The clock is ticking. It’s only a matter of time. While I haven’t been blogging faithfully, I have been thinking of topics to cover. I’m thinking more and more about using my time online to educate and train my child. With that goal, and with Proverbs rolling around in the back of my mind, I’ve decided to create a series of life lessons for my child. It will be easier to write once I know if I’m speaking to a boy or a girl, but I want to begin anyway because eventually this could mean something to him or her and I want to get a head start.
I’m also hoping that one or two other people will stumble across this blog and find some benefit in these words. I am a firm believer that sharing one’s testimony is a potent method of both teaching and convincing. Philosophical concepts are great, and they have their place, but nothing is as formative and transformational as the word of our testimony.
I am so excited to meet my baby. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I am a bit terrified as well. There’s simply no way to be fully prepared and have all your ducks in a row. I am going to face situations I wasn’t expecting. I have a deep respect for the role of a father and mother in the life of a child. I know that they have far more impact on the development of a child than any school program. I know and respect the reality that I have a God-given responsibility to love and train my children. And this awesome responsibility is why I want to write down some life lessons.
They come to me at odd times - usually when I’m driving or nowhere near a notepad. But they’re important thoughts, experiences, and concepts, and I hope you are blessed by them as much as I will be by writing them. No promises on regularity, though. They come when they come.
