14 Years of Awesome!

Hey, kids, it’s Dad. For today’s TommyLog I want to talk to you about a major milestone in my life. Today is my 14th wedding anniversary with my sweetheart Becky. 14 years together. What an amazing accomplishment!

Over the last 14 years, I’ve learned a lot about marriage. Here are some of the things I’ve learned

Number 1 is communication. If you don’t communicate, the relationship is dead. Number 2, always say I love you. Number 3 find middle ground and try to work together. Number 4, always say I’m sorry.

These for keys to success have helped make it 14 years. I love you, Becky, more and more every day.

And I Drove Right Over…

I’m not immune to making mistakes PLEASE! This week In an email exchange, I inadvertently offended a member of our congregation. There are plenty of ways I could have addressed the issue, but do you know what I did? I got in my car and drive over to her house and apologized.

TommyLog – Will the Bigger Man Please Apologize First?

I have a life long friend named Jeff and we used to pick on each other, many times to tears. As I look back on the incidents for the real reason I picked on him, I can’t think of anything valid other than the fact he was bigger than I and he was what I felt was weaker. This went on for years and I’m pretty sure I never actually said i was sorry. This weekend, he reached out to me and said he was truly sorry.

It takes the bigger man to admit they are wrong and to say sorry. I’m blessed to have Jeff teach me this lesson.

I appreciate him and call him a good friend. YOU ROCK JEFF!

TommyLog – Saying I’m Sorry

Sometimes saying you are sorry can be the hardest part of being a dad, but it’s one of the most important things to do. You cannot be 100% right all the time and admitting you are wrong seems to put things into perspective. I’m not a fan of being wrong, but when I am…admitting it helps solve many problems. One of the big parts of being a father is learning from your mistakes. Saying sorry is key to that process!

The Value of I’m Sorry

Tommy talks about leadership training and the value of saying I’m Sorry. How different would this word be is leaders just admitted their mistakes and said I’m sorry. I used the example of the umpire Jim Joyce‘s error robbed Armando Galarraga of his perfect game and how there are no hard feelings. What an amazing story. A great lesson to be learned here.
