Every year on vacation I make a playlist so that we forever associate those songs with the place. It's really fun to be reminded of places through songs. I also use the playlist to introduce the kids to pop music history. If we are being honest, I am learning pop music history too. We usually have things from the 1950's-1990's.  This year's top song was probably Tom Petty's "Free Fallin.'" Other tops songs were "Take Me Home, Country Roads," "Purple Rain," and "Knowing Me, Knowing You." Check it out here .

 A late 30's dad asked me last week what I do for my workouts. Here is what I do 3 days each week: 5:00 warm-up 2 rounds of 5 goblet squats/11 push-ups/2:00 on an exercise bike 10:00 I pick 4 cards from my exercise playing cards. I do them as many times through as I can before the timer goes off. This satisfies my desire for variety. 10:00 I start a timer that beeps every minute. When the timer beeps, I do the assigned exercise and then rest until the timer beeps again.  Monday-4-5 kettlebell snatches with each hand Thursday-double kettlebell 2 cleans/1 press/3 front squats. This is called the Armor Building Complex by Dan John. Saturday-5 double kettlebell clean and presses Test my heart rate and blood pressure. 5:00 stretching I use a stretching plan that I learned in middle school from The Navy SEAL Workout  book. I'm not sure it if is psychological or physical but I don't feel right if I haven't stretched. I do bike sprints on Wednesday too. I did different programs

  We just got back from our third vacation to Williamsburg, VA and Colonial Williamsburg. I feel like I should write a post on Colonial Williamsburg or Williamsburg and what to do and where to stay. I'll leave that for another time. I learned before this trip that George Whitefield preached his first sermon in America there. The picture above is right outside the church where he preached. Since he usually had to preach outdoors because of the crowds, he probably preached 50 feet in front of where I was standing to crowds on the palace green. I found the sermon that he preached (he only had 18 individual sermons that he preached thousands of times) and read it slowly over the week in the mornings before the rest of my family got up. Here is my favorite passage: However lightly you may esteem your Souls, I know our Lord has set an unspeakable Value on them. He thought them worthy of his most precious Blood.—I beseech you therefore, O Sinners, be ye reconciled to God. I hope you do no
