It is amazing how every year goes by faster and faster.  It seems like yesterday when my first son, Jackson, was born.  Now he turns five in January. It is so crazy.  Having children has really changed my perspective of things.  Just the fact that my wife and I are the ones training and molding these two wonderful boys to be incredible men is mind blowing to me!  There is a great book written by Shad Helmsteader called, “What you say when you talk to yourself.”  It is a must read.  One of the things Shad writes about in his book is a concept of your child being an unprogrammed computer and all they are doing is living out your programming.  So imagine they have a keyboard on their back and everything you do and say are having lasting impressions on your children.  Raising our children is a full time job in itself and hard work.  This is a huge responsibility and I am up for this challenge and loving it.  I recommend you go out and read Shad’s book.  It is one of those life changing books.  There are programs that each of us has in our own minds that were programmed by our parents.  Unfortunately, not all of the programs are good.  Shad also writes about training ourselves, so that we can reprogram some of those poorly written programs in our own human computer.

I hope this letter finds you and your family healthy and happy.  If you get a chance to read Shad’s book, send me a quick email.  I am interested to hear your thoughts after reading the book.  I hope you have a magical 2009! I plan to.

Happy Holidays!
