If you’re a child of the 80′s or a parent of school-age children, you’ll appreciate this post by my wife.

These two videos were shot last year … the first one when we visited Churchill Downs and got a peek at what it’s like sitting in the grandstand, and the second, a Kentucky tradition with the kiddos.

My little buddy is now 3. And he’s already got a higher vertical leap than his dad.

This video is at once weird and beautiful at the same time. No doubt the music pulls you in emotionally, but there’s something deeper going on here. Could it be that we’re made for human companionship and this kind of unabashed joyful community is what we all long for?

Some of us are still “living in kindergarten” because we’re were afraid to move into the unknown! Maybe this video will give us a gentle kick to move out in faith!

My wife got me hooked on these. Perfect blend of coffee, caramel, and chocolate, with a nutty, salty flavor. It’s not on the menu (the salted caramel hot chocolate is). But try one this holiday season!

Pretty much everyone on my staff is born and bred in Kentucky.  I’m from Iowa.  Today one of our pastors got ready to go outside and said, “I better put on my toboggan,” to which I replied, “That’s not a toboggan.”  So I went to Wikipedia and googled that word and tried to convince the southern folk of what a toboggan really is.  After all, us Iowans … we know snow.  A toboggan is a long sled for the whole family to ride on during those fun winter months (about Oct – March).  What you southerners call a toboggan is really a stocking cap.  Can I get an “Amen?!”

Go ahead … let’s vote on it.  What’s a toboggan?  Is it picture #1 or picture #2?  Please comment.

This is even more funny for me as my two girls have wanted a puppy for quite some time, but I’m not giving in yet.  For now, their little brother (2 1/2) is the “family dog.”

This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in awhile!  Definitely resonated with it.
