Brave went for his 2 week check up today. Poor guy had thrush, but that did not stop him from gaining all his weight back and then some. He weighed in today at 8.3 pounds. That is 1 pound 2 ounces more than his birth weight. Good job Big Guy. Okay, so we learned a lesson today: when an infant makes a loud rumbling sound in his diaper, it is best to wait a few minuets before rushing to change the dirty diaper. We changed a diaper a little too early and poo went everywhere.
2 Young men named Alex & Brett Harris got a challenge from there father to spend a high school summer reading some theological writings that painted a picture of applying your self as a Christian and not letting a moment get away. They read "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman among several other thick books and during that summer became very dissatisfied with the American status quo for teenagers. They read of how teenagers in most of Asia spend there youth building a platform that will launch them into adulthood. In reading this the contrast of how American culture makes the teenage years the time to play and live without responsibility compared to the hard and diligent efforts of other cultures during the same years became overwhelming. They decided that they had played enough and it was time to apply themselves to the reading of the word and doing the Hard things one might experience as a believer in Christ at a young age. The brothers started a blog and have started a revolution. They call it the Rebeloution, it is the Rebellion against the low expectations and the party culture associated with it. The also wrote a book Called "Do hard things" I am going to pick up, though I am not a teenager any more, I am going to have at least 3 of them very soon and am sure I will be working with teenagers again in a ministry capacity at some point between now and then. So here is the Book and the Blog
