Theology found in a long, boring car ride

If I could go straight home after work, it would be a very easy 15 minute drive. When I pick up the kids after work, it takes me about 1 hour to leave work, pick up both kids at their separate schools, fight the neighborhood traffic and get back home. It is very easy to feel like a taxi driver, wasting my time driving all over town.

Since when did Wednesday become just another night?!?

My son has started the Fall soccer season. He is in the “Under-7” league now and we have certainly picked up the pace! Two practices during the week and at least 1 game per weekend. I realize this is just the beginning, and doesn’t even compare to what it will be like when he is older. I don’t even want to imagine the balancing act we’ll have in 5-10 years for extra-curricular activities – and we only have 2 kids!

When you teach a toddler to pray…

I have a 2-year-old daughter. That one statement could be met with a variety of emotions – pity, compassion, joyful memories, painful memories, maybe even jealousy!?! It is certainly a challenging – yet exciting – age.

I do not like to procrastinate. Back in college I would finish an assignment with time to spare and start the next project a week early. And then I would sit back and smugly watch everyone else scramble to finish their own work on time.
