As the staff of Legacy, we’re required to fill our weekly accountability reports. They are a mix of questions about our week, our relationships and things along that line. I’m not going to lie, sometimes it gets tedious.
But, even in the tedium I still love them. They provide an opportunity to look back on my [...]
Just a warning to those of you thinking of having kids, once you get to the three kids point, a date will be a minimum of $100.
$50 of that is just for the baby sitter.
The rest is just a meal and a movie.
It’s just depressing. So if we want date night once a week, that’s [...]
I’m currently listening to the audiobook of The Shack. I’ve been told by a lot of people it’s great and I’ve liked it so far. One of the ideas put forth is God being proud of the work we do, like a parent of any child would be.
I look at my kids. They bring me [...]
Took a second to look out the window. Found this thing brewing.
A couple of weeks ago I posted about one of my childhood staples, Ecto Cooler.
Well, good news everyone! It’s still available on store shelves today as “Orange Lavaburst.” It’s lost its formerly Slimer-esque green tint, but it tastes just like I remember it.
Today, Tony and I had to appear in court as character witnesses. With both of us receiving less than an hour’s notice we both showed up with what we were already wearing, jeans and a button up long-sleeve shirts (which, by the way, is standard Sunday attire).
Before the judge swore us in, Tony and I [...]
Yesterday we had a security system installed.
So my question is, how do you feel safer without scaring the crap out of your kids? Of course with kids, they ask a million questions during the install. What we settled on was “if you ever hear the alarm go off, immediately get under your beds and don’t [...]
My time these days is incredibly limited. Because of this I’m having to work extra hard to make time with the boys special.
Last night I put all the kids to bed about 9:30. After 15 minutes I woke Colton up and told him to put his swimsuit on. We went swimming at 10PM then headed [...]
Notice the disclaimer in the top right that says this blog is about what interests me. Well this is one of those times, so you’ll just has to stick with me while I remember one of the joys of my childhood…Ecto Cooler.
Today I was walking through the kitchen and a memory of Ecto Cooler popped [...]
Today is June 18th, 2008. Not a particularly momentous day. However, by June 18th of next year I think my life is going to look very different. I’m zeroing in on some decisions that will change a lot of things, hopefully for the better.
This is just a post to mark the occasion so I can [...]
Last December I got to follow my Dad around at work for a day and take pictures. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. You can see some of my favorites below or view the rest of the set here.
I’m writing this on Father’s Day but honestly could write it any day. [...]
I’m sitting here at 12:30AM in the hospital. Becca is recovering nicely and hopefully we’re about to get a few hours of sleep before being discharged in the morning. In case you are wondering, I’ll be sleeping on a recliner made for a person half my height.
Having a surgery is always high stress for everyone [...]
I had a couple of people on Twitter ask to see a picture of my newly cleaned office so here you go. If you’re like me, you have a fascination with people’s workspaces. (If you aren’t like me, that’s probably normal.)
I also submitted the shot to WhereWeDoWhatWeDo.com. I love this site. So many looks [...]
It seems like every area of my life is causing growing pains right now.
The business is going through growing pains.
The church is going through growing pains.
The kids are going through growing pains.
Growing pains are a pain. But at least it’s all because of growth.
I’m not sure what brought this thought on, but it seems like when we’re younger, we survive on raw talent and energy. When we are older, we have experience which tells us raw talent and energy are great but not enough for every situation.
I need to lean on the more experienced around me so I’ll [...]
