My mom passed in 2008. She was a wonderful person. She loved cooking and growing up she would always have Christmas and Thanksgiving with the family. My brother, sister-in-law and kids and my sister and brother-in-law. She loved to play cards and could remember all the cards played. Even though we didn’t have the money she made our Christmas great every year, even with second hand toys. And oh how she loved birds. We would walk and she would tweet along with them especially cardinals. I miss her every day and think of her constantly especially when I see a robin or a cardinal. Love and miss you mom.

If you have kids who play summer sports, you know what it’s like running them to practices and games, spending money on uniforms and equipment, and maybe even witnessing other parents and coaches losing their cool on the sidelines. Tyler Turner of Athletes in Action Wisconsin talks about how parents can help instill godly values in their children – on and off the field.
