What is a father?: Encouragement
http://whatisafather.blogspot.com/2012/07/encouragement.html
What is a father? Having children that's fairly easy. Being a father - now that's hard. Friday, 6 July 2012. This past week we have had our school's. Prize giving evening and when my children were called up for prizes I whooped and hollered for all I was worth. I want to do that I want to put courage in my children. I never want them to doubt that I am 100% for them. And I want to write this to remind myself not to forget it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. This blog records...

What is a father? Having children that's fairly easy. Being a father - now that's hard. Monday, 16 January 2012. OK, it's cold and it's tempting to stay in - but with the boys testosterone rising we have to get them out. So in desperation took them on an ice hunt. Yeah sure they grumbled to begin with but after crunching ice with their shoes and then picking up large ice slabs to bring home (but they never seem to know what to do with it then! They soon cheered up. Sunday, 15 January 2012. This blog reco...

What is a father?: May 2015
http://whatisafather.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
What is a father? Having children that's fairly easy. Being a father - now that's hard. Sunday, 10 May 2015. So we were sitting in a restaurant waiting for the food to arrive and the kids were getting impatient as usual so we needed something fun to occupy them that didn't involve any equipment. So we came up with:. We all join hands together in a circle but hold them under the table (so no-one can see them). One person starts passing a hand squeeze message around the circle.

What is a father?: The humble blanket (3)
http://whatisafather.blogspot.com/2012/07/humble-blanket-part-2.html
What is a father? Having children that's fairly easy. Being a father - now that's hard. Friday, 6 July 2012. The humble blanket (3). Today we played a new game with the blanket. My eldest daughter and I held each end of the blanket and one of the younger children got in it (like a hammock). We then rock it from side-to-side and on the count of three throw them onto the sofa.

What is a father?: June 2012
http://whatisafather.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
What is a father? Having children that's fairly easy. Being a father - now that's hard. Tuesday, 5 June 2012. The humble blanket (2). This very simple activity involves the children lying down on the blanket longways and then me pulling them around on the lounge floor (we have a wooden floor - suspect this won't work for carpet! For the more adventurous whipping them around corners is great fun (bike helmets optional for added protection! The humble sofa (1). Great fun for all the family! This blog recor...

What is a father?: Stickyweed
http://whatisafather.blogspot.com/2013/05/stickyweed.html
What is a father? Having children that's fairly easy. Being a father - now that's hard. Saturday, 25 May 2013. One of the finest inventions is stickyweed - a small plant that (unsurprisingly) sticks to fur or in our case, clothes. So whilst out for a pleasant family walk the aim of the game is to get stickyweed onto someone else back without them noticing and by keeping your back clear. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

What is a father? Having children that's fairly easy. Being a father - now that's hard. Sunday, 18 November 2012. How much do you love me? One fun thing that we do is where I say to the children (although now they say it to me! How much do you love me? And they show me with their hands apart "this much". They move their hands further apart, "this much! And this continues until their arms are outstretched as far as they can go and they declare "this much! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Conversations about church: The Banquet
http://conversationsaboutchurch.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-banquet.html
Conversations as we start up a new community of believers from scratch. Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.but they all alike began to make excuses.The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house. ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.'" (Luke 14:16, 18, 21 NIV).

One of the games we love to play in the bath is bubbly beards. I apply bubbles to my chin and then try to kiss the children and cover them in bubbles. They try to shave my beard off with their hands before I can get them. A fun game that we play is faith which I first learnt from David McInnes who was rector of St Aldates when I was a student many years ago. So I put...
