Elijah's first snowboarding film

Its winter time

Yesterday, I took Anna snowboarding in Breckenridge.  We had a great time.  Chris went with us to help Anna learn the basics and she is doing really good.  Unfortunately I forgot my camera so I don't have any pics from the slopes.

Today I found a snowboard small enough for Elijah.  I'm pretty stoked because I had thought that he would have to ski since he is so small.  I'd tried to find a board small enough for him and had struck out.  Thankfully,.Burton now makes a size 90 board and its the perfect size for him.  I can't wait to hit the slopes with Anna and Elijah. 

Elijah couldn't wait so he decided to try snowboarding in our basement.  Here he is.

The Way of Wild Heart

Here's a newsletter I recently received from John Eldredge announcing the release of his latest book.  I've just finished reading it and it is by far his best yet.

Friends,

I am really, REALLY excited to announce the release of my new book, The Way of the Wild Heart – A Map for the Masculine Journey .

 

I think you are going to love it. Five years ago I wrote Wild at Heart to awaken men (and women) to what God set in the heart of a man. But this new book is the one I’ve been wanting to write, because it lays out the masculine journey stage by stage, and shows men (and those who love them) how God comes to us and Fathers us into a genuine masculine wholeness and strength. Wild at Heart began the vision; The Way of the Wild Heart provides guidance through the journey. The book is written on two levels. First, for men who find themselves in the masculine journey but needing a guide. And second, for parents of sons (of any age) who want to know how to raise them to be men. For a brief video of me talking about the new book, click on this link:

You can email the video to friends to let them know about the new release.

Would you join me in praying that this message reaches many men, and women, and boys, and that it brings healing to their lives? O, how I pray for that.
                           
Together with you for the hearts of men and women,
 
John
