Heat wave

This last weekend was like summer in April. I believe it was close to 90 here in Clairemont. It was actually too hot. Needless to say we did a lot of swimming. My boys spent over 6 hours in the pool on Saturday. That was groovy and all, until we came inside and saw the sunburns. Ooops, forgot the sunblock on April 12th! This video was shot a on April 14th. Micah does well with the arm-floaty-things. His older brothers "help" him in the pool. Good fun.

Kid stuff

Somewhere on this blog there just has to be some Spiderman stuff. Believe me when I tell you that this is only a small representation of my collection. I have literally been collecting Spiderman stuff for 37 years. Yes, I've been collecting stuff long before the three Spiderman movies came out. In fact, I can't even keep up with it all today. As great as it is to see all the Spidey stuff out there, I have to admit it almost cheapens it. It's like Spiderman has prostituted himself out to the masses. Now I just have to be more picky with what I choose to collect!

Halloween Fun

I'm thinking that next to Christmas, Halloween might just be the holiday my kids dig most. They literally squeal with excitement as they run from house to house in their costumes. And of course, we being the responsible parents we are walk along behind them telling them not to run, almost like, “Don’t have any fun.” The best thing about Halloween this year was to see my boy’s generosity as they gave a bunch of their candy to Nicolas our neighbor, who had to stay home last night with an ear infection.

Stuff I've written/contributed towards

I had the privilege of writing one of the chapters for this book: The Voice of Acts: The Dust Off Their Feet: Lessons from the First Church. It is available from Thomas Nelson Publishers. This is a book that takes a look at the first church in Acts and draws lessons for our church life today. My dream is to parlay my thoughts from this chapter into an entire book that draws parallels between the birth of the church and the birth of surfing in California. Now I just need to learn the discpline of a writer to get 10 or 12 more chapter written.

Middle Age

For all you guys out there over 30 and under 50. (Sorry for the small size of this comic, the punch line is, "Middle age sucks, lets build a fort." I can relate and having four young boys helps me stay young. Soon to come to my site, a video of myself and my two oldest boys jumping off the roof into the pool, that is if I can figure out how to add a video to this blog...as well as pull it off unbeknownst to my worried wife. I got a call from Kelley this morning asking me if I had given the boys permission to jump off the top of the slide into the pool. What was I going to do, lie and tell her no? Ahh, the beautiful differences in Mom and Dad. Kelley also tried to once again confirm if I do indeed let the groms jump off the roof into the pool...I just let her vent her disagreement on that one 'cause we ain't about to stop that fun stuff. Sorry Kel...
