Top 7 = beach week, running, kids at cash, + more...

Fitness = This week I grabbed a few long runs…

… going to grab a book the week and consider the “75 Hard” challenge.

Finance = give kids some money and watch it 🔥

I learned a tip from my Dad— back when I was a kid. Whenever we went on vacation, he gave the kids— me, my brother, and my sister— some money.

“I’ll buy the food and get you into the attractions we see,” he said. “But if you want extra snacks or want souvenirs… this is your money.”

It was his way of encouraging us— and empowering us— to manage our resources AND make some decisions…

Predictably, my brother and I usually blew through ours (making big purchases like shoes or other things my parents would have bought us back at home in “real life”) and my sister returned with most of hers…

This is a practice I’ve carried to the next generation…

This week, at the beach, we gave the kids $50 each for the week… for the same purposes. For “whatever they wanted.”

And, one night we went to eat at The Hub, an outdoor food court at 30A…

Predictably…

⭐️ Some of the boys spent theirs immediately.

⭐️ Two of the boys merged theirs, splitting meals and deserts and stretching it farther…

⭐️ Mini walked away with enough to buy some jewelry 💙

Here’s a pic of Salter, post food (he opted to buy a $9 milkshake for his supper, then spend the rest on candy)…

Family = most of the week at the beach…

Over the past few months we’ve been working on a model to work-from-home and spend as much time with the family as we can…

.. but we still want to take vacations and sneak away…

Here’s a pic of the road trip down—

Here’s a shot of most of us at the beach, the day we rented a pontoon boat.

On Monday night we met up with Beth’s parents. Being the week of Father’s Day AND the week of their 50th wedding anniversary it was a great time to pause and celebrate with them…

(We scored WELL in the parents-category. Between her parents and mine there are 100 years of marriage!)

Field = This week on social media we started posting the 21-Day #OolaChallenge.

Faith = This week I released the Redemption book free on my website…

This is one of the four books available on my website— and is the foundational one. It’s about the work of Jesus, the EXPANSIVE nature of salvation… and the MASSIVE achievement Jesus made on our behalf…

Friends = Not a lot of time spent with friends this week, because we spent so much time with family…

This week, I’m looking forward to the monthly #Hilltop Hangout, a tine we’ve built into our monthly flow to have friends over— every month.

We figured it it’s important, then let’s just drop it in the regular routine…

Fun = Again, this week was beach week…

… and I snapped this pic while taking the goal cart around 30A. Mini wanted to drive, so…

That’s the highlight reel for the week!
