This is the B-E-S-T best I have ever seen. It beats many other spiritualized versions.      
Today I am thirty-seven. There were times that I thought I wouldn’t live to be this old. Frankly, it doesn’t feel a day older than thirty-six. In fact, since I have been eating a little (very little) better, it feels pretty good. Update Remembrance for the past year: Thanks to a pretty extraordinary year, I…
We took the girls to the Montgomery Zoo today. Jane was none too impressed with the smell of the Maned Wolf exhibit. The sign read “What’s That Smell”. Apparently these wolves smell a LOT like skunks. The rest of the zoo was better in the olfactory department, although we did wait over an hour for…
I just saw the new Dove Campaign for Real Beauty video (above). They are definitely trying to help with the huge problem girls face in our society. I have two daughters and have already noticed how inundated they are with how they should look. Some of the statistics on the Ypulse site are pretty unsettling…
Cathy worked today so I was back in the daddy vibe. We had a bit of a plan, but I just wasn’t really up to anything big… so we went to the mall. I really miss Orlando’s many places to do something with the kids while it’s hot. Anyway, we are on our way and…
So today I asked Jane what she wanted for lunch. I usually try to give her a choice so that she begins to learn the decision making process. She didn’t think about it long. “Steak!” she replied without missing a beat. Jane has a thing for steak, just like her mother. We usually give her…
You never know what you’re going to get when you have girls like mine. Jane has been in rare form lately. Probably because her sister, Elizabeth, has been sick, and she hasn’t gotten enough attention. Today was a more frantic version of our day. Cathy had to work 8-4 which means that I have the…
There is just something very special to me about being in Birmingham in the Spring. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but it seems to me that it is just more beautiful here than other places I have experienced Spring. And Spring is a special time in my heart. Today I took the fam out for breakfast…
This last Sunday we spent at Shades Valley Community Church. I am constantly amazed at how much they can teach me in one day. It’s not that they have any more profound knowledge than anyone else, though. It’s that they live as they church so much more profoundly than most churches I have been to.…
This morning Elizabeth, who still isn’t saying anything that we can understand, pointed to several letters on a shirt I was wearing and very confidently made the sounds for each letter. So strange. She is going to keep me guessing the rest of my life.
