I am mailing this letter to USA Network.

RE: Request to remove commercial from your network.

Dear USA Network,

My family enjoys watching several shows on your network, especially WWE Monday Night Raw. Last night, as I watched RAW with my children, ages 14, 13, 10 and 6, there was a commercial that exposed my children to a vulgar sexual suggestion.

The commercial was advertising the movie, “Get Him to the Greek”. One of the characters said to the other, “Imaging someone else having sex with your girlfriend, at the same time as you”, or something very similar. My young children heard that!! How offensive!!!

It’s hard to imagine how that got on the air during a show that is known to be loved and watched by millions of children. Please consider the negative impact this commercial is having on the minds of children. It is unhealthy for them to hear such things. Once such a thought is planted in their minds, you can’t take it back.

Do you see the damage this could have on the children who watch your network?

TAKE THIS COMMERCIAL OFF THE AIR IMMEDIATELY!!

Sincerely,

Andy Brasfield

I get wanting to know Christ, power and fellowship. But suffering???

Consider this verse:

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. Philippians 3:10 (New International Version)

Am I reading that correctly?

Did Paul really say he wanted to share in Christ's suffering?

He must know something I don't, because I don't like suffering of my own. And Christ suffered way more than I could imagine.

God help me understand this.

US Army Chorus tickled ears and massaged hearts at Kennedy Center.

It was an unexpected surprise. While the line for tickets grew outside, these men were inside singing.

From Broadway show tunes to spirituals and folk songs, all were American music. The voices were rich and flawless.

If you ever get the opportunity to hear them live, don't miss it.

After the concert, as the soldier exited the building and passed the crowd waiting in line, spontaneous applause erupted. Unfortunately, the only picture I could get is this one.

God bless America!

Keep on Daddin'



Daddin' is for Men.

I mean real men:

  • Men who's arm won't fall off from retrieving a hot wheel car from turd infested waters.  
  • Men who will squeeze their kids' momma just so tight in the kitchen.
  • Men of honesty and integrity.  
  • Men who will be with their kids on non-birthdays and non-holidays.  
  • Men who will worship God without shame.
  • Men who will go to work and come home after work every day.
  • Men who scratch a dog's ears.
  • Men who smell like men.
  • Men who can admit their mistakes.
Perfection? No.

Dads? Yes.

Keep on Daddin'.

God Bless,
Dadofmykids.

It's been a great week of vacation in Gulf Shores Al.

We weren't sure what to expect. The news reporters seemed to all be screaming, "Oil!". We considered going to the other coast when the oil leak began. I am glad we didn't change our plans.

There were very small amounts of tar balls and oil on the beach here this week. Maybe credit is due the cleanup crews which have been sifting the sand both with large machines and by hand. Could it be that there hasn't been very much oil impact on the beaches here at all?

The sad part of it is that the greatest impact here seems to be economic here in Gulf Shores, Alabama. This is a demonstration of the power of the media to falsely influence behavior in our people. The beach has not been crowded at all - the opposite, nearly baron.

Yesterday the beach flags were changed from red to yellow. I heard reports that the Health Department upgraded the swim advisory. They must have seen the same thing I saw.

We took some great pictures this week but cannot upload other than by cell phone. I plan to post after we get back home to our beloved high speed Internet.

The bottom line is this: if you ever wanted to vacation to the beach, now is your best opportunity. Not only will you find clean safe sand, but you will bring some needed and appreciated cash down here.

God bless,
Dadofmykids.

PS. Now it's time to go back to KnoxVegas. See ya.

How do you keep six kids busy for 12 hours?

It was still morning when we thought of it.


Spur of the moment almost.


We decided to go to Nashville, about a three hour drive, to see Monday Night Raw live. That's a wrestling match for you non wrestling fans.


Here's a pic I snapped showing how the kids were captivated the whole show.


We got home around 3 am, but we had an "awwwwsome" time (The Miz was there) and made some really cool memories.


Remember to spend as much time with your family as you can.



God Bless,
Dadofmykids.
