Live A Revolution... Every Day

We've Got A Date with an Elf Tonight!

 After reading Carlos Whittaker's post about this, I had to get one myself. I know it costs $30 bucks. But really, $30 bucks is cheap to make my kids' Christmas memorable. I want to give them experiences where they can look back and say, "Remember the stupid elf you said did recon of us and told Santa if we were naughty or nice..." I've got stories. And I want my kids to have them as well. So tonight, we start The Elf on the Shelf! I can't wait.

What are you doing to give your kids Christmas experiences?

You Can Call Me...

In honor of Granger Community Church's, Get In the Game series, I wanted to let everyone know I've reached the status of Commander in Halo 3 this past weekend. Has a nice ring to it... Commander Ruth.

Nice.

It's Out

It's out today. I guess I'm going to have to go rent it... of course, just to see what the kids are playing these days. ;)

I've Got A Halo On My Head

Ok. It's January 8. And I've already realized something. I have to be extremely intentional about playing Halo 3 on Xbox Live. If I'm not careful, it has the potential to take up my free time. I've noticed that my reading has suffered this last week. What I wanted to accomplish isn't happening. So, in an effort to keep priorities straight, I'm moving Halo down on the list. Don't worry, I'm still working towards upping my rank... I mean, a guy's got to do what a guy's got to do. Right now, I'm a Third Grade Sergeant...

which is ironic, because I'm sure I've got my butt kicked by a number of third graders.

It's a whole new year

 

I love the new year. It signifies fresh starts and new beginnings. With it, there's hope and ambition for the future. I don't make new year resolutions. Too much pressure to get more done. So I just don't make them. I do have some things I want to accomplish like working my way to colonel on Halo 3 for Xbox Live. Ok, so that's a lame goal, but it's what it is. I'd also like to be a more patient father and husband, live more passionately, read more books, and reach some urban inner-city students and families in Elkhart with the love of Jesus. Bottom line, it's a new year. I've got some things I want to see happen. It's a fresh start. A new beginning.

Happy New Year!
