Posts about Family Leadership, relating to leading as a husband, and as a father. The best leaders lead their families and lead in the home first, then they are leaders in the marketplace, leaders in the community, and leaders in ministry.
Living in the social media age we get to see into the lives of our families and friends like never before. A quick scroll through my Facebook feed reveals some of the BIG moments my family and friends have been up to. We all share big events, cool things we’ve experienced, and major accomplishments.
I have posted a grand total of two posts on my site over the past couple weeks. My goal is to publish a new post at a minimum every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Obviously I’ve been missing the mark!
Every marriage faces some type of challenges. Sometimes the challenges are big, sometimes small. The same with parenting. When faced with them they can sometimes seem overwhelming. Leaving you with a feeling that you just can’t continue in marriage and parenting.
I’m not sure how we connected. You may have found my blog through a Google search, Facebook, Twitter, or you are a family/friend and I begged you to visit my blog. 
Doesn’t matter how, it just matters that we are connected, and hopefully the connection is as valuable to you as it is me.
Most of us want our children to be great at sports. Who among us would not want our son or daughter to be the next Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Mia Hamm or Annika Sorenstam?

Todat is our daughter‘s 13th birthday. I really cannot believe she is 13! Just like every other parent, it seems like yesterday we were holding her in our arms. I’ve been told the teenage years come with many challenges. Challenges that will test our love for her and her love for us. My hope is we love her unconditionally and always show it, no matter how odd or frustrating her behavior may be.
If you were born before 1990 you are probably very familiar with the “blue pill and red pill” analogy used in the title of this post. This analogy was made famous in the film The Matrix.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been dealing with a choice similar to this analogy in my quest to break free from sleeping late to becoming an early riser. I realized I have to commit to one, late evenings (blue pill) or early mornings (red pill). I can’t have both.
Although I blog and spend way too many hours online via my phone and my laptop, I completely missed the wave of Twitter’s Vine app. Wait, you did too? Well, it didn’t last too long so you didn’t miss much. Instagram Video is now here less than six months after Vine launched. So, will you jump on board, will your family use Instagram Video? What will your first InstaVideo posts be?
Evernote, my all-time favorite app is at it again! If you have followed my blog, you know Evernote is my go-to app for everything. It is the connection to my brain and all the info that goes in and out. Well, now they have added Evernote Reminders to make it even better.
For the past few mornings my wife has allowed me to wake up next to her and my friend Joy. Although my wife doesn’t really know Joy, she has no problems with our relationship. In fact, I would say she wants me to get to know Joy even more. My hope is they develop a strong friendship themselves. This would make my life, my wife’s life, and our family life better.
