glad to see that nobody shares my sense of humor:sad:

Living my dream job as a Navy Chaplain working with Marines. I provide spritiual and emotional counsel, attend ceremonies, provide religious services, and help people find a way when their faith is different than mine. In short, I get to help military members and their families through all the joys and difficulties this…

Yet it is OK as long as you pay him to do it.

What has motivated your son in the past? The rapid changes of adolescence can sometimes slow kids down and cause them to want to sleep a lot. You have to keep the press on, and find out what motivates him to do what needs to be done. Appropriate consequences may be in order.

Three of my four children were born there.:smile:

To answer a few questions that people have asked: I am an Navy Chaplain Childhood holidays were a tug between two divorced parents I currently live in Southern California, but it has even been rainy here for several weeks I want to be better so that my 4 kids have a better memory of childhood Christmas than I do.

I am glad to see that I am not alone, it helps. That was a weird first sentence, being glad that others are having difficulty. That is not how it was intended. It just helps me to feel less alone. I truly thank you all for your responses.

That is a pretty bleak outlook for the next few months...

I don't want to dread this time of year every year. I want to be able to celebrate. In my line of work I need to be able to lead people in this celebration. Right now I feel like I need people to lead me.

Thank you for your well-thought-out response. I will definitely take that advice. I have always meant to journal, but consistency becomes a problem for me. Just need to build in that habit. Thanks.

Did 72 on my semi-annual fitness test earlier this month.

I never had a problem with MapMyRun, but I have also used JogTracker, and that worked as well.

First came in in 1992, so 20+ years. During that time I was out for 3 1/2 years to go to school. I was in the reserves during that time.

I absolutely do this, complete with opening up the doors and treating her like a princess. I have 3 daughters, so they each get their own time, but that also cuts down on how often they each get to go out. In fact, my middle daughter and I are doing this tonight.

I would have to say the Chicken Fajitas.

unless that is appropriate for your job/position/office. You would expect that from a chaplain or pastor.

I am preaching at a worship service with a group of over 200 Marines on Camp Pendleton. One of the main reasons I am on this site is so that I can get control of my weight issue and keep doing this.

"Failure is not an option!" Apollo 13

I was an AT for 14 years in the Navy. Now, after getting out and going to school, I am serving as a Navy Chaplain with the Marines at Camp Pendleton, CA.

Totally a morning workout person, before everything else in life gets in the way. I also work in an environment that lets me workout at lunch, so I do that when I can. Almost impossible to squeeze it in when I get home to the wife and kids.

I didn't believe it at first either, but you may be slowing your metabolism down by not doing it. I started eating my exercise calories and it broke the plateau I was on and I started losing again.
