Happy Summer!!

It's hot around here, which means it's a good time to do a little reading. I've read a few fiction books this month, which is abnormal for me. One of those books was To Kill a Mockingham, my first time reading this classic.

Hopefully, you get time to relax with a good book. And maybe some good tweets, like these:


From Others

@TGC:  20 years of marriage have taught me much about my own heart and the way in which God works to make us like his Son.

@StudentsFirst:  What the best schools have in common is that they set high expectations for students from day one:

@Gospel_Project:  It is important that we tell ourselves again today that we need the grace of Jesus right now as much as we needed it when we first...

@BRobson90:  Any other desire of our heart will look like rubbish when compared to the immense riches and treasure of having Christ as our chief desire!

@GraceChurchCE:  "God is God. I dethrone Him in my heart if I demand that He act in ways that satisfy my idea of justice." -Elizabeth Elliot 

@ChrchCurmudgeon:  Due to our inability to find VBS clean-up volunteers, tomorrow's wedding will be jungle-themed. 

@JonathanOwens21:  Guys, we are not just "offended" by the Confederate Flag. It's pain. Real, real pain. I wish people would understand that.

From Myself

Thanks to generous church members, I just dropped off a check to provide partial scholarships for 5 kids to attend Long Branch's summer camp. 

I can't believe that & just had senior night, and we forgot to submit this for a memory.

"When teachers believe a student can perform at a high level, the student is much more likely to do so."

Big thanks to for giving its employees time off to volunteer in our community…

We have a dentist that gives out cookies, & an orthodontist that gives out popcorn (& rents out movie theaters for all his clients).

Any Christian who puts his "Southern Heritage" over our identity and unity in Christ, tramples on the gospel.

From my birthday, to my sons and I taking a long-weekend in Arizona -- it's been a good month.

Here are some top tweets from May:

From Others:

@anonbaptist:  Many churches are like the electric plugs in my parent's house: polarized and not grounded.

@MarkMerrill:  Parenting is “heart work.” It’s not just about outward obedience; it’s about the inward attitude of your child. 

@ChalmersCenter:  “Just understanding that our money is God's money, and that He wants us to use it, is powerful.” – Faith & Finances Grad 

@JobsforLife:  “It is a frightful satire on the modern age that the only use it knows for solitude is to make it a punishment..." #NationalDayofPrayer 

@StAugOsteen:  There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future. Crows can’t hang with eagles.

@RayYarmartino:  If we're still using fax machines by the year 2030 I'm pretty sure our planet gets disqualified from the universe. 

@BruceFowler22:  Proud to have 25 players on the SoCon Honor Roll!! Thankful for the effort our players make to excel in the classroom. #OneFurman 

@ScottSauls:  Never trust a preacher who speaks as if the problem with the world is other people. 


From Me:

I just wore jeans to a job interview. Have I given up all hope?

 My son was vacuuming at 7:10 AM.

No, @discounttire sales guy. I've never thought of getting custom wheels for our 16-year-old minivan. #thanksbutnothanks

@DalePartridge:  When you feel like quitting, think of why you started.

@MarkMerrill:  Your biggest confrontations in your marriage should not be with your spouse, they should be with yourself.

@RaviZacharias:  The Cross, more than ever, is necessary to bridge the divide between God and us and between ourselves.

@RayYarmatino:  What in our history of experience with 2D printers/copiers made us think it was a good time to graduate to 3D?

@mitchmillerme:  There is such a thing as over-churched and under-gospeled.

From the DaddyFiles.com (HT: How To Be a Dad):



Makes sense. Except for those of you who keep nasty stuff like that.

Here were some other things I caught or shared on Twitter.

From Others:

@PaulTripp:  Corporate worship is designed to remind you of the instability of your own heart and the eternal stability and reliability of God's grace.

@BJ116:  If 2014 taught us nothing else it should've taught us that the way we approach racism needs to be totally different in 2015.

@JimGaffigan:  When is there going to be an eating contest for Girl Scouts cookies? 

@DJack116:  Worst than an atheist is one who says they believe in God, yet lives as though He doesn't exist.

@WillSamari:  Little known fact: sulfur, phosphorous, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and guacamole are the fundamental building blocks of life.

SamOhhh:  "What feels like struggle and frustration is often skill development and growth." - James Clear

Self-Esteem and Parenting

A lot has been going around about how praising your kids too much can make them narcissistic. I agree, to an extent. What I've learned (through much trial and error) is that instead of praising talent, we should praise:
  1. Strategy 
  2. Persistence
  3. Effort

Furthermore, we need to help our kids learn to esteem God and others more than they esteem themselves (Philippians 2:3-4).

