I haven't updated anything in quite a while. I have realized that the number of things that take up my time vs the amount of time I have is a little lopsided.
Focus away from the family is never good. Work has been a
little more than demanding lately, requiring a lot of off hours attention and sleepless nights.
Church has become an important part of my life and my relationship with God. I have joined the Men's Ministry in an effort to reach out to the men in the congregation and help equip them to be men of God, warriors for a spiritual life. I am also still involved
in the Kids Worship service every Sunday. We alternate every other month with another team so that helps some to keep from getting "burned out".
This year we have a Senior in High School as well as a Sophomore. With the Senior comes Project Grad, a ton of fundraising and working the School Events. You can check out our website
here. In addition we are on
Twitter and
Facebook. We have really taken steps to reach out this year for volunteers and donations.
We are planning several fund raising events , including Trap Shooting, Motorcycle Poker Run, Golf Tournament, and more. It's going to be a wild year. We need to hit the $35k mark to cover it all and have a little left for starting it all off next year
for the next group of parents.
I am still maintaining the website for
Dutch's Firearms and selling firearms on the side.
At some point, I plan to get my Instructors Certification for
CCW courses, but don't see that happening until next year at the earliest.
So, with all of this going on, I still have to find time to meets the family's needs and wants as best I can. The kids are back to school which should be a bonus as they aren't home bored, but it brings it's own level of demand for the
extracurricular activities etc.
We just keep pressing on and wonder what tomorrow brings. With the current political climate and the Socialist agenda being shoved down our throats, one has to wonder where it will all end.
