Are you trying to be a Pro Dad?
Just came across an awesome resource for Dads. Its a website called AllProDads. The site is geared towards getting fathers involved in their childrens lives. Tony Dungy is one of the main promoters on the site. In the upper right hand corner there is a link called “Free resources”. There are many articles. I especially liked the articles in the “Top ten” category. There are articles like ten tips for improving as a husband here.

Just came across this good post about family devotions. The one concept that was a new thought to me was that each child should have their own Bible during the Bible reading time. Usually I try and get out the Bible and have all the kids listen. It never occurred to me to have them get out their own Bibles. We probably need to purchase some additional kids Bibles but that is a small price to pay for family devotions. I still need to come up with a “box” to put the Bibles in or maybe a shelf.

Normally mud footprints in the house would not be a good thing. In this case my daughter managed to bring mud in the house and put a smile on my face. Since we didn’t have any finger paints my creative daughter used mud for this artwork. It is so amazing to see how God has gifted each of my children with different gifts and talents from each other. Never a dull moment.
