This is the third post I am doing based on D6 Louisville.  Below you find a description of my plan. I was in Louisville for the D6 Conference on Oct. 16-18.  During that time, I posted several posts from various speakers.  I decided to group those posts based on topic for your convenience.  Below you will find the first of several themed posts from the D6 Conference.   The links in this post are on the topic of parenting.

As a family, talk about what God is doing.  We will not give God excuses. Circles -First circle-perfect shalom of God before Fall; Second circle-Circle over line & circle below line-after the Fall; Third Circles-Two intersecting circle-almond shape eye-kingdom of heaven on earth-We need to live with a foot in each circle (Heaven & Earth) Our Family is like a Tree -Shade for others so that we can better share Christ       When the Lord tells you to do something, we don't say NO.       Prayer Beth prays before she speaks, "Lord, make me truthful, but not impressive."       The mayor gave the key...

Story of Joel-age 4 (praying for food and specifically choice steaks) "God does not just show up, He shows off!" Story of two of her daughters (10 & 12) Agape love is compelled to act.
