy Not To Post

Yeah I ripped the title from a book I once read about prayer. So things here have been very busy and I haven’t blogged in a while. Basically, Cathy and I are pretending to be different people. I am pretending to be a stay at home dad (SAHD). Cathy would not call that “sad”. I…
