Screech's Life Observations

Chess with Conner (From Other Blog)

So I found out two nights ago that Conner has taught himself chess. I knew he'd been playing chess on the computer, but I didn't think he was learning. He proudly showed me how the rook, bishop, knight, queen, and pawn all move. So, last night I played a game of chess with him after work. His mom watched while he and I played and talked about the game.

6-Year-Old's Chess

My son, Conner, and I played our first game of chess last night. Of course, when I got started I figured that it would be associated with a lot of random moves and interesting variations on the rules. I was very surprised and impressed with him...

Old Friends and Surprises

Years ago, while growing up, I had a friend named Don. He was a quiet, shy chap, but always had people's best interests at heart. He always did his best to be spiritually minded, and I remember that given the choice of maybe violating his conscience on something or simply staying away from it, he chose to stay away.

Reputations

Jesus said that we would know his people by the fruit of their works. He also said that they could be identified by love. That is why it is extremely important that Christians display exemplary conduct.

Houseguests and the Bible

So I have been playing host to my sister-in-law and her three kids off and on for a few weeks now. I don't mind because they are well-behaved and a real credit to their mother, who is very respectful of my home and helps around the house. The reason she has to come here has me a bit steamed, but with a lot of prayer and a few Scriptures (and lots and lots of Holy Spirit), I have been able to keep my calm and help her and her kids endure.

I find it intersting that most people would never have known this....It's too mundane...
