Building better Behaviour
So this blog functions as a repository for most ideas I come across. I found this little thing on better behaviour. Not sure where it came from, but if I stole it from you, let me know and I will attribute it!
Building Better Behavior
Disruptive behavior may come from a child feeling ignored or misunderstood. Sometimes [...]
Cool Links
A few Monday surfing/blog/tidbits:
Forever Strong - An american movie about Rugby? Strange but true… I have a suspicion that Lord of the Rings has something to do with this. Sean Austin is in both movies and would have seen Rubgy with his time in New Zealand.
Leadership Summit 2008 - Lotsa a juicy leadership videos to [...]
Kidshaper, up a level!

1. Why do I need to know all the answers?
Lost creator and Cloverfield producer J.J. Abrams has a “mystery box” from New York’s Tannen’s [...]
Let me just say…
It’s 10:51 PM Sunday night.
I feel like writing something down.
I feel a little quirky. It might just be the album I just bought (on the itunes store on my iPhone - didn’t even leave my bed) (the fact I just told you that makes me a little sad).
Medeski, Martin and Wood are one of my [...]

Great post from Marcy Ribeiro about the Orange conference - which I really would love to attend some time… maybe next year… we’ll see.

The Role of the Small Group Leader.
They model five faith skills and model the top 5 defining moments.
