I am living on no sleep right now so hopefully this randomness will make sense.
- Friday night was Cheesecake Factory and King Putt with the family. Fun time.
- I took my two girls to serve at City Mission on Saturday morning. It was Ragan’s first time. I love serving with my kids. We were all blessed.
- Spent about 3 hours in the park with the kids on Saturday waiting for a test-run with the helicopter for Egg Drop. Let’s just say it was a wasted afternoon in terms of the helicopter test run. The kids enjoyed playing in the park though.
- We went out Saturday night with Ed & Sabrina Richards to see a Vegas comedian who has hit it big and who Sabrina knew back in the day. It was a fun time but late night.
- I am functioning on very little sleep right now. I want to sleep but it is just not happening. Hopefully the zzz’s will come after Easter.
- Egg Drop is getting HUGE. It is much bigger already than we anticipated. I’ll post some details below.
- Really good Sunday at GP. We had a lot of first-time guests.
- I taught on parenting.
- Two primary thoughts: love your children unconditionally & correct them properly and consistently.
- A few highlights:
“Parenting is the most rewarding and frustrating task on earth”
“Children must know that their parents love them regardless of their actions”
“Allow children to make mistakes”
“Demonstrate God’s unconditional love”
“Conditional love results in efforts to earn love which has devastating consequences”
“Discipline is never done to the child but for the child”
“The purpose of discipline: instructional reconciliation”
“Your children should learn about God’s forgiveness through your forgiveness”
“Discipline helps a child be a blessing and helps create a peaceful home”
“Your child’s opinion of God will be primarily based on how you represent God to them”
- Parenting is another one of those areas where I often feel inadequate to teach.
- We had a huge Egg Drop volunteer meeting after both services to hammer out details.
- Watched some basketball and tried to nap Sunday afternoon to no avail.
- This week will be CRAZY!
- Excited and overwhelmed at the same time.
Egg Drop details to come…
