My name is Joey Phillips. I am a husband to a beautiful wife; father to 3 wonderful boys and a beautiful little girl. Here I post my thoughts and pictures on my family, youth ministry, cooking on my grill, Jesus, and whatever else is rattling around in my mind.
We allowed James to stay up late and watch the finale of his favorite show, "America's Got Talent." David Copperfield was a special guest on the show. He did a pretty cool trick and miraculously appeared out of nowhere on a motorcycle, revving his engine. I looked over at Heather and James and both of their mouths were wide open. In her amazed state Heather asked out loud to no one in particular, "How did he do that?" James answered her quickly in a tone that was shocked at how she could not know the answer to such a simple question, "magic!"
After the finale was complete, James ducked his head and sadly sulked as he headed to bed. I went in a moment later to tuck him in. He was laying in bed with his eyes full of tears. "Whats wrong?" I asked. He answered, "That 10 year old girl should have won, but that guy cheated."
James, my 6-year-old, walked into the livingroom and said, "I don't like Nolan".
"Why?", Heather and I responded.
"Well, he never stops talking (If you know James you know why that is funny). He takes the toys I'm playing with. He always tells jokes that I don't think are very funny, and he calls me bad words like Shut-up.
