I have to continually adjust my direction in life - if not just slightly. I don't want "life" to just happen. I'm making a commitment to connect in a greater way with my kids. Because of all the children we've adopted, it's like we've raised two families. My biological kids are all grown and out of the house. My adopted children are in the house. I don't ever want a empty house.
What is your specific purpose in life right now?
Kalli is having a hard time going to Kindergarten again. (Her teacher highly recommended it.) The kids are teasing her about it. I'm going to go to her school for lunch today. Hopefully that helps. I had to repeat 3rd grade twice. (My Dad died during that year.)
Did you have to repeat a grade when you was growing up?
I like Sundays because it's a "starting new" day. Rest to me isn't just taking a nap. It's totally doing something different. Our schedule is: church, rest in the afternoon and Kim & I go out on a date.
What is your Sunday schedule?
One of my pet peeves is someone telling me to have a sense of humor, just to laugh at their dumb jokes.
What is one of your pet peeves?
I'm wondering why sex has to be in the middle of Homosexuality. I tend to think that being "gay" isn't as much about sex as it is about relationship. My daughter spent several weeks in China and observed this: Girls hold hands a lot. A Chinese friend explained to Alicia that girls holding hands with girls is a Chinese culture and that homosexualit and lesbianism is almost unheard of. Yet if girls do that in America, well we know what they would be labeled. Is America so hooked on sex that that is the glasses we look out of? If a guy acts femine he is labeled "gay". If a girl acts masculine, the reverse does not apply. Have we forced people to take sides just because of our "American" role plate. Are all men expected to act like John Wayne or Clint Eastwood to be a man?
Thoughts? (I'm not looking for whether you agree or disagree with homosexuality.)
Since this is the first day of school, I can tell this story.
When I was a teenager ...
I and two other friends went around town and took "For Sale" signs off lawns. When we had several we put them in front of the High School. Our goal was to find a For Sale - Sold sign. When we actually found it, we discovered the police were circling the school. We had to take the For Sale - Sold sign and put it in the river.

The Mosque at Ground Zero is heating up on a national level. Should muslims be allowed to build there?
Russia has said that Iran's nuke plant will be operational on the 21st. Will Israel bomb it before that time? Should America stand with Israel if Israel bombs?
