Tyler@work

Father-Son Retreat

Cameron and I (Jim) spent four days together on a Father-Son trip talking about growing into manhood. We listened and talked about lessons from Dr Dobson’s CDs on “Preparing for Adolescence” including issues like puberty, peer pressure, relationships with girls, relationships with parents, self-image, etc. We also had a lot of fun eating whatever we […]

Line Dancing Nation

Yes, line dancing is popular in Singapore. I think we are in the Guinness Book for the largest line dancing event! The atriums of malls here are usually filled with some kind of “roadshow” advertising products, but today I found this line dance going on when Cameron and I (Jim) visited a mall. Looks like […]
