    Purpose

    Simply to chronicle my journey at being a Godly, Christian father as my mission. Something I am praying for more fathers to do, consider their being a father as a mission that God has called them into. I am hoping that blogging my struggles in this journey might be used by God to help someone else in similar struggles on a similar journey. Also, I am hoping that by committing to doing this that it will force me to examine my steps on this journey and be more diligent at obedience and seeking wisdom at every turn, i.e. letting go of my selfish desires and giving in to God's desires. READ THIS to hear my story and how I got here now.



    LINKS


    The Vision Forum The top source for the mission I am on at this time. Doug Phillips has been the leading inspiration and guide for us as we try to be obedient to the mission we feel we are called to at this point. Doug exemplifies exactly what we believe is right in this mission and he has made it his life to live that mission and teach and help others to know about and do the same. There are many valuable resources, articles, books, CDs, Doug’s blog, etc.


    Mission of Motherhood My wife’s blog where she relates her perspective on this mission that we are accepting and journeying together.


    Logos Bible Software Packages A bible-study tool that is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It’s software with many, many books in it all cross-referenced and searchable in so many ways. I can’t even begin to tell you all that is included and how it works but you can go to their site and watch videos that demonstrate the tools. It’s a little pricey but I am starting to save for it now as it looks really cool.


    The Rightnow Campaign A ministry dedicated to connecting 20 and 30-somethings to opportunities here in the U.S. as well as abroad. To use their skills and talents in ways they never thought of. To reach people all over the world. Helping people find their purpose. It's a great ministry. They're the reason I went to Kyrgyzstan a couple of summers ago.


    Bluefish TV A site full of bible-study curriculum on DVD as well as hundreds of downloadable clips for supporting sermon’s or small group studies or any other thing you could possibly think of to use short videos to catch the attention of your group and to support your lesson/message. The clips are ALL $1.99. Can’t beat that.


    Business as Mission Blog A great resource for running your business as a mission. The blog’s motto: Discussing how good business can become a great ministry.

    Pregnant

    My wife is pregnant with #6. At the same time I have a friend at work whose wife is pregnant with their first. We found out at the same time and he (jokingly) said I stole his thunder with my announcement of #6. I told him that #1 carried much more weight in the announcement category than #6 to most people. People just stare at me and I can hear them saying in their heads, "What's wrong with these people?" Then they say out loud, "Don't you know what causes that?" or "How many is that, twenty?" Yeah, I have heard them all. It's funny how most people can't comprehend more than two or three kids in a family. Heh, I used to be one of those who couldn't comprehend it. Remember, I am the guy who would've just gone on without any kids or would've just stopped after one or maybe two when they did come. But I would've missed out on the blessings that I have received from all of my kids. As my wife says the more kids we have, the holier we get. Sanctification through parenting... who knew? :)
