I count it the greatest of privileges that the Lord allows me to teach and disciple my boys in the process of our life work as a family. This year, my two oldest boys, Joshua (10) and Justice (8), were able to sit through the four-day, thirty-five hour training program. My own father brought me with him to many conferences and it changed my life. I pray that God will use this time to encourage and bless my own sons.

One of the funny events of the week was introducing my son Justice to Chief Justice Moore.

“Justice Moore,” said I, “this is Justice Phillips.”

He replied (and this is a paraphrase):

“Well son, if you ever get my job, you will be ‘Chief Justice Justice.’”
