Blog Year in Review – Last 4 Months
I’m not going to lie and I have no other excuses…I’m too lazy to go through all of the posts for the last three months of 2010. So, if anyone is even interested, you can review all of the posts from September, October, November and December by clicking on the links below. I blame the whole “week between Christmas and New Years” on my laziness. I’ll be back in 2011 with more posts and more stories of the days of our lives. Happy New Year!!
From My Family To Yours
Several years ago, we looked at the rising cost of sending out a Christmas card each year and decided to make a change. Much of this was driven by the realization that as little as $2 can give someone a warm meal on Christmas Day. We added up our annual spend on Christmas cards and postage and donate that total to Faith Mission of Ohio. We figure that cards end up in a box or the trash and our donation, especially in our current economy, will go much farther. This isn’t to brag or boast. Hopefully it inspires others to do the same. Thank you all for your cards this year.
From my entire family to yours, may you have a very Merry and BLESSED Christmas and New Year!
Blog Year In Review – August
A majority of the posts in August were dedicated to the continuation of my series on 1 Corinthians 13. It was a great journey for me as I took time to break apart each section of “The Love Chapter” and really ask myself if I know how to love. I also was reminded that God is faithful.
I talked about “What Hurts The Most“.
The kids went back to school and “the boy” continued to walk in my footsteps.
But most of all, we looked at love. It’s not self-seeking, easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres.
We also went “Dancin’ in the Minefields“.
One of the more fun posts was the video below.
Blog Year In Review – July
July was all about love. Well there was that little “decision” by Lebron James that wasn’t really all that lovely, but otherwise it was great. I dedicated the month of July to doing a blog series on 1 Corinthians 13 otherwise known as “The Love Chapter”.
Before we got to that, I started by looking at the relationship between a boy and his mom.
I also had a REALLY off day or was it a day off?
We looked at The Dad Life
My family and I had the blessing of being invited to the Tribe Social Media Deck.
We looked at being blessed, replacing the mental filter, talking in defense and moving clouds.
For the Love Chapter, I covered it means nothing, patient, kind, self seeking and rude.
Lastly, I covered the Lebron James decision. Based on statistics, two of the biggest posts of the year were “Son, there’s only one King” and “The Best Decision” which featured the clip below from David Robinson. While Lebron has received a lot of press and attention, David Robinson gave us all a reminder of what should really matter and what’s important.
