Summer is here and with it come hot weather and yard work. This summers big project for us is demoing a big old shelter in the back yard, and then planting new grass to make the yard bigger. My wife in all her wisdom often reminds me that I'm a lot like a child at dinner time that takes more food than they can eat. I often have multiple projects simply because I will get to a point in the project that becomes a little overwhelming or a little beond my scope of knowledge. I have also been stubborn about asking for help from others on projects in the past. These habits have lead to some pretty funny memories. Just the other day as I was balancing on a ladder about ten feet in the air my daughter Kendra asked me if I needed a reflective time out to think about what I was doing. Good call kiddo was my quick response. I have often pondered on why God chose to give me four women for life long roommates. It was a day like today that I'm shown his wisdom and with great humility that I lack in a number of areas, and my wife and these little ladies pick up a lot of slack that dad leaves behind. Family identities are grown over time. It's a marathon not a sprint.
