Dinner and a Bible, aka the funny things my kids say in front of Jesus.

We need to avoid Murphy and his diabolical ways. Take care of the “night happens” or it will become “will happen.”

Inc magazine described good leaders as active listeners. Are you more than a good listener? Are you an active listener?

Let stop thinking as if the Bible is black and white. Parables are not black and white, they are stories of Gods heart. Gods heart is complex and above all things pure. Not murderous or brutal. He cry’s that we can follow him and not the wide road to hell. So read with that in mind. Without malice. Then we will be fine.

Inc magazine has good ideas on problem solving. Interesting that I see the same ideas in the Bible when it extols wisdom.

Dwelling in the past is sad. It’s a miserable way to live. Don’t be salty. Don’t be a basement dweller.

We talk about the exodus today. How the wandering Jews actually saw the Jordan but wasn’t allowed to enter.

So the Sunday message was good, the listening of my my daughter not so good. This confused me when I first read it. When I read it I was a poor kid. Now, after reading and matching to other scriptures, it makes a lot more sense.

Each kid describes empathetic leadership in different ways. Enjoy.

Jesus knew what people needed. That was where his incentives started.

Jesus, Noah, Jonah, Elija, Joseph all had troubles but new there was and is a Big Picture. The message is best heard when we are calm.

We will go through the top traits of Teacher Leaders. How well the story of Jesus matches these descriptions.

Ian taught me something today. Plus, Remy realized I’m not so mean. This is a bit on the harsh side. The Bible is the Bible and I can’t hide what it states from my kids.

Kids choice today. They chose grace from Jesus and honor your mother and father.

We discuss planetary creation. Life creation. Science found in Genesis, if you understand it’s a Parable, you can see the truth in the scriptures about our world.

The kids and Eleanor discuss Genesis and is there room for interplanetary life in the Bible’s Genesis?

The three scriptures doesn’t seem similar to each other until you define the one word Abraham was described as.

Jesus saw us as sheep. Followers of the dumb. He choose to use parables to teach us but we did learn. Then he spent, what look like opportunities, heal both Jews and non-Jews. He went where he wanted or where there was need. I believe he loved the small surprises humanity gave him. Instilling courage that he needed to follow through with his sacrifice to save us all, and give us happiness.

The centurion is an amazing story of people who should dislike each other be very close. Immerse yourself in the reading. All these relationships are just the best.

Humility is a strength and like a muscle, it needs to be used over and over to be made better.

Raising up children is nicely defined in Matthew’s gospel. I enjoy that scripture, but it’s hard to keep the kids attention considering I mention it many times.

Let it be is a great phrase to calm yourself down. It’s Ecclesiastical and it works.

Failure is actually expected by Jesus. He understands completely what temptation and sins we struggle with. Do we learn from it? The people who don’t, they are scary and will dealt with in the end. We all have an expiration date.

We have a future full of words that will be taken wrong. Either originating from us or them. Understand the power of words. Especially if you put yourself down because no one but you can stop that. When you hang around people with angry words, bad actions are going to follow you and others. Be careful with words. We are not God and we don’t know everything. That’s a good place to start.

Life is a good place but eternity is the only place. Make your goal as a name reserved in heaven.

Being children of parents with faith is a challenge for the devil. Time here on earth is fast, the devil can wait for a souls who enjoys everything the world has to offer. Riches, drugs, women, but to those who have faith, he focuses on them. The ones that might escape into heaven. I pray for my kids to be strong in the Holy Spirit.
