Gladly past your mark, Trisco here, welcoming you to my first ever parenting series.

More than 20 years in the public, never taught an entire parenting series.

Parenting on point is a five week series looking at what it means to love God and live

in the love of God with all your heart, emotional life, soul spiritual life, mind mental life,

strength and physical life, and help your neighbor do the same starting with your own

family and the kids that are sleeping in the bunk beds down the hall.

So thanks for joining me.

Hope to be a service to you.

So my wife Grace and I, we've been here at 25 years.

We've got five kids and it started a long time ago.

She bought me a Bible when I was 19 and then I became a Christian reading it in college.

She actually bought it at 17.

I got saved reading at 19.

It took me a while, a little bit of slow processor.

And then at 21 we decided we're going to get married.

So it was between our junior and senior year of college and there's three kinds of broke.

There's broke, there's college broke and there's married college broke.

So we were on the threshold of married college broke.

And so it was the final summer before we got married and went back to school and I was

looking for any job I could get and I wanted to work double shifts, make as much money

as I possibly could because I really wanted to marry my dream girl.

And I ended up getting the most weird job as a dock hand for a boat company.
