The Son of the Return of the Blog

It’s been quite a while since my last blog. I’m now wrapping up my 13th of 15 counseling classes and starting to look for my internship. Denise and I are finishing up the latest DivorceCare at our church LakeHills. This year we were joined by Kerry and Diane Pollard of Westlake Hills Presbyterian, a terrific couple with so much experience with couples and those going through this tough season of life. Two alumni Danelle and Greg have been great assistant leaders.

Next session I’ll likely teach Discovering Intimacy, a class to help single adults develop healthy, intimate relationships. The class is based on David Ferguson's (2002) definition of intimacy as to know someone, to be known by someone, and to have a mutual caring for each other.

From the personal side, we now have one son driving (Ian) and another with his permit (Hayden). My library has expanded to include books on raising adolescents. Currently, I’m reading Get Out of My Life, But First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall? A Parent’s Guide to the New Teenager , But First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall? A Parent’s Guide to the New Teenager by Anthony Wolf. Funny and calming.

Here’s to a great holiday season to you!
