I read the entire Chronicles of Narnia series from start to finish to my young boys. I read a chapter each night (took about 30 minutes). Some of the language is hard for kids to understand, but it was fun. My oldest child enjoyed it more than my younger two boys and that may be due to his being older and being able to understand the language better. It opened up some good spiritual discussions and taught many good moral values. I enjoyed it very much! I recommend it to anyone. Especially if you have young kids and want something with moral value to read to your children.

How I did it: Borrowed the books from a friend and from the library. I read them one by one and made sure that I had not seen the movie before I read the book. When I finished a new book, I would reward myself by renting/watching the movie. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used a company called the "Financial Planning Ministry" and they did all of the work after I filled out a few forms. Not too bad. The hardest part is changing everything into the trusts name (called funding the trust). But, we are in good shape now Read how I did it…
I actually had to erase my entire MP3 share and load them all from my CD collection one by one, while tagging them properly along the way…to get it done. But, it’s done and it feels good. I can actually find music on my iPod. It’s very nice.
While I have had moments of good grades through my student career, I had never earned straight A’s. When I started my Masters Degree, my goal was to finish with straight A’s. After much blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice on the part of my wife and kids, I reached my goal. Straight A’s. It was a big accomplishment and it felt very good!
