Father - Son Olympics = Great Time

Dillon and I hit the 2nd Olympiad Games yesterday and had a great
time. So good to see so many guys out with their kids! Bob Gideon
has partnered with All Pro Dads to put on some really fun events over the past
two years - if you missed this one, the Father/Daughter Event is coming in
November.

One of the best parts, besides the pentathalon, was the message short but important message that Steve Solarzano (sp?) touched on --- what legacy are we leaving our boys/kids? That really hit home for me. It got me thinking about the following:
  • How do I react when things don't go so well?
  • How am I modeling how to treat women (in my interactions with my wife)?
  • Is money important to me?
  • Do my kids "catch me" reading/studying my bible?
  • Am I spending enough time praying with them and teaching them about Jesus?

Phew...I know that I need to do a much better job in this area. Thankfully, God knows all the more and will be by my side to remind me to not wait for "teachable moments", but to model 24/7.

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Galations 6:9-10 (ESV)
