Faith. Life. Gaming.
One of my surprise gifts, from Tabitha, was the LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy Light Cycle set.
The build was simple and the cycles are quite solid. I love the unique helmets and identity discs. Amazon has LED lighting kits for the set. I’m debating on whether to pick one up.
Wyatt also got me a LEGO Ferrari that I need to put together. Pictures soon!
Did you get any LEGO for Christmas? Let me know in the comments below.
The nun Elizabeth Scalia puts it this way: “The habit of sin is what is formed by permitting these ‘little sins’ and the reason they ‘mean a lot’ is because once they become ingrained within us, they shape who we are: mentally, spiritually, and even physically.” – Drew Dyck, Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science (A Guide for Sinners, Quitters, and Procrastinators)
Our family is a family of first borns. We are all highly competitive with each other. This past year, I made a concentrated effort to introduce cooperative board games to our family game time. We’ve dove into:
Both games are built around the idea of playing together, combining tactical decisions/special character moves in order to win. We’ve enjoyed these cooperative experiences, working as a team to beat the board.

I can’t wait to bring these games to the table. I’ll let ya’ll know how they each play. I’m curious to see if we stay alive going up against Jaws; also curious to see if we, Tabitha and I, can overcome the bad first impression we had of Pandemic (had someone quarterback us through a game).
How about you? Did you get any board games for Christmas?
I’ve been doing a little bit of gaming lately.
The Walmart parking lot was empty last night, as we drove home from Tab’s parents house. A reminder that at least once a year, a large corporation has some sort of heart. It’s weird to shift from the insanity of the holidays, dealing with the:
We shift from the above craziness into one day where:
We didn’t start opening gifts this morning until after we had eaten breakfast (cinnamon rolls that Tab made) at 9AM. There are perks to having an only child that sleeps in. 🙂
I hope ya’ll have experienced but a moment of peace today. Merry Christmas!
(Tab got me a keyboard for my iPad. This is the inaugural blog post written on said keyboard. I am hoping to write more in 2020. I am thinking that this is the year that I write my first kids book. Maybe the story of the Dirt Clod Wars will finally be told?)
