My Turn!


Oh my goodness... (part II)

Brady had a football game last night.. and oh my goodness.. Forget what I blogg about in the past..

Brady (#75 in your program but #1 in your hearts) seen this kid with the ball running towards him.. I guess the other player thought he was "going to run over Brady."


But "The L-Train" stood his ground and put him to the ground!!.. Now we did have to talk about what he did to the player while he was still on the ground ...I was sort of smiling and proud.. but we still had to talk about it..

After he put the player to the ground.. He proceeded to stand over him and say "Don't get up!" (shhhh I loved it!!!!)

The Shot Heard Around The World


Oh my goodness!!!

We went to Brady's football game last night,.. and Brady was about to tackel this kid from the other team,.. when all of a sudden.. this "monster" of a player (who I was told weighted in at 290 lbs) hit Brady who came off the ground and rolled a good 3 feet.. Then he just laid there...

His mom jumped up and... (well you know how moms can be) But when he got up and look at us in the stands and nodded, we knew he was ok..


Later on that night, Brady and I were talking .. he said.."Dad, that guy hit me hard!!"

Does It Matter?


I am sitting in my office. It is around 6:40pm on Tuesday August 28, 2007. That is correct. It is Tuesday, but does it matter? I have a lodge meeting to go to in about 45 minutes, but does it matter? I had a frozen dinner for supper tonight, but does it matter?
I just went back and fixed all the “dots” that should have been question marks”, but does that matter?

I guess what I am getting at is that for some time now, I noticed more and more people trying to “fit-in” or rush or even stress over the smallest things. When only thing that really matters is that we are here to please God.

I caught my self from time to time recently just worrying over the littlest things instead of trying to “save the world”.. (Or in most cases, make it a little more pleasant for others)

Well this month I had the opportunity to baptize two young kids and another is set to be baptizing soon. I tell you what. You want to get a perceptive on life..
Watch a young child hear, learn and accept Jesus Christ.. That is what matters!

Been A While…


It has been a while since I last posted... I have been busy working on Brady’s room...well; sort of... anyway we are almost done... I am hoping to have it finished this weekend. I am going to work hard on Sat and Sun and Mon and Tuesday..

Anyway I am going to think of something to blogg about..

The L Train

The “torch” has been passed!!.. Brady made the Harrison County Middle School football team and we are very excited!... I knew he would have no problem making it.. But I think the thing that made his mom and me the proudest was that he went to his coach and said that he would either have to leave early or not show up on Wednesday nights, because it was his Bible study time with his youth group at church..

It is nice to see that even though he can be a “typical” pre-teen.. He still knows what his priorities are..


Side note - He is joining his schools FCA (Fellowship of Christian Atletes) way to go Brady Love... I mean "L Train"

Thomas the Train Engine

You want to make a 2 year old smile... Show up with a box that has Thomas the train in it or Percy the mail carrier or even James the freight hauler.. You can’t forget Toby the older steam engine and of course the day is not completed unless you get instructions from Sir Toppenhat.

Well that is how I start my day with Landon.. We get down on the floor and play with the train sets.. But what is even funnier or should I say very cute, is when he says his bed time prayers and includes with mom and dad, are Thomas, Percy, James..

The Art of “Forking”

In my last blog, I had some people inquire on the art of “forking”.. !
Basically, what you do is you get a ton of white plastic forks, and then you sneak up on a co-worker or a “good –natured” person’s house and start sticking the forks (all the forks) in the yard.
You must always have the “prongs” (those stick things at the ends) sticking up...
When done right, it is a beautiful sight!

There you go the art of “forking”

PS... You must use your own judgment on rather or not you will get caught.

Where Does Time Go


I can’t believe that it is almost August! I have to admit that this has been one of my busiest months to date… So let me give you all a quick recap of July 2007

During the first week of July, I took a vacation week!! (Yea, Ministers take vacations – but not from God!) We went to Holiday World, then to Thomas the Train! The second week in July, I was in the office part of the week. We had a trip to the Maysville Water Park! That was very exciting... especially the “storm that just missed us, or when we almost ran out of gas!

The third part of July, I was at Camp Northward!! (iTune Into God)..This was an AWESOME time.. Besides the greatest worship band being there, Lois Lane and myself “forked” someone’s (Kev’s) yard.. Oh yea and Lois “knocked” on the door and ran off!! This was a great time… Way to go Lois!!

And now, finally we are towards the end of July… We went to the Air Force Museum on Tuesday and Friday the kids are visiting a fire house and its men and woman who bravely work there!

Over all it was a great month…But I have to give my top 3 things…

1.. Vacation with the family
2.. Camp Northward
3.. Lois and myself forking someone’s (Kev’s) yard!!

Deep Thoughts


These will give you something to think about... Thanks Jack!


