The Hope in the Middle Podcast with Pastor Alan McGrath - messages of encouragement to help us live in the joy for which we were created.  Find more at hopeinthemiddle.com.

Notes:

  • Family Night - You HAVE to schedule it.  You claim your time or your time claims you.
  • Be patient and flexible with the process of adding a regular night to your schedule.
  • Some of our favorite ideas: watch a movie from a book recently read by the boys, hike and look for bugs, baseball games, bowling, and showing the boys my super old Nintendo system (the OG system).
  • Consider the WHY:
  • #1 - Quantity Time - both quantity and quality are important, not just quality.
  • #2 - Anticipation - The boys really look forward to this special time.
  • #3 - Be Here (See Episode #2) - These are our moments with our kids.
  • For the future - Theme dinners? Have each family member pick the evening's fun (thanks Jessica!).
