First Day of Kindergarten

Calvary Christian School • Friends • Grace • Kindergarten • School

Sep 5, 2008

Two days ago (Wednesday) was Grace’s first day of Kindergarten. She is only doing half-day which is the same amount of time that she went last year to preschool, but it’s still a bigger deal. You drop her off on the playground and the teachers come get them. You don’t check them in or anything. You have to bring snack everyday. They wear uniforms – which are adorable and fun now. I’m sure she will feel differently in five years. I was semi-emotional about it all. Mostly from the perspective that I can’t believe I have a kid in kindergarten. It’s just weird. I’m old and life is moving fast. Here’s some pictures.

Here is Jason, Tim and myself. The proud Kindergarten dads. You like my pretty bag?

Cute pics! Be sure to start a file now for 8th grade graduation, it will be here before you know it. And, if you think you feel old having a kindergartner…try having 2 in high school. I must be ancient!!!

Ministry

Interviews

Well, I skipped Wednesday. Two things were cool about Wednesday. The first was that we had a BBQ at our house for lunch to appreciate John Norton for the last six years of being the elder of Student Ministries at Calvary Church. It was a relaxed and fun time. Then I met with a potential [...]

LifeLab on Spiritual Dryness

I’m teaching our How to Grow LifeLab this Wednesday night at Calvary Church. It’s all about wilderness experiences in the sense of spiritual dryness. I think it will be really helpful for people. It’s so easy to give up or get depressed when we don’t “feel God.” What has been helpful for you when you [...]

Leadership

John Townsend & Empathy

John Townsend spoke at Calvary Church yesterday at a Pastors Forum sponsored by CIFT. CIFT is the Center for Individual and Family Therapy. We pretty much exclusively refer people to them that have needs beyond our own Calvary Life Counseling Center. So anyways, John Townsend of Boundaries fame spoke to a group of pastors and [...]

Ted Haggard at Q

BELOW IS A POST FROM TIM STEVENS’ BLOG. Tim was at the Q Conference which seems like a pretty cool, “edgy” conference. A couple friends of mine are there and yes, I’m a little bitter. The conference had an interview with Ted and Gayle Haggard that was initially not allowed to be public but they [...]

Life

Mexico

Friday morning I left for Rosarito, Mexico for Michael Welles’ bachelor party. We spent one night at the McDowell family’s condo down there. We had the best tacos ever at Tacos el Yaqui. It was seriously amazing. Then we hung out down on the beach at La Fonda before eating dinner at the La Fonda [...]

My Girls

I like these pics Bea took.

Need a New Library?

We moved to Orange in 2003 and by 2005 the city had a new library. Then in 2006 we moved to Irvine and a new library opened up down the street from us that year. Most recently we moved to Tustin in 2008. And today, June 19, 2009, a new library just opened in Tustin. So let [...]

Top 10 Lines from HS Students’ Papers

These are Bea’s Top 10 stupid things that her students have written in papers over the year. It’s hilarious and a little sad. Enjoy. 10. The age of disco was risky. The drugs and sex made people make poor choices in fashion as well as lifestyles. 9. Nuclear weapons cannot be enlightened economically. (the student did not [...]

Issues

Catch Phrase Bible

I just read John 11-14 and I was moved by it. Then a little while later I thought I would blog some about it. I kept looking for bits and pieces that could be an encouragement to you as you read this post. But then I kept seeing how that bit or piece by itself [...]

FaceBook – Tool, Fun or Terror

I’ve heard some buzz about this lately from friends and even speakers at conferences, but it’s the question of whether FaceBook is good or evil (Twitter is a whole other question). A friend had to cancel their FB account because of some major family conflict and needed to go off the grid. That made people ask [...]
