Manners are important to civility.

Last weekend my husband and I attended the Wizards vs. Magic game with friends. I didn’t have to watch the big screen on the score board. The players were as big as life right before me! The teams began the game with energy and a sense of purpose. I didn’t recognize a single name on the back of a Wizards’ jersey, but they all played with purpose and passion.

As parents the most difficult thing to understand is why your child would ever lie to you.

Those men risked their lives just to give David a drink of water from his favorite well. It wasn’t an order. It wasn’t even a necessity. It was just a wish.

There are two ways of arriving at the realization of who we are: (1) we can humble ourselves by acknowledging and crediting Gods greatness or (2) have God show us the weakness of our strength by humiliating us.

Our family hunts down roller coasters! We have had the exhilarating experience of riding Kingda Ka, the world’s tallest coaster…multiple times!

From learning to walk to navigating through the pressures of school and friendships, it is difficult to sit still and watch my children struggle.

We are beginning another new year! Fresh ideas of organization, being on time, better grades, and smaller pant sizes dance in our brains!

As we gain understanding of our children’s hopes we see their hearts and are better equipped to help them learn to guard them.
