God & Seaweed

Christine recently got Caden on film explaining one of his water-coloring projects. When he puts God in the middle of some sea-weed... the explanation turns into pre-school theology.

You will be enlightened on topics such as:
... how Jesus saves our lives...
... what God hates... and...
... how to defeat Satan



If faith is like a seed that is primarily planted and watered by Mom & Dad in the rhythm of home-life... then we've got some work to do.

Superheroes

I think the neighborhood is going to be a bit safer in 2008... now that a couple of Superboys are on the job.



Now let's see your superhero pose.

I'm All In

Today I had a great excuse to get dressed, extra early and hop in the cars with my boys.... All Pro Dads. Aaron Conrad did a great job of gathering a crowd and calling all dads to a higher level of fatherhood.

Aaron... I'm all in. Great work. Good challenge. My kids are the largest part of my legacy and I want to give them my all. They are worth it. Some of the highlights of my days are my conversations with them and Candyland games and building lego's and working on Fighter verses.

But sometimes you need to get together with some other dads and hear the message that... even when all else seems to be going wrong (1) loving your wife and (2) loving your kids are two of the most important ways to invest your life.

Boys to Men

When do boys become men?

How do boys become men?

I've got the questions but I could some help on the answers... and I'm profoundly interested because I am responsible for helping 2 boys become men.

But I think one of the rites of passage along the way has to do with haircuts.... the summer buzz. So on our recent family vacation to Florida I coaxed my wife into letting her babies become boys. And with a $10 pair of clippers we initiated them into boydom with their first summer buzz... a close #2 shave.... and wala... the journey to manhood has begun.

Are their any rites of passage for the boys-to-men journey that you have experienced growing up or will experience with your boys? I'm all ears.
