Memorial Day weapons training

Today, Noah and I took a drive over to Shooter’s Choice to shoot a couple guns. We shot Jen’s Smith & Wesson .38 Special as well as a rented Glock 26. If anybody has a spare Glock just lying around unused, you can feel free to send it my way.

If you ever try to fatally hurt our family and see Noah with a gun. Let me give you some advice. Run. That boy can shoot.

What did you do to celebrate Memorial Day?

Windexing the fishbowl

Life as a leader is a lot like living in a fishbowl. Knowing that people look to you for an example can be overwhelming. It can take a toll trying to live up to unspoken expectations. In fact, it is impossible to live up to everyone’s idea of how we should live.

Early on, Jennifer and I decided that we would live our lives first for God’s glory and second to honor each other and our family. We are not perfect. We mess up. We have bad days. We forgive each other… a lot. And we let our lives be an example of the good and bad. Yet, whenever Jennifer and I minister on marriage and family, some come away with the perception that our example is an unattainable one.

This Sunday, Jennifer and I are going to Windex our fishbowl as we share some of the most difficult, challenging, painful and controversial parts of our past. How far are we going?

We’re going to talk with our own parents before Sunday what we’re talking about. (Go ahead and expect the call.)

We’ll also pray for marriages at the end of both services. Our prayer is that God will use our transparency to bring freedom and healing to many marriages. It’s going to be a day of hope for many, many people.

If you know someone who needs healing in their marriage, do everything you can to get them here this Sunday. In fact, invite everyone you know that is currently married, previously married or ever wants to get married.

It’s going to be an incredible day.

At least he’s wearing pants

I’m loving that Jennifer is now home with the boys taking care of us all. Last night, I stayed late at the church for prayer and did not get home until 8:30. Jennifer grilled corn on the cob and steak on a stick.

They could have eaten much earlier, but the boys wanted to wait until I came home so we could eat as a family. I thought you might enjoy a (somewhat) typical dinner at our house.

What is a typical dinner at your house?
