June 12

Well, that was a busy day. Woke up and played basketball. Got home, had breakfast, and started in on tearing out our old shower door and replacing it with a new one. I've never done that before and it was decently fun. Took me most of the day.

In the afternoon I took the boys to their soccer camp. Read my book for a while and then ran 6 miles around the soccer field. Took a little less than 12 laps around the property. Got word that River's EEG came back normal, so supposedly his chance of another seizure goes to around 30%. So that was good news.

I discovered through watching the boys they need a lot more Jesus in their lives. I'm not super diligent about sharing the characteristics of Jesus with them because I feel like my childhood was mostly religious in nature so I've been trying to avoid that but my kids are selfish, and can be mean and off-putting and its horrifying to me.

So I'm going to try to have more talk and dialogue of the nature of Jesus and hopefully the "why" of it all.

Disc Golf with Jeff

New dude to the area named Jeff. He's a good guy. Met him playing ultimate a couple months back. He's a thin dude with some cool tats. 40 years young. :) He's pretty articulate and fun to talk to. The other day we went disc golfing together right here in town. It was good time for sure. We got right into it. Started talking about our story in faith. He's much different than I and he had no problem pushing back on a couple of things that I said regarding my thoughts on hell. I was impressed! He was also pretty against imagining that Obama had any redeeming qualities as a president. So yeah, if there was any non-bubble conversation I needed to have, I got my wish LOL. This is one of the guys that I invited to the poker get together so I think I made a good choice. Even after we finished our discussion and round of disc-golf he wanted to meet for breakfast the next day after morning basketball. I couldn't because I had a coffee scheduled with someone. I look for...

Reading and Coffee

Got to bike over to Glas and take some time to read. Started in on this book called "Love Does" by Bob Goff. I think he's good friends with Donald Miller or at least good author friends. I got far enough into the book I think I know where he's going. Looks promising.

In Summary. (what I handed in to John)

Looking back over the past 8 weeks I’m really grateful that I had an opportunity to do this. It was refreshing and energizing in both small and significant ways. The first few weeks I completed small projects around the house that have needed attention for quite some time. It’s nice to enter the house now and not have to think about getting those things done “when I have some time”. I made sure to make time for reading and relaxing as well that first month. I finished the book Blue Like Jazz. Nice read overall. I also got into Tim Keller’s The Reason for God, Bob Goff’s Love Does and a book called The Rest of God which focuses on sabbatical and sabbath. I also got to spend a good amount of time with my kids. Whether it was watching soccer games, cheering them on, playing in the yard any evening of the week or making pancakes on Sunday mornings I mostly enjoyed it. I mean they always find a way to fight about something which distracts from the amazing memorable moment at hand (sar...
