Let the Games Begin

We’ve survived Halloween – at least for this year. Hope the guys were helpful. Normal life awaits us – school and work, home and church, moms and dads, husbands and wives. It’s the day to day stuff of family life that matters most. And that’s what the Family Life Blog is being created for. To help you with the daily stuff – making good decisions, focusing on good priorities, enjoying family to the fullest - living out the Gospel at home.

Each week we want to help your marriage and parenting be all it can be – little bits at the time. We’ll have helpful articles, practical tips, pastoral advice, in what we hope will be an engaging and informative site. We’ll look for the best of what’s out there for families and bring it to you here. And we’ll take what God is teaching us as a local church and work it into daily application.

Our goal is five posts a week – each targeted to a relevant area of family life:

On Mondays you’ll get Wisdom for the Week, a rich quote and thoughts about it to help you start your week off with substance and truth.

On Tuesdays, its Tuesday’s at the Fivebucks, a virtual café chat especially for women. We’ll have women blogging for women on things that matter to you. (Ok, sometimes a pastor will sneak in as well, but we won’t hang around too long).

Wednesdays are Wedded Wednesdays, where we’ll focus on marriage stuff – with both biblical perspective and ‘how to’ advice.

Thursdays are for Practical Matters. This is where we’ll deal with things like managing a home, finances, planning, calendar craziness, and other skills for living.

Fridays are Family Fridays, where we’ll focus on parenting and kid issues – just in time for the weekend!

We’ll also give you an opportunity to interact with us on things that matter to you. Your feedback and comments will help us make this site a great tool for parents, marriages, and families.

So welcome to the Family Life Blog. See you Monday

Minister of Blogging – Family Life
