Marriage and Men: I Peter 3:7

Last night my lovely bride and I watched this powerful sermon by Mark Driscoll. Warning: He's harsh, upfront, and honest. Perhaps to honest. At the end of the video I asked my wife what she thought of the video. She replied, "it's a video every woman should listen to and every guy should watch." I agree.

Look me in the eyes...

As I celebrate 2 years of training I've been trying to refocus and set new goals for myself. Then, I heard this blurb from Michael Jordan and it pretty much said it all.

"Look me in the eyes. Its ok if you’re scared, so am I. But we’re scared for different reasons. I’m scared of what I won’t become, and you’re scared of what I could become. Look at me. I won’t let myself end where I started. I won’t let myself finish where I begin. I know what is within me. Even if you can’t see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am." Michael Jordan

Mark Driscoll: Ashley's Tips for Daddys

Yesterday as Lauren and I were going out for dinner I noticed that "Perkins" was closed down. I'm not going to lie, and this might seem sappy, but I was really sad. Since the girls were very young I had taken them for breakfast at Perkins on our father/daughter dates. The girls would order their "Perky Bear Pancakes" and get chocolate all over their mouth and face. It was a place with a lot of good memories.

Dads, I'm not sure how many of you truly understand the role you play in your daughter's life. Daddy/daughter dates are so important. You set the precedent for the type of person they'll end up meeting some day...scary isn't it? Watch this lil blurb from Mark Driscoll...and...maybe you might want to consider some of Ashley's tips to daddy's....
