Familyman Weekly – Thoughts from the Mower
Hey Dad, Well, I’m ready for winter. The Familyman Mobile is covered up, and I chopped up all my leaves with my mower. Actually, that’s the lead-in to this week’s post. God spoke to me on my riding lawn mower.…
Familyman Weekly-No Bemoaning
Hey Dad, I’m dragging a little today after my big birthday celebration yesterday, not that we painted the town (especially at my age)…it’s just that every single member of my family, including me, is under-the-weather. It’s nothing serious, just the…
Announcing 2013’s Christmas Line-up!
Hey Dad, It may not FEEL like Christmas (even though it sure is cold enough where I live)...but my kids have started reminding me daily that it's right around the corner!!! Whether we like it or not, it's time to start planning for…
Familyman Weekly – I Botched the Challenge

Familyman Weekly – Trash Talk
Hey Dad,
Tomorrow’s the big day…no, not our blast-off for the Big Loop Speaking tour*…no, not our two-day spot on Focus on the Family**…this is bigger and better. Tomorrow is our town’s BIG TRASH DAY!!!! (Echo, echo). I can hardly wait to load up all the big junk we’ve been saving for this annual ‘celebration.’ It’s just so…so…wonderful (sniff sniff).
Marbles Matter
Hey Dad,
I’m not a math guy. I don’t do well with fractions, quadratic equations, or pi. I’m OK with counting, but that about does it.
