Suggestions For Reading

Here are some tips on reading that I gleaned from Dr. Al Mohler, President of Southern Seminary in Louisville Kentucky.

1. Maintain Regular Reading Projects. (Develop different categories of reading)

2. Work through major sections of scripture.

3. Read all of the titles of some authors.

4. Get some large sets and read them through.

5. Allow yourself some fun reading, and learn how to enjoy reading by reading enjoyable books.

6. Write in your books. Mark them up and make them yours.

TV and Your Family

Josh Harris, pastor of Covenant Life Church in Maryland, has a great summary of a blog about TV watching and its affect upon the family. Click here to check it out.

The Pastor's Kids

Gretchen and I decided to take a poll among the children.

The big question was:

What's cool about being the "Pastor's Kids"?

1. We get to play for a long time after church while Dad talks to people.

2. We have a seemingly endless supply of chewing gum and band-aids.

3. We get invited to eat out alot.

4. Sometimes we get to travel with Dad to meetings and conferences.

5. We get lots of birthday cards.

6. We like cheesecake too!

7. "Is Ben C.'s daddy a pastor?"

"No."

"Good. I want to be in that family because they have more brothers there."
