It has been a while since I have blogged. I have gotten older by a year. I now have to up the age when I get on the tread mill. At least it doesn't say 40 yet. Football season has come to a merciful end. In addition, our feeder high school lost in the first round of the play-offs saving me a trip out west near Lubbock. The only dark cloud in my holiday season sky is basketball. We have our first game Thursday with 8
th grade. If you have ever kicked a large
piece of furniture in the middle of the night with your
pinkie toe, you have experienced the joy of a basketball game at my school. Imagine kicking the same
piece of furniture with the same
pinkie toe 4 times a week for 2 months and 8-10 times for 6 weeks of tournaments in January and February. That is basketball season for me. There are a few funny moments along the way but you know that
settee (I love ours!) or armoire is coming quickly. My wife is so
wonderful for putting up with it (coaching not the settee). I love you so much!
My workouts have been a lot more
consistent than my scripture reading. However, there was a funny moment last night while reading. The passage was proverbs 17:25.
- 25 A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one who bore him.
To fully appreciate the verse, you must read my wife's blog referenced on my page. We laughed and I believe God was trying to say it will be alright, it's just a toilet. The punishment will remain but it is OK, boys and toilets are made for each other. Thanks for Dave in California (and $100) for the new lid. I hope to blog more often this week. I do enjoy it, but it is on the back burner on my commercial kitchen 12 burner stove top of life.

Funny post. I will enjoy our homemade Christmas this year, although we won't be in Kentucky! I love you and am glad you enjoy our furniture so much! ;)
I laughed out loud when I read your verse from Proverbs last night because I had already heard the toilet story and read Jana's blog! No further explanation was needed.
BTW...what's wrong with being 40????
Yes, what is wrong with 40! Except you have 40 more years to go thru joys and sorrows, to get as old as your great-granmother.
And this might be the best Christmas your boys will remember!!!
So glad you and Jana have each other to laugh together about all your children do (good or bad) I can just hear you talking and laughing about this when your 80!!!!!(if you can remember)
Loved your thoughts..both of you. I wished I could undo some of my fresh anger comments to my own three! Praise God for grace and their forgiving spirits! My sons would have not climbed on the lid...they were more engrossed in trying to see who could grow the better urine crystals on their commode rims. They really did that well. Praise the Lord for short memories of bad parenting, forgiving sons, and good health!!
