Had a unique experience last night, I was invited to be a panelist on Craig Roberts Lifeline program on 1100 KFAX-AM. The topic was the relationship between the local church and the city. If you have a few minutes to listen, I think you will find it quite educational and entertaining.

Great article on the use of television in the home
As many of you know, our church is hosting a parenting class this summer. It's been a great success with about 16 families participating. Going through the class again (this is my third time) has been a great reminder of why we do certain things and also a reminder of some things I've forgotten to implement. For me, television can become a huge time consumer...I can find myself wasting endless hours doing nothing but "checking out" in front of the TV. I came across this great article which has some of the most practical rules for television that I have ever heard. Believe me, if you follow them it will help your marriage and parenting. Have a great week!
Did you ever walk into a friend’s home for coffee and conversation and feel overwhelmed by the distraction of a big honking TV, right there in the living room, running some mindless show and competing for everyone’s attention?
Are you constantly worried about what kind of trash Junior might be watching at all hours on the TV in his room?
Is TV the dominant social presence in your home?
Are you afraid to limit your kids’ usage because you’ve tried to go down that road before and it was nothing but whining and complaining and breaking the rules?
If you answered “YES!”, or have any other TV issues constantly in the back of your mind, then it’s time to step up and establish manageable standards and limits in your home. There’s nothing to be afraid of, and a whole lot to look forward to once you get over the hump and introduce protocols that are fair and consistent.
Here are “10 Rules” from All Pro Dad that should help right the ship just in time for the summer break from school.

We Finally Won A Game!
As many of you know, I play basketball in a recreational league. This is my second season of playing and finally this past Sunday we won our first game! I'm not sure if that says something about how good our team is or if it says something about how good our competition is (I'll let you make your own decision).
