Fathers Day & “CrossFit”

Well today was a great fathers day.  Other than the fact that Jake was sick and Susanna had to stay home with him from church, it was great.  I got home from church, ate lunch, and took about a 2 hour nap while Susanna & Jake went to the store.  So this evening I decided to start my workout program once again.  This time its serious, no really it is.  So a started a program called “CrossFit”.  Its stinkin crazy.  Today with the advice of friend and CrossFit guru Marcus Gafford I attempted a routine called “Cindy”.  I know what your thinking, sounds kinda girly I know, BUT ITS NOT!  I feel like my chest is going to explode and I cant even hold my arms up to type.  This program is the real deal.  Thanks CrossFit.  And thanks Marcus.  And Happy Fathers Day do to all you fathers out there.

Pray?

My wife called me today and said our son did the coolest thing. You see we have been praying as a family before every meal and at bedtime. So today my wife and 2 year old son sit down to eat lunch and before Susanna could say anything Jake says “pray?”. I know he’s only 2 and doesn’t understand but it brings great joy to my heart knowing my son is beginning to learn the discipline of prayer. I pray that he would be a passionate follower of Christ, someone who is dangerous for Jesus. I also pray God would help me be the father and leader he needs to get there.

“Deepening A Father’s Heart”

So I started a new study/devotional today.  Its called “Deepening A Fathers Heart” its by Curtis Jones.  So far its pretty good.  My beautiful wife got it for me for fathers day (a little early I know). Today talked about “A Father Who Is Good”.  Our heavenly father is good and I think sometimes we forget how good He is.  Think of how God has been good to you today and thank Him for it, its good for the soul.
