Dr. Kent’s study continued last Wednesday night and here are my notes. (Photo from Lizzy’s School Program last Friday.) Kids recognize our hurried life before we do. This pace robs us of our ability to impart significance to our children. {My take-away} Plan something each week to do with each child that you will not [...]
JJ and I have decided that we’re going to homeschool Lizzy (2ND) and Ally (K) next school year. The reactions from the critics have been mixed. Most are kind, yet have that “you guys are growing a third eye” look. No it’s not the payments to the private school (though I must say I’m looking [...]
As of last week we have our garden “in the ground”. A few years ago we planted a small garden in an effort to teach our kids about how things are planted, grow, and harvested. However at the time we didn’t have the appropriate tools. We borrowed someone’s tiller to break up the ground, but [...]
Last Night, Dr. Ronnie Kent, started a series at our East Campus entitled, “Parenting with a Purpose.” His experience as a Bible teacher, parent of three grown children, and a pediatrician gives him unique insights into the lives of kids and their parents.

Someone called at 1:30 AM and left us a voice message saying they had some questions about our house that we have for sale here. Needless to say we aren’t calling them back. I got a traffic ticket today for making an illegal turn. The cop walked up to my window and asked “Sir Do [...]
We took the kids fishing at David and Carolyn Bobinger’s house on Saturday. I meet David in 1995 when I started to work for MPC. He had the cube with the view facing the Gulf. Dave would always stare out across his cup of coffee, looking out at the ocean and he would act as [...]
Our oldest daughter Lizzy got a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. I had seen all the commercials and read all the hype, but let me tell you it’s truly a great family video gaming system! We’ve had a blast playing Wii Sports (Included with the console) Wii Play, and yesterday we rented EA Sports Playground all [...]