Here are some more thoughts, from an article called When the Obsession with Self-Esteem Creates Unlikeable (and Spiritually Deficient) Kids:
"Our kids should get their sense of worth from our teaching them that they are precious in God’s sight. They should feel loved unconditionally, not desperate to prove to everyone why they should be appreciated. When we allow them to brag, we are solidifying the false notion that we are probably born with that says our worth is based on our performance."
Or, take Jimmy Kimmel's advice:



What do you think? Can we praise kids too much? Or do we just praise kids for the wrong things?

Favorite Tweets for February

Every February brings National Signing Day, when high school seniors officially sign a commitment to play a sport for a particular university, in return for a scholarship.

Not being a great athlete, I never participated in this event.

Oh, well. At least I had these great tweets from the past month.


From Others:

@PlattDavid:  Worship is the adoring contemplation of God as he has revealed himself in his Son & in the Scriptures (Oswald Sanders).

 @AnonBaptist:  BREAKING NEWS: Patriots accused of sending Seahawks home with deflated egos.

@ChalmersCenter:  He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing- Deuteronomy 10:18

@adamon34:  Jesus made himself less. No person or task was ever beneath Him.

@TheFatherEffect:  God gives us abundant Grace. Our kids need the same from us.

@reddawg82:  Props to Coach K for showing respect by wearing a Carolina Blue tie to Dean Smith's funeral.

CaptainObvious:  If you find yourself falling head over heels, you might be in love. You also might actually be falling, in which case you are in danger. 

FirstWorldPains:  I wish every day started with a “previously on” so that I’d know which of my life’s plot points were going to be important that day.

From Me:

I don't get what the big deal is, but here goes nothing...

Favorite Tweets for January


I've been using a journal from Art of Manliness, trying to follow Ben Franklin's model of strengthening my virtues.

Yes, it's quite depressing. That is, I realize I'd be completely hopeless in life if I had to rely on my own ability to be a moral person.

Well, at least I had these tweets from the past month.


From Others:

@PlatoQuote:  Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.

@JeffGoins:  When you seek out criticism are you genuinely wanting to grow or are you just looking to confirm your insecurities?

@MarkMerrill:  One of the best things you can do for your children is to love your wife. 

@theresaromero87:  To devalue any human being is to deny their intrinsic worth as a fellow image-bearer of the Creator. 

@plonkertons:  For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining

@PaulTripp:  There's a lot of failure in your track record, but your security isn't in your success, but in the successes that Jesus achieved for you.

Life is short. Eat dessert first.

It was a busy month for all of us, right? But especially so for the Espinosa family: 2 birthdays, 1 anniversary (15 years!), Hanukkah, and Christmas.

Let's celebrate a wonderful month, and a exhilarating year, in which we saw God provide for us in everything.

@CSLewisDaily:  "In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.” ~   

@PopAtomicStudio:  I'm not saying renewables are bad - they are an important piece of the puzzle, but can't go it alone & do have limitations.

@Lecrae:  Sick to my stomach about the killing of these NYPD officers. More people dead, more families hurting, more division. God help us.

@BobGoff:  Wise men set out to find a baby who God sent to find us. 

@ChrchCurmudgeon:  They call it a "selfie" because "narcissistie" is too hard to spell.

Life Decisions: Pick Two

From the Doghouse Diaries. Can you relate to these life decisions?

One way out is to have an army of children who you then could put to work. Hmmm...


My Commentary:  In this context, shouldn't picking "children" count as two picks?

Perhaps Doghouse Diaries answered their own question with this illustration:

Halloween 2014

I go through this every year. I filter through articles about Halloween and hear feedback about how other Christian families approach this holiday.

This is it for me. I will not write about Halloween on this blog next year. I've probably said and written enough, and I'm sure I've linked to a plethora of other bloggers. Don't believe me? Check out what I posted in . . .

From this, you can tell how we feel about Halloween. It's fun for our children, but mostly we use it as another opportunity to connect with our neighbors and community. We look forward to doing that again this year, especially since we've just moved into this neighborhood 3 months ago.

Want More?

But maybe you can't get enough. So, here are some other great articles I've come across.

Halloween on Mission (Grace Church Kids). Includes a link to another great article from Desiring God.

Halloween Is Not Important (The Resurgence). "Your standing before God doesn’t change depending on what you do on October 31. To be honest, it doesn’t change no matter what you do any day of the year."

3 Tips for Discipling Your Kids Through Halloween (Verge Network). Remember these three crucial parenting principles: 1) Every decision is an opportunity for discipleship, 2) Do not fear, and 3) We are all on the same team.

Halloween -- From a Christian Parents Perspective (Family Matters). "You can choose to set limits on what your family will do or not do (like I do in mine). The Spirit will lead you. The one thing we simply can’t do is withdraw and surrender the day to the powers of darkness."

