These 5 things will make your kids say:

“Remember that one Saturday?”
We all get busy.
We’ve all got deadlines
We all only get one weekend

I look back on my childhood and remember these special days where we did awesome things

This thread will help you create one of those “special memories” for your children!
1! Wake them up with a bang!

Start the music and crank it up, get that old boom box pumping the tunes

It can be Metallica or Disney princess songs

the music don’t matter but the mission is to let em know that today is gonna be a good day! Image
2! Plan something special!

Project time with daddy or trip to the lumber yard

Heck, Home Depot has a kids build project every weekend you don’t need to have skills to have s good time

Pick out flowers, pick out a house project, plan a day around fun and bring the kids along! Image
3! Planned Playtime

Shoot bows or ride bikes
Kick the ball or shoot some hoops
Wrestle or trampoline, skate or play chase, grab a board game or their favorite book

The idea is that YOU planned something you wanted to do WITH them

This will create a one-of-a-kind memory! Image
4! Do something you enjoy but bring them with you!

Show them how to smoke meat or grill a steak, take them to pick out the cuts and bring them along

Being a dad doesn’t mean you don’t do what you want, it means you make normal everyday tasks feel super fun for those kids! Image
5! Cap the night off with a bang!

Dad you gotta sell this thing!
“guys just wait we’re gonna build the biggest fire this neighborhood had ever seen!”

I mean this is “sell me the pen” but with lifelong ramifications

Make this the biggest baddest fire ever!

Bolster the memory! Image
Thanks for reading!

Make it that one Saturday they’ll never forget

Don’t just do weekend things! Really do those things with the idea of fun and happiness

Make it special for those kids!

5 Things I learned from watching inmates work out Image
1- REPETITION brings RESULTS

I worked in prison for 8 years

I saw thousands of guys stay fit and healthy while eating prison food
with no gym membership

When they worked out, it was volume and reps that made the difference
Reps bring results

Get the reps in, in life too!
2- CREATIVITY removes COMPLACENCY

The amount of variety that these guys came up with was astounding

They found new ways to bring freshness to the program

From pressing lunch tables to curling mop buckets they always added new elements to mix things up

Variety livens things up

The biggest sticking points for Christians

5 things every believer needs to settle in their faith
There are certain questions in faith that each person must wrestle to the ground

The good news in doing this is that God can handle your doubts, frustrations, and questions

He is in no way surprised by what you think

Let’s look at a few sticking points in faith 👇
1. Suffering

I’ve heard this one more times than I’d like

“how can a God of love allow so much bad in the world?”

The pivot point is deciding if God created the evil or allowed it?

Yin and yang. If good exists, so must evil

If light, then darkness
If love, then hate too

My “I will” statements

8 pillars of masculinity
1: I will rise early and feed my spirit with the Bible, prayer, and meditation creating a deep spiritual connection

This pillar above all others must not be abandoned for it is the axis on which my world revolves
2: I will rise early and strengthen my body

I refuse to become the male this world demands me to be.

I will seek discomfort

If you’re planning on reading the Bible this coming year read this.

A few pointers from 15 years in ministry
Lots of people try to read the Bible

Let’s be honest most don’t make it past Leviticus

Here are the basic principles of Bible study that will help your reading.
1. You’ve got to open it!

Should go without saying but you really need to open the book

Get into God’s word, so God’s word can get into you

A worn out Bible belongs to a life that isn’t

Dust on the Bible muddies the waters of life.

Open it up! It’s for you!
