I've got a date with my daughter in 49 years

Finished your Halley's Comet Commitment posters today and signed them check out the pictures..






So in case you missed it the 3 questions were:
49 years from now...
1- How do you want to feel?
2- Where do you want to live?
3- What do you want to be doing?

My daughter wrote...
1- I want to be happy so I will keep doing things I enjoy.
2- I will live in P.E.I. Canada(Prince Edward Island,Home of Anne of Green Gables-favorite book)
3- I want to have a job that I make people happy and that I enjoy.
All great answers i thought.

Then I wrote...
1- I want to feel healthy so I will eat right and exercise.
2- I will live close to Selena and family.(Hope everyone in family likes P.E.I.)
3- I want to help people and work with Selena.
And of course I hope to be here in 49 years when Halley's Comet comes back.

This was a fun project and I truly will keep these safe and bring them out on special occasions.
You never know what the future holds for our children but, I know I have a date...in 49 years.

Question:
How do you think you and your child would answer these questions?

Tips for Soccer parents to remember from a Pastor

Picked up my daughter from school today and after getting a bite to eat went to Target to get her first soccer ball. She has been wanting to play soccer for a while now, so just to get her started I thought we would get a ball and go to the rec center to kick it around a bit. Soccer was never my sport growing up and my knowledge of it is very limited, but with that being said my daughter is awesome at soccer. She was diving to block my kicks and nailing her kicks into the corners of the goal. So this could be her thing and I need to get ready. I have heard some stories of crazy soccer parents and I don't want to become one. So if you are a soccer novice like me but you have a young soccer player you are going to be watching here are some tips from Bruce Reyes-Chow a Presbyterian Minister, Father of 3 girls and all round soccer dad.  1- It's just a game - He writes about how 10 minutes after losing a game his daughter was making plans to bake cookies later, but he was stil

5 Tips for Fathers on Love and Discipline

I found this post by Judy Helm Wright , a Family Coach and Author, with 6 grown children and 10 grandchildren.   The topic is Love and Discipline, and here are her 5 tips for fathers, with my comment after each. 1. "Be firm, kind and respectful in setting boundaries."  (If you are angry already when telling your kids the rules, it's to late.) 2. "Try to say yes, more often than no. "Yes, you may have a cookie ... right after dinner." (I know this is hard when they ask a million times. So you might want to add what my wife says "Yes, you may have a Popsicle.. right after dinner...if you don't ask me again."  3. "Use logical consequences to correct inappropriate behavior. "If you leave your bike outside on the sidewalk once more, we will put it in the garage for a week." And then do it." (If you are going to talk the talk you got to walk the walk. Back up your words with actions.) 4. "Be a role model for int

Monday Morning After Hurricane Sandy

As most of us get ready for Monday morning and the work week ahead, let's not forgot the people still recovering from Hurricane Sandy's impact. Your Monday morning will be normal, theirs won't be. I found this post by Danni Kay who blogs at  missaleck.com . As of Saturday, she was without power for 6 days and she writes about her gratitude to all those that have helped out the storm victims. There is a short video at the end that she recorded on day 3 without power.  She seems tired, but her faith is strong. At the end of her post she writes, "God is still able."...... Check it out. If your kids have questions on how to help, here is an ABC news  story with links to organizations that are working in the area. Luke 10:33 "But a certain Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,
