Be ready for God to act.

Not engaging and making an issue of every infraction seems to be paying dividends in improved behavior overall.

They boys are each funny on their own but they can be hilarious together.

A little full-court pick-up basketball with the boys and their friends generates a ton of goodwill. #SundayFunDay #FunDad

Waiting for my daughter to drive home in bad weather held more anxiety than I thought.

We have enough, so we trade our time to get more.

It’s humbling to receive praise from a coworker you didn’t think particularly liked what you were doing.

Fun to be the driver/chaperone on the outing to the symphony, Ford Museum, and “behind the scenes” tour of the Diocesan administration.

Getting a raise and asked to be the next president in January apparently do not prevent getting fired in February! Really!?

And only 3 days severance!? Really!?

I think when they say they want to “understand it” before they do it, they really mean “agree with it”.

It’s really fun to play with the 3-yr-old and see how he thinks but hard to stay in the moment and not get distracted.

The weirdness wears off a little over time – but it’s still weird.

Bad roads and bad weather are a lot less stressful when you’ve already planned to take the day off.

A lot gets done when you stay focused totally on work when you’re at work.

When you have issues with a cause or event, it’s hard to convince others to support it, so don’t take a leadership role, no matter how much the committee chairman appeals to your ego.

Sometimes your shots just won’t go.

The household is sure pleasant when the boys are getting along.

If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t; don’t do it.

I’m going to have to invest in more sport coats if I’m going to have huge sweat spots every time I present.

All men/boys need their desire for greatness validated, but especially 10-14 year-olds.
