Thanks to the intelligent and gracious feedback from so many kind people who joined in with the Will You Be My Tribe? conversation, I'm ready to announce a new blog series.
[drumroll please]
un-re-hearsed

(of a play, speech, etc) not having been practiced in advance
I might also add off-the-cuff, in no particular order, results may vary. For six(ish) weeks I'll share here -- off the top of my head -- a few practices we may have learned in our twenty-one years of parenting four children.
Chapter 1: Your Kids Were Supposed to Have Perfect Parents.
Chapter 2: Your Kids Are Not Fragile
Chapter 3: It does take a village.
Chapter 4: How to keep your kids from reading too many Bible verses Chapter 5: How to keep your kids from spending too much time at church Chapter 6: Family liturgies for Advent and a confession from an exhausted Dad at Christmas Chapter 7: Family liturgies for Christmas and my mama's rule for feasting Chapter 8: Why we send our kids to a [broken] public school
More to come....