Where Did Halloween Come From? Can a Christian Celebrate It? (Center for Apologetics and Research Ministry). Just what the title says!

Candy Rapping! (DeStorm Power). OK. This is just for fun. It's your reward for making it through this list of blog posts.



That's a lot of articles! Just pick a couple to read and work through. And then spend time after Halloween thinking and discussing what you'd like to do differently next year.

Favorite Tweets from August

About 8 years ago, we had this picture taken for our church photo directory. Our third child, Sender, was only a few months from being born.

Due to the church growth -- both in the number of new families and in the number of babies being born -- this directory was very quickly out-of-date.

Here's to great memories!

And here's to some of my favorite tweets from the past month:

From Others:

@TolkienProverb:  "A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it." - J.R.R. Tolkien - The Children of Húrin

@mitchmillerme:  Give everything 100%. Except when you donate blood.

 @RaviZacharias:  Is there enough evidence to believe in the existence of God, or is it too much of a stretch?

@MikeGlenn:  Jesus left us no loopholes. Obedience to Him is total -- no exceptions, no excuses... 

@PaulTripp:  Yes, you are called to worship God above all else. No, God will not reject you in that moment when an idol grips your heart.

@HomesofHopeSC:  Big thanks to the 6th graders from 1st Presbyterian helping us do some landscaping at Chicora Crest!

@ASCD:  Regardless of what you teach, try beginning each lesson like with some sort of attention-getting statement:

@MarkMerrill:  Parenting requires prayer, patience, and perseverance.

 

From Me:

"The great irony of minimalism is ... it still makes stuff the focus of your life!"

Had a good morning working with neighbors in a neighborhood yard day. And met some cool folks from @HomesofHopeSC.

@PaulTripp:  The greatest rescue of grace is not from the evil outside of you, but from the power of the evil inside you.

@FunnyIsFamily:  I don't always tell my kids how to dress, but when I do it's because they want to wear fleece to the pool.

@remissional:  Would our world look different if church was who we were always and not where we went on Sundays?

@plattdavid:  Christ calls us to engage culture with a firm grip on His gospel & a fervent passion for His glory.

@JustTweets:  Tolerance is a parody of love. 

@HomesOfHopeSC:  In West Greenville, where we have 110 homes, 61% of residents live below the poverty line. Affordable housing is necessary.

We are wrapping up our season of living in Allendale. We are thankful for so many great memories. And, apparently, some folks are thankful for us.

Here are some of my top Tweets from the past month. You can connect with me at @EspinosaJoey.

By the way . . . beginning next week, I will have a slightly different schedule for blog posts. It won't change this blog much, as I will now be posting on Tuesdays and Fridays (instead of Tuesdays and Thursdays). I will occasionally post on Wednesday or Saturday.

The biggest change will be on my Mission: Allendale blog, which will now have only two posts per week -- Mondays and Thursdays. And, since we will be moving next month, I plan to phase that blog out entirely before too long.

If you don't have any questions about that (you can leave a comment or contact me), on with the tweets!

These are three of the guys that I was blessed to coach on the Allendale-Fairfax Tigers football team. As you can see, they received numerous awards at the athletic banquet.

A couple of days after this picture was taken, Quendrell (left) won the state in the 110m hurdles, You'shi (middle) got second place in the state in the 800m, and Brandon (right) won the state in the triple jump.

They also excel in the classroom and were great all-around leaders. As my family's own season (of living in Allendale) comes to a close, I reflect with fondness at the great things we were able to be a part of here.

I love to look back on great moments. Here a some inspiring ideas from the past month:


From Others:

@JimThompson777:  There are two slopes on either side of pure obedience, wrong motive w/ right action and right motive w/ wrong action. I'm scared of both.

@BackRowBaptist:  Help others avoid the Osteen Kool-Aid by wearing this shirt:

@DOMoore04:  God is using students to build his church. Awesome to watch.

@PaulTripp:  If you convince yourself that you're independently wise you'll devalue the stunning wisdom that spills across the pages of Scripture.

@LifeLimits:  It's great to be happy, but it's even better to bring happiness to others.

@JonAcuff:  Trying to have it all is the best way to ensure you won't enjoy any of it.

 @AllProDad:  "A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society." - Billy Graham

@Gospel_Project:  "For Christians, the Sabbath means we rest in and remember the gospel." -

@billfowlerman:  How sad it is that the US senate leader thinks a football team name (redskins) is morally wrong, but killing children is morally ok? 


From Me:

Sent a replacement phone by . But their instructions were wrong, & I cracked the case. Now they say warranty is void.

"Parents have to work hard to build a Christ-centered home & not a kid-centered home."  

Do you agree? "The breast-feeding push seems to be rampant on Facebook these days."  

"There are no formulas with God. So there are no formulas for the man who follows him. God is a Person, not a doctrine."
