Rich, Kristi and the Fam! (Elli, Emma & Baylee)

Welcome to the Todd's BLOG! My idea here is not to merely join an ever growing nerdy fad to have my journal published to the world but to have a place where friends of the Rich and Kristi Todd Family can come and see what we're up to. In reality I'm just lazy, I don't want to have to write the same stuff over and over again. I will try to occasionally add pictures and the like. So here we are. Enjoy!

Attaining the Unimaginable!


After four horrific days of potty training Emma and Baylee. We have had success. On the scoreboard we have Emma - 2 pees, Baylee - 1 Pee, 1 Poop! Yes I have arrived! A little bit of advice for those of you out there looking for it. Don't try and potty train twins at the same time... or better yet just have one kid at a time, like the good lord intended! This area in our life apparently is going good. After going through the tough time with Elli I thought we were really in for it with the twins. I think now that they might catch on rather quickly!

God is continuing to wrestle with me concerning what my action needs to be from what He's teaching me. I know it means a radical change in how I look at ministry. God is continuing to call me to reach a lost generation. Obviously the tactics and methods of the past are not working, and I don't think a new fangled program, or course is the answer either. I think it's much more basic than that. It's introducing people to a relationship with the all powerful, loving God, to Jesus, through relationships. The question I'm struggling with is, can this happen in the existing setting that is the north american church? Obviously it can happen, but is it the best way? Is this where I should be? Or should I be seeking to take this passion to create "church" in a new way to a new generation? What does that even look like? That is my question. So the wrestle goes on as I seek to find direction.

Heya Chard. I am actually working on a blog project that I will publish to my domain "notajedi.com" someday soon. FYI John Kerry is not a Jedi.

In the mean time, I followed your inspiration and have set up something small for the Fam. (http://davoceedot.blogspot.com/) You may want to add a link to mine and I will of yours and so on...

Other than that. I miss and wish we could snowboard together this winter. Hint hint.
