Be willing to defend your position in life Son

Scene from God's Not Dead
Professors, Preachers, Teachers, Parents, Friends, co-workers… many influences.

 

Going to the movie was designed to stimulate and facilitate your thinking about your upcoming presentation in New York City at MMUN.

Absolutely did not expect to be the one so dramatically influenced.

Am hoping you remember it (some day) as powerfully as we felt it in the theater yesterday.

God’s not Dead.

Never has been.

Never will be.

Be willing to defend your position in life (potentially with your life) Son.

Our lives are intertwined with specific randomness

Dear Son, we are on a very special journey together.

 

Our lives are intertwined with specific randomness.

We all experience the full gamut of life’s emotions.

In different ways, at different times.

Yet we are united in the sameness.

If you can recall the most important conversation you’ve ever had a with teenager, know that it happened yesterday for the soul writing these blogs.

Will celebrate March 9, 2014 every March 9th for the rest of our lives.

Have been experimenting with a couple things the past 30 days

Have been experimenting with a couple things the past 30 days.

  • Not kissing our Son’s head first thing in the morning and last thing at night
  • Not exchanging a bear hug with our Son (13) in parking lot after school

Do the little things make a difference?

Hard to prove, right?

If we always do certain things but start taking them for granted and then stop.

Then is it clear?
