Its been well over a year since I posted to this blog. I have not really wanted to see my thoughts I guess. I am also kind of sorry that I choose the name "ticked off dad" for my blog because I don't want to be defined by that name. I am ticked off quite a bit but I do have times when I am not so ticked off. With that said I think I am going to start another blog that will have a positive name so that I can post stuff without immediately starting from the negative. I really like to discuss topics, not so I can prove myself right, but to guide my thoughts and challenge them with what others may think about them.
I will keep you posted on the new name of my blog.

Comfortable Times
Don't you just love the comfortable things that come our way. They are almost never planned well in advance, they just seem to happen. They just seem to pop up...a good movie you forgot how much you enjoyed, and comfort food that is prepared just the way you like it, or a song that sends you back to an age or memory that you can almost taste. I just love being home. The kids are getting a little older and able to take care of themselves and not TOTALLY helpless. They are even a little helpful and getting to be allot of fun.
When was the last time you cooked some hot chocolate chip cookies? I am doing that right now and the house smells great. Yea, its a mess after the kids get ahold of them but its worth it. Part of the art of being ticked off is to see things as they are on the surface. Look no deeper than the surface and you see kids with a mess on their face, floor, and clothes. Dig a little deeper and you see the smiles of pure contentment on their faces, listen a little closer and you hear the giggles of excitement as they chew the warm gooey chocolate, watch them a little closer and you will see them as they experience something that brings them joy that you only wish you could experience again.
I just love my kids and the brief moments of clarity that I have with them. I love the fact that God gave them to me to protect, raise, cherish, love and nurture. Wow what a blessing! God help me to appreciate the blessings of comfort that I receive from you.
