What About Bob

VBS Power Lab!

This week is wild and crazy with over 1100 kids attending our VBS event.

Garden Party

 Arnold “Red” Auerbach once proclaimed, “The Boston Celtics are not a basketball team, they are a way of life.”  Tonight, the Celtics clinched their 17th NBA Title in the Banknorth Garden embarrassing the Lakers with a final score of 131 to 92.  Even Kobe, Gasol or Jack Nicholas himself couldn't deny a room full of Bostonians winning moment in one of the most lop-sided playoff scores in NBA history

Boston's 'big three' of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen stepped up on their home court to lead their side to the huge win - Garnett and Allen scoring 26 points apiece and Pierce with 17 points and 10 assists. Kevin Garnett was obviously speechless at game en interviews.  Garnett and former Celtic Bill Russell embraced and celebrated as fans stormed the courts in Boston.  Paul Pierce received the final MPV for the playoff series.  Ray Allen was on tonight with 36 points including 7 3 pointers which ties the record.  .Awesome team. 

 

Crawfish

Crawfish season is about over.  Eli and I found a place down the street that does an OK job of Crawfish and that's pretty good for Dallas.  Eli had more fun that playing with them than eating them.

Wild Boy on Father's Day

On Father's Day eve, my son asked his mother is he could sleep without a shirt on.  After Brandi agreed, she asked why?  Eli stated, "I just want to be a Wild Boy at home and be free."  And so birthed our Wild Boy son. 
 
On Father's Day morning, Eli enters our family room bare chested and proud.  He jumps into my lap and declares his Wild Boy status, "I'm a Wild Boy now, Dad.  I'm the wildest boy in this family."  Holding back a chuckle, I encouraged my son that he WAS the wildest boy in our family and asked him if he had a name.  "Yes", he proclaimed; "my new name is Mowgli."  And so it was Jungle Book all day today.  I was continually correct many times on my son's new moniker.

After that early morning moment, it wasn't long before Eli and Mom brought out Father's Day gifts and many at that!  At the end of the day I had many shirts, books, and a new pair of sunglasses!  Wow, what a day.  But my favorite gift of all came early that morning when my son jumped into my lap.  Whether it's about Wild Boy or printing coloring posters for his latest book, I'll never tire of his enthusiasm, passion for life and unconditional love.

When God breathed Dads into existence, He gave us a glimpse into that relationship between Creator and mankind.  I'm sure He chuckles a bit at our plans and schemes, but that doesn't matter so much.  What does is that we sit at His feet for a while. 

Dennis Jernigan's "Daddy's Song" is a song that transcends as it speaks to that relationship with our Heavenly Father.  It's a long song so don't listen passively.  Take the time and let it minister to you.
