Family Values

Family Values

Back in 2009, as a family, we were blessed to have everyone together. It will stand out in my memory as one of the most wonderful “memory creating” times of my life. Just having all of you together was a feat in itself. Living in our fast paced world and knowing that each of you have different priorities makes it that much more valuable to me. We were able to preserve those few days together and make that time count…

You may not understand

In the early years, I could just tuck you into bed after family night and come back after you went to sleep and pray over you. Now, when you leave our house after family night, I think you know I love you and was glad you were here. I also guess that you enjoyed the meal and conversation.

While those things should tire me out, it really wasn’t the…

I am not sure if the motorcycle ride earlier in the day had anything to do with it, but my very first daughter arrived at 7:37AM on this day of 7/27 in 1974.

Additionally, she bore the names of family…

Engaging Others

Engaging Others

As I head back home today from a week of facilitating QMQ training in Missouri, my mind is focused on getting home – back where things are familiar and somewhat predictable. Yet, each and every trip and training session is one of meeting and enjoying new people with their unique perspectives and skill sets. I always marvel at the variety and differences that God has created in each person. When I first started doing these sessions, I had a mindset…
