We had a great turnout for our first annual softball tournament-despite the depressing drizzle. The event was held on Saturday, October 10, 2009 at Kingston Park. There were seven teams participating and many volunteers helping on and off the field. We are grateful for the participation, as we raised over $1,000 that day! Next year we hope to have even more teams and more fun.
As for the BBQ, it was held on Sunday, October 11, 2009 at Scott’s Walk-In Bar-BQ, who allowed us to use their restaurant to serve the food and seat the folks. We sold tickets at various places, including Tabernacle Baptist Church, Rowland Springs Baptist Church, and Friendship Baptist Church. By the end of the day, we had served over 300 plates of BBQ!
The entire weekend brought in well over $2,000. We are grateful to all of those who supported us in this event.

Hal Runkel, with ScreamFree LLC, reminds us that from time to time this can be a problem with individual children, and especially with sibling interaction. His approach is teach them not so much that it’s wrong, but that it doesn’t work at your house.
By explanation, if a child says they’ve brushed their teeth, and you are pretty sure they haven’t, sometimes you might just say “okay”. Other times, to keep them guessing, your response might be: “brush them again”. Of course they may protest, to which you respond, “I don’t care, just brush them again!”
The point of this approach is that you as a parent don’t get drawn into a battle with them that there is no way to win.
Another area where “lying” may show up is in sibling arguments: “He started it”, “No, she hit me first”. Just like the conflicts in the Middle East, there is a history of interaction that is impossible to search out. Simply have as a family guideline, that’s known and quoted repeatedly: “When we fight, we both get in trouble”. With that approach, you are not dealing with history or hitting… simply dealing with a behavior according to the rules of the house.
