“As the Family goes, so goes the Nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
- John Paul II
"Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built." - Dr. James C. Dobson
10-20-30GO! is a gift from God that we want to share with you and with parents everywhere! With this children’s accountability system, children spend 10 minutes each day in prayer and meditation; 20 minutes each day reading; and 30 minutes each day performing assigned chores…with little or no whining and complaining!

We have been blessed with six children…and as every parent knows, those blessings
mean a lot of laundry, dishes, and messes! And you also know that it doesn‘t
stop there. There are endless emails, homework projects, carpools and extracurricular
activities. The responsibilities grew right along with the size of our family. We
were overwhelmed trying to keep up with housework and homework, and instilling
Christian values. We want to be clear that we did not want the spiritual aspect of
raising our children to be an afterthought. We realize that it can easily be at the
bottom of the list if you don’t consciously make it a priority every day.
So we needed a system, and one that didn‘t require a lot of maintenance. We
didn’t want to fight with the kids over chores or hear their sighs every time we
asked them to do something around the house. We wanted them to take responsibility
for their homework and education. We also wanted to give more attention to
nurturing their faith and prayer life - a daily opportunity to talk to them about their
prayers and conversations with God. We needed a system that guided our children
and allowed them to be active, responsible participants in maintaining our household,
their schoolwork, and their faith.
10-20-30GO! was the system we were praying for. The idea for this system came
to Bo in his quiet time and evolved over several months. 10-20-30GO! has helped
us accomplish everything we hoped for. The focus started out on chores and
helping around the house, but we ultimately ended up with a system that has given
our family more gifts and benefits than we ever could have imagined. The 10-20-
30GO! system opened the lines of communication with our children about our
faith, and has nurtured their relationship with God. It has also initiated some
awesome conversations about right and wrong, principles and virtues.
We‘re not saying that our house is now perfectly organized and “runs like a
machine,” or that our children are perfect little angels. But we are saying that we
have developed a system for keeping up with the day-to-day responsibilities of life,
and for reflecting on our family’s faith and how it works in our lives every day.
We pray that you have the same results!
