BETTER (week four) WISDOM IS BETTER THAN GOLD ·  How many of you have important decisions to make? ·   Date, College, Job, House, Aging Parents, More kids, Stay at home ·   We make our decisions and our decisions make us. ·   Who you are today is a result of decisions made yesterday.  Who you are tomorrow is a result of decisions made today. ·   Solomon became King—sacrificed 1000 bulls to the Lord ·   Lord asked, “What do you want?” ·   What would you ask for? Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?" 2 Chron. 1:10 ·   Didn’t ask for wealth, riches, honor, long life, death of enemies ·   Solomon said, wisdom better than weapons of war, strength, gold. ·   No answer to prayers? Maybe asking wrong question... ·   Relationship / different—wisdom. ·   Financially successful / more money—wisdom. ·   Please God w/decisions / /Rules—wisdom. ·  Good parent / kids obey—wisdom.

The Family Show: Girl Scouts Peaks to Piedmont

Image
Girl Scouts are 2.7 million strong—1.9 million girls and 800,000 adults who believe girls can change the world. It began  over 100 years ago  with one woman, Girl Scouts’ founder  Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low , who believed in the power of every girl. She organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and every year since, they've made her vision a reality, helping girls discover their strengths, passions, and talents. Today they continue the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. They’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs for girls from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to do something amazing. 

Game Review: Spot It

Image
Per Board Game Geek: Spot it! ,, is a simple pattern recognition game in which players try to find an image shown on two cards. Each card in  Spot it!  features eight different symbols, with the symbols varying in size from one card to the next. Any two cards have exactly one symbol in common. For the basic  Spot it!  game, reveal one card, then another. Whoever spots the symbol in common on both cards claims the first card, then another card is revealed for players to search, and so on. Whoever has collected the most cards when the 55-card deck runs out wins! Rules for different games – each an observation game with a speed element – are included with  Spot it! , with the first player to find a match either gaining or getting rid of a card. Multiple versions of  Spot it!  have been published, with images in each version ranging from Halloween to hockey to baseball to San Francisco.

Game Review - One Night Ultimate Werewolf

Image
Per Board Game Geek - No moderator, no elimination, ten-minute games. One Night Ultimate Werewolf  is a fast game for 3-10 players in which everyone gets a role: One of the dastardly Werewolves, the tricky Troublemaker, the helpful Seer, or one of a dozen different characters, each with a special ability. In the course of a single morning, your village will decide who is a werewolf...because all it takes is lynching one werewolf to win! Because  One Night Ultimate Werewolf  is so fast, fun, and engaging, you'll want to play it again and again, and no two games are ever the same. This game can be combined with  One Night Ultimate Werewolf Daybreak .

That Family Show...What IS This Thing?

In a nutshell, That Family Show is all about...Family.  Our desire is to create a fun, safe, and informative web presence that will appeal to kids of all ages. Each week beginning Jan 13th we will have a 20-30 min webisode featuring our community, interviews, reviews, how to's, music, art, games, and lots more.  This endeavor has been created and launched by two dads (myself and Nathan) who wanted a website their kids could enjoy but also would serve as a tremendous resource to parents, teachers, grandparents, babysitters, and anyone else that has or works with kids.

BETTER week three BETTER ONE HANDFUL ·   We all have areas in our life that are good & bad. ·   Been that way for so long we come to accept them as normal. ·   What if I told you those same areas could be better? ·   We settle for life as it is, why? Because it’s normal. ·   We love normal but long for better. ·   Normal is the enemy of better ·   Beth’s questions: What’s your normal and what can you do today? ·   Pray ·   What defines better? ·   As consumers, we have our own definition... If one is good, more is better! ·   More money. More stuff. More activities. ·   Adam & Eve. Satan told them a lie! ·   More is always better—what you don’t have is what you need! IT IS BETTER TO HAVE LESS OF WHAT DOESN’T MATTER AND MORE OF WHAT DOES. Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. Eccl 4:6 ·   Why is it better? ·   It allows us to have a free hand to:  Help someone, give, encourage

Because good is normal. ·   We love normal but long for better. ·   Not just us, God wants us to be better, better than normal. ·   Normal is the enemy of better, normal is easy, normal isn’t getting it done. ·   Beth’s questions: What’s your normal and what can you do today? ·   Financially, Relationally, Physically, Spiritually ·   Let go of the good and normal and grab hold of the better. ·   Pray How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God….10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere: I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wick
