Another great day the Lord has made! Family Life has been a real good source for our family for many years of listening and learning thru WMBW in Chattanooga and now on line thru One Place in case you miss a show you want to hear- (You can access this on the left in the links)
Well, they have a blog too and you may want to keep it in your favorites. From time to time we will drop in and mention one here.
Today's story they feature is about a current study that shows that Family Meals can counter Eating Disorders with girls. Here is the link:

So real quick into 2008, as men how is your family meal time? Don't feel bad if it hasn't been happening start to plan one then two then three times a week around the table. If you have been having family meal time, please post some ideas you have today for other men. The link in the article will give you some ideas as well...
I love to ask the kids, what was your favorite thing of today and listen, also it is always interesting to see who wants to lead the prayer at the table and exactly where their heart is when they pray and that can lead to why did you select that topic.
This week our family devotional time is also focusing on bible passages from Sunday nights's service on "Loving Our Neighbors..Outside the Family." Studying Luke 15 1-3 and 3-7 to discuss those with the kids and how they can use their spiritual gifts within the body to be light and then to reach out to those around them. I love what Spurgeon said about those passages. He said that Jesus was approachable. Wasn't he though?
Good question for men. Are we approachable? with our family? with the people with work with? at church? How do you and I get better at that?
It is now secured and Woodland Park will be having former major league pitcher Don Gordon speak on Saturday, March 30th. Details will be coming soon on the venue and event details. Don is now working with SCORE International and we are glad to have him come and share his testimony and tell us about how discipleship has changed him and several major leaguers he is discipling.

Debi and I have a family tradition since all our kids have grow up, we have a family set down meal every Sunday. I grill and Debi cooks the other stuff. Our kids visit with us as we prepare the meal and it has kept us close. Great time of influence for Debi and I, and we value it greatly.
Great question Hank, and one men need to consider!
As the kids were growing up we always ate around the table together(daily).
