mommy ramblings: California Girl →
lovingmomlife:
I often think about how different Charlotte’s childhood will be compared to mine or Brian’s. We both grew up in small-town Oklahoma, which is quite unlike the urban life of Southern California. At first it made me sad to think of all the things that she will miss out on - a big backyard, climbing…

What I learned during my pool workout
I worked out yesterday in my pool. Here’s what I learned:
1. I can do the breast-stroke all day or because that time period wasn’t tested, at least 5 minutes without stopping.
2. I can do freestyle for 2 laps in my mini-pool.
3. I can do the butterfly for half a lap.
4. I will probably embarrass my children someday when “Gonna Make You Sweat” comes on by C&C Music...

My favorite things about California
Cool nights (even when it’s hot in the IE).
Palm trees.
Piers.
Diagonal street crossings in Pasadena.
Diversity.
Knowing when people cut you off in traffic they aren’t angry.
Cutting people off in traffic and knowing people won’t take it personally.
Bike lanes.
Mountains and Oceans.
dreamed that Japan sunk creating a global catastrophe. I survived with few others. I jacked an officer’s Uzi which helped a lot.

How to lead a bad small group Bible study. →
One of my greatest joys is to help college students learn how to study the Bible and lead a small group Bible study. There are several common mistakes that I use to make in leading discussion. I’ve had to learn the hard way (mainly awkward Bible studies and the size of the group getting really small really fast). Learn from my mistakes and don’t do these things when leading a small group…
