It doesn’t happen very often, but you can sure tell the dif-
ference when it does...
The little dog that my daughter asked me to keep for her
for two weeks is now going into its third year. Usually the
little dog is standing at the door ready to go, but sometimes
she doesn’t get out of her bed or even pay attention to me. I
can call her and she won’t respond. It may be just for that
morning or for the day, or it has even lasted for several days.
We took her to the nearby veterinarian and he couldn’t de-
tect anything. Thinking about the response of that little dog
reminds me of a problem Christians may face in life: no
matter how hard we try, sometimes we just don’t or won’t
respond to God, (Deuteronomy 11:13-17, Jeremiah 17:9).
Maybe there is no reasonable explanation why we don’t or
won’t. During those times I cry out to God to help me to
not slip away or to not let my heart grow cold so that that
problem or attitude (Proverbs 20:9)—or whatever it is—will
not become a permanent way of life, (Hebrews 3:8). I also
ask Him to forgive me when I feel that way and to help me
do better, (Acts 8:22). And usually, just like the little dog, in
a day or so I am waiting at the door ready to go for and with
God, (Psalm 51:10-12).
Thank God for fathers that care
While my wife was shopping years ago I decided to go to a
small nearby airport and look at the small airplanes. I have
always enjoyed just looking at or watching them take off and
land. While there, I noticed a man pushing a small plane
out of a hanger and putting a for sale sign on it. I went over
and talked to him. He said he needed to sell it so he could
pay his daughter’s college tuition. He went on to say that he
loved flying very much but he loved his daughter more and
her education was more important. No one really knows all
the sacrifices or hardships that fathers go through for their
families. When father’s take the responsibility of providing
for, protecting and leading their families, (and not excluding
or omitting God, Deuteronomy 4:9,10) what a beautiful thing
it is, (Proverbs 20:7, Ephesians 6:1-4). Next Sunday will be
Father’s Day, maybe we can give a little extra attention to
fathers. A cup of coffee or his favorite breakfast is good, but
a simple hug or a thank you could even be better. We might
call them on the phone or get them a small gift. If they have
passed on and left a beautiful memory, thank God for them.
I personally enjoy and remember a little hug with a thank
you more than a gift.

decades of diligence and persistence. Let your children
know that it’s of great value to start investing as early as
possible, so you can put time on your side, giving invest-
ments a chance to grow.
Living within your means - We all know that you can’t
always get what you want. Stress to your children that
you can’t just splurge on big purchases whenever you
feel like it, because such behavior can lead to bad out-
comes. Use concrete examples: If you have a car that’s
several years old, tell your children that it
would be nice to have a new one, but you
simply must wait until you can afford it.
Paying debts on time - Tell your children
that, no matter how good a saver you are,
or how thrifty you try to be, you still have
debts, such as your mortgage payment, and
it’s important to pay these debts on time.
You may not want to get too detailed about
the consequences of missing debt payments
- bad credit scores may not be that easy for
children to understand - but you can cer-
tainly mention that if you’re always late on
payments, you might find it harder to bor-
row money when you really need it.
By sharing these principles with your chil-
dren, you will, at the least, give them some-
thing to think about, and you may well find that you’ve
helped start them on the path to a lifetime of making
solid financial moves. And who knows? If they truly mas-
ter the ideas you’ve taught them, one day they might give
you some really nice Father’s Day gifts.

fans of cilantro in the Davis house, so it was a no-brainer
for us. Plus, our friend, Heather Tye, has an abundance of
cilantro growing in her backyard to share with us. We are on

encourage you to try this out, and then invite

Father’s Day - Lessons About Money Can Be Price-
less Gifts to Children
Father’s Day is almost upon us. If you’re a dad, you
certainly may enjoy getting cards and gifts, of course.
But, over time, you will gain even greater satisfaction by
what you can give your children - such as some valuable
financial lessons.
These lessons can include the following:
Setting goals - If you are contributing to an IRA and a
401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan,
explain how you build these accounts now,
while you are working, so you’ll have enough
money to enjoy a comfortable retirement
someday. And you can bring your children
into the picture, too, by telling them that
another financial goal is saving enough to
help send them to college or to further their
education in other ways.
Value of understanding the financial
markets - You may actually be quite sur-
prised at how interested your kids are in
investing, especially the concept of “own-
ing” companies through stocks and stock-
based vehicles. Depending on their ages,
you might even want to show them the
progress of your own investments and de-
scribe, in general terms, how different events can cause
the markets to rise and fall, especially in the short term.
You could even discuss the difference between the basic
types of investments, such as stocks and bonds.
Putting time on your side - You might want to empha-
size the importance of patience, and how investing is not
a “get-rich-quick” scheme, but a process that requires
chemicals! hormones! antibiotics! - Words that used to
have meaning. Words that have become tainted. Words
the ANTI’s live by. Words that are now included in THE
BIG BOOK OF BUZZWORDS
unnatural substance, pesticides, factory farming! - THE
BIG BOOK OF BUZZWORDS. A complete cross-referenced
collection of words used by sympathetic talk show hosts,
columnists, reporters and politicians when they are re-
quired a certain spin on a story.
corporate farming, overgrazing, veal barn. -
THE BIG BOOK OF BUZZWORD. Assists the
ANTI’s in making their case without using
facts. You see in THE BIG BOOK OF BUZZ-
WORDS there are no definitions.
growth stimulants, insecticides, cholester-
ol. - In order to influence opinion in the sound
bite allowed, one has no time for a complete
explanation. Thus the use of BUZZWORDS.

THE "BEST CHICKEN OF YOUR LIFE/7 CHICKEN
How many times have you caught yourself saying, “this is
the best (insert food) I’ve ever had?” Or, if you’re having a re-
ally awesome time with your friends, it’s suddenly “the best
day ever.” OH! My favorite: “that is the cutest baby ever!”
This recipe is actually the best chicken ever, will make you
have the best day ever, and, yes - Bair Davis is
the cutest baby ever.
The first step to having the best chicken of
your life involves brining. The brining process
is weird, and chicken is the only thing I’ve ever
brined. It looks gross - meat in a salt water
bath - but it is totally worth the effort. Brin-
ing is supposed to do something magical to
meat, and I’m not entirely sure what that is.
It’s like the saying “a magician never reveals
his secrets.” Brining is like that. I like when
cucumbers are brined because...pickles (duh).
I usually let the chicken sit for 3 hours before
rinsing it really well. You want to get all that
salt off, my friend. Then start on the rub. If
you’re not a fan of curry, I hope to change your
mind. Inhale those spices. Pretend you’re on a
beach somewhere exotic. Maybe grab a glass of Watson Vine-
yards wine and really live it up!
Next up: grilling. I sit this part out and continue to enjoy
my glass of Symphony while Josh does his portion. The fi-
nal step is the sauce. We also use it as a salad dressing IF
there is any leftover. It’s good stuff, this dipping sauce - Josh
would use it on everything if he could. If you’re questioning
