Rest for the Weary

"A mother's work is never done." The weight behind these words can only ring true to parents... and for some it is like sitting in the bell tower of a cathedral! As a man, a husband, a father, and the sole earner in our home I can tend to think my jobs and responsibilities are the most pressing.

After a "disagreement" with my wife over the most pressing jobs and responsibilities yesterday I came across this picture on FaceBook. I have to tell you that it was right on time. With all my frustration over my own selfish thinking and my need for my wife to understand my reasoning, this brought some much need laughter.

If I were truly honest with myself, that would be "Daddy" in the picture if he were home with the kids all day everyday. In our "disagreement" yesterday my wife said something that really hit home for me. "George, I don't get a sick day!" Imagine if you will, mommy just giving up even for just an hour. Just look, you have one kid in the fridge, one kid in the cabinets, one kid in the microwave and two plotting something on the floor! That frazzled look on mom we know too well. So, how do we get through it?

Jesus Take The Wheel!

This photo has been popping up all over the Internet. It is a great picture of our relationship to the Lord and the relationship we need to have with our children. The pure look of shock and fear upon this young child's face resembles my our first year as parents.
Now it has been quite some time since my last post on this site. We changed the name but the theme is still the same. So let us catch you up on what has changed on the road of life that has led us to yell "Jesus, Take the Wheel!"