If I could be a bird, I'd be a Flying Purple People Eater because then people would sing about me and I could fly down and eat them because I hate that song.


Once while walking through the mall a guy came up to me and said "Hey, hows it going?". So I grabbed his arm and twisted it up behind his head and said "Now whose asking the questions?"


I think a pillow should be the peace symbol, not the dove. The pillow has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have a beak to peck you with.


If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."


wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person. Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something, like a Johnny Combat little toy guy---something like that.


I think a good product would be "Baby Duck Hat". It's a fake baby duck, which you strap on top of your head. Then you go swimming underwater until you find a mommy duck and her babies, and you join them. Then, all of a sudden, you stand up out of the water and roar like Godzilla. Man, those ducks really take off! Also, Baby Duck Hat is good for parties.


If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.

Are We There Yet


Phew!! I am wore out! Today, I along with some "brave" adults took out K-5th grade youth group to the US Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio.... (about 2 hours away)... So you can imangine the patients of the kids.. But I have to say they did a great job!!..


The museum is a pretty cool place. We visted the "Early Years" , "WWII", "Modern Flight", and the "Space Program". Over all it was a pretty good day..

Camp Week

Well I just finished another year of church camp.. It is around 2:30 in the am and I about to head of to bed.. We get an extra hour sleep in the morning.. Which means I will be waking up in about 5 hours..
I have to say it was a pretty good week over all.. The rain came and went through out the week and the sun beat down on us.. But it wasnt too bad.. My partner in crime "Lois" came and helped out a few days..
I tell you what I dont think I ever remember laughing as hard as I did when we were just hanging out..(Hay-rides, Carpet ball, Forks, knocks on doors, holes in the ground...and so on) that was just one of the many highlights we had this week..

I will post more next time about the "DJ2L" and "The RAVE" I mean Jam Session!!

Arms Wide Open

What a busy week it has been. I haven’t been able to post much, because we were having Vacation Bible School this week. We have a couple of more days left till it is over. I am really enjoying this years VBS, all my workers and staff are doing an exceptional job!! So “Thanks People!!”

Arms Wide Open...
The other day I was going through some music videos getting ready for yet another “True Lies-The Dangers of Music Movies and TV” class. I came across this video I haven’t really seen in quite some time. The song is by a group that was around in the early part of 2000. They were known as CREED...
As I was watching the video to the song “Arms Wide Open” I started thinking about my own kids... (If you never heard the song, it is about a father talking to his unborn son)...Any way, there I am watching this video and all I can think about were my three boys. There is one part in the song that sort of sticks out it go like this.
“If I can have just one wish, maybe one request, I hope he (the son) is not like me,
I hope he understands, that you can take this world and hold it by both hands, and you can greet this world… with arms wide open”

I don’t know how I am doing as a father... I am still new to all of this, in less then 4 years I became a dad to a “pre-teen” a “toddler” and a “newborn” I just hope that they can understand why I do what I have to do and sometimes daddy maybe is too strict, and why I want them to “greet this world, with arms wide open”

Cathy's Dream

Ha-ha check this out- We took the "Toddler Ministry" to a petting zoo today, but I will talk about that in my next post. But I have to share with you the conversation I had with my beautiful bride.
I get home around 5pm tonight from the zoo and picking up Brady from camp, and after I unloaded the van. I was in the kitchen and Cathy was telling me about her dream she had last night.
Everyone knows I am a huge Superman fan, which includes the CW’s and Warner Bros. smash hit Smallville.
Now Landon loves to call me “Superman”, and Kayla (Lois Lane) calls me Clark, ok I sort of make them call me that (ha ha ) anyway, Cathy said she dreamed I had the body of Smallville’s Clark Kent..!!
And she was like talking in her dream saying,”Come here and kiss me!!” (Ha-ha) I was cracking up... Anyway she is going to kill me for saying this... Got to love it!

John 15:13

John 15:13, this is it what I decided to title this, my latest blog entry. Why you ask? Well to fully understand, you have to be able to know what John 15:13 is... so I will give you all a few minutes to look it up……………………..
You see, I been having a bad week, not in the since of bad things all together, just a lot of stress, disappointments and sadness with things in my life. I been having some problems with the city of Cynthiana and its people and today I got some news (that I wont go into detail about-don’t worry the family is fine, I am fine) that sort of “peeved” me off. I was so mad and upset I didn’t know what to do.
So I called my friend Mark, you know, he came right over and sat down and talked with me and was a real friend.
He even came back later on tonight to make sure I was ok...

At first I felt embarrassed to have to call someone. But then I remember how Mark and I hung out and talked before..

I am feeling so much better now; the problem is resolved with the certain situation. But I guess I just wanted to publicly thank my friend Mark...

Thanks Mark for being there... You lived out John 15:13 for me today...
