THE BLOB!!!!

Go-karts, Coasters, and Family Fun

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Many of you probably are just getting back in the groove from Spring Break fun and excitement.  Though I didn’t truly have a Spring Break, I did get to take a little time off last week to spend time with my family.  My wife and I spent the first half of the week hosting her sister and our niece for a few days.  The girls ate Sushi and got pedicures Monday while I worked and then we spent Tuesday together down in Atlanta eating some scrumptious (read unhealthy) lunch at Johnny Rockets followed by a tour of the New World of Coke.  The 4D experience was pretty cool, but the highlight was the tasting room where much to my dismay, we got suckered into tasting the Beverly.  Yeah, I fell for it…  all of the tour guides rave about the Beverly, so you just have to try it.  Well, spare yourself the agony and take it from me, if you don’t like cough syrup, you probably won’t like this one.  At any rate, we did find a few decent flavors to wash down the despicable Beverly, and then left the tour with our cool little 8 oz bottle of Coke.  With our bellies full of Coke, we made the trek back home and settled in to a local pizza hot spot for some great dinner before retiring for the evening.

What’s That You Say? The Time Is Almost Here!

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Winter is the saddest part of the year for us here at Strong Rock.  The grass is brown, the birds fly south for the winter and most of all there are no joyful screams coming from many of you as you run aound the field playing Multimate Frisbee or gather at the lodge to play four square.  There are no counselors walking around with facepaint to show thier tribal pride.  I especially miss the assembly times where the stomping, clapping, and singing can be heard from my office.  Oh how I miss you all.

Parenting Resources: Becoming Like Jesus

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

     Now that the new year has begun, my thoughts have turned to the habits I want to change for the upcoming year.  One of the things I would like to do better is to have a regularly scheduled daily devotional time.  “Time alone” is nearly an oxymoron in our house with four little kids!  Perhaps as a parent you feel this way too.
