It's a family tradition!

It's been a while since I wrote anything on Tug's Life. I've been so busy it ain't even funny. I'm struggling with seminary work this semester. I've got so much stuff going on at work and church that it is really hard for me to get my focus back. I know I'll dive into it eventually. I doubt I'll make my planned finish date of December 30th though.

I have to go back to stupid Las Vegas this weekend for the G2E tradeshow. I've been the past 4 years in a row and frankly I'm sick to death of it. None of the other application engineers have attended a single tradeshow since I started with the company 5 1/2 years ago. Considering I'm the only one that has a spouse, children living at home, taking college classes, and working a second job, it doesn't seem right to me. Not only does it interfere with my family life but also my church life, worship activities, and study time. Not to mention I totally despise Las Vegas and everything it represents. I don't gamble or participate in all of the lewd activities that go on in that God forsaken city and I would rather be chained and beaten with a whip than to attend the "team" dinners.... I better quit talking about it because I'm getting so mad I can hardly stand it.

So, on to the reason I started writing this post...

The other day my mother took some pictures in her Sunday school class at Union Baptist, where my dad is a teacher. I couldn't help but notice how much we resemble each other. I found a picture of myself teaching my Sunday school class at Highland and then I remembered one of my son teaching my Sunday school class as well. So, I rounded them all up and placed them all in this post.

And, here is one of us at the Coffee & Christ fellowship that we had at my church this past Saturday.
