KKFT Redeployed

It has been over a week since my last post, and summer as you may or may not have read is in full force. But this week was devoted to the kkft, and just the four of us enjoying some quality time together, even if it did take us across six state lines. Muchas gracias to my bro and the bama girl for taking our girls, they loved time with their cousins very much. And we had a great visit in Phatlanta as well. Excercise, day on the boat, lots of pool time, and time with the family. Much fun.
Then we had a chance to visit maid of honor and her family, much fun there also. But the best part of the time together was going to Soak City and Cedar Point for a three day fun festival. Superstar screaming and making her coaster face for three days was a delight. Perhaps even funnier was the seven year old riding the millenium four times in two days without hands. And the nine year old riding the raptor several times only to want to ride it again and again. It is pretty cool when you can ride rollar coasters with your kids. The smiles and joy of the entire kkft-priceless.

I think I wasn't tall enough to ride the coasters 'til I was about 12 or 13!

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

My Communication Arsenal

Let’s be honest, we all have moments of glory when we are communicating with others, and moments of incredible fall on your face failure.   I for one have always thought I was a relatively good communicator, and my perspective was that I could effectively communicate and engage with a variety of people from different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicity, upbringing, or what have you.   I have been a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, leadership development consultant, school improvement coach/facilitator, and done these things in a variety of areas in suburbia, rural districts, and even in Detroit, Flint, and Brooklyn.   But today, I came across this word arsenal .   I felt as if I was walking down the street of life and a sign with this word was in my path and I walked my face right into it – you know the videos you see online when someone doesn’t see the sign before they run their head into it?   And it was painful.   The pain came from the realization that I have an
