Yes, Ironwood Father-Son camp was definitely in 3D. A beautiful, majestic place of God’s creation.
Doesn't count unless you touch the cross.
As the sun peaked over the rooftops of Ironwood, we began our hike to the top of Solider Mountain. There were about 20 of us fathers and sons who arose at 530. Even though the hike was a long, challenging uphill trek through desert, rocks and finally, nearly straight uphill as we navigated through large boulders, we reached the summit and touched the cross. There was a beautiful 360 degree view for miles to the distant mountains. and then a sprint down the sand dunes on the other side to a well deserved breakfast.

1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
From our Point Man book discussion last night. We can either be anorexic Christians, bulimic Christians or Christians made of giant oaks with a large, stable and developed root system to support us no matter the weather of life. Anorexic Christians don’t bother to Read the rest of this entry »
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope. Matthew 8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you…”
We must be ready to adapt to things in life and not become immobile if our plans don’t work out. Life is work and everything doesn’t always work out. But be positive and enjoy life as it comes no matter what happens. No complaining, whining or gloominess. Jesus is here. He wants you to enjoy all the good things in life. You can become a new person and change from the negative to the positive. As the bible says in:
Once again, American Idol has proved it doesn’t promote artistry, but corn syrup fluffy music by eliminating James Durbin. Yes, Scotty can sing. Yes, Lauren can sing. But the only true artists this year were James, Haley and Casey. They actually put thought into each performance. Hey, wait they are performers, not rote singers. It is obvious that AI attempts to influence voters with their not so subtle placement of singers, promotions, etc. The judges, and I mean Randy and JLo, so obviously didn’t want Haley keep moving on it was nauseating. Haleys’ got it, James has got it, Randy and Jlo don’t get it. The voters, what is up with that. The tween girls and their mothers just want ”soda pop” pop music. Don’t try to get creative or we’ll vote you off. Just like last year with Crystal Read the rest of this entry »

Doing book study with some guys from church. We are going over the book Point Man, by Steve Farrar. It’s basic premise is LEAD and your family will follow. As the back of the book states, “… is a trustworthy road map through parenthood, the seasons of marriage, personal temptation, and forging a life of faith in the midst of a corrupt culture.” Farrar says satan has declared war on the biblical family and compares a man, as a father and husband, to being in a state of war, and that leading a family through the chaos Read the rest of this entry »
