Charles and the Calf

Be sure to take a look at the video below entitled "Charles and the Calf". It's only about 2 min and see if it doesn't bring a tear to your eye.

As you will see, this is a tough boy who was adopted and has struggled with relationships. What a great opportunity for these kids who struggle. Feel free to pass the link along to others!

Her large, liquid brown eyes shine but there is a certain sadness in them as well. You can barely see the scars on her arms...

Anger and Self Talk

One important part of an anger control plan is “self-talk”. Self-talk is the conversation you have with yourself inside your head, in other words your thoughts in response to a situation. For example, if you are deciding whether or not to eat a fattening dessert, your self-talk might go something like this: “Wow... that sounds good ... I already ate way too much at dinner but I am planning on exercising tomorrow ... so I guess I'll go ahead and have it"...

Dads who think they know it all!

Generations of Fathers have trudged through the snow, up hill both ways, learning from experience, the wisdom of the ages. Yet...it never ceases to amaze me there is still more to learn!

Below are a few (somewhat humorous) personal experiences with my own kids and the lessons I learned:

This is an experience I had at my daughters Vollyball Game.

http://www.experienceproject.com/uw.php?e...

This was a somewhat humorous experience with my 9 year old at a school function.

http://www.experienceproject.com/uw.php?e...

This was a day spent with my son at RedCliff Ascent Wilderness program.

Wisdom to live by!

We all "play" roles in life; husband, father, sister, co-worker, boss, teacher, wife, grandparent, friend etc.

A wise man once said, "If our regard for another is based solely on their role; how real is that regard?"


Also, a great definition of Excellence:

”Doing the very best you can, in the situation you find yourself, with the information given.”

Should you gain further information or if your situation changes, the standard of excellence adjusts accordingly.

Lessons from a nine year old!

The morning was cool, the air was thin. Dew on the grass sparkled a million flashes as the sun peaked over the snow capped mountain. April, at 5000 feet above sea level, is a beautiful time of year. The valleys are green with spring growth and the mountains retain their white-tipped majesty...

"Brat Camp" Revisited!

Worried Parents of Britain’s “troubled teenagers” are spending hours searching the Internet to find a radical solution to prevent their offspring spiralling out of control, and with no solution available in the UK……all roads lead back to “Brat Camp”.

USA Senate Hearings On P0rn0graphy

Jeffrey Satinover, M.S., M.D. of Princeton University states;

"Like cigarettes, that particular form of expression we call pornography, unlike all other forms of expression, is a delivery system that has a distinct and powerful effect upon the human brain and nervous system."
