I just found out about this book and author yesterday, so I have not yet read it.  However, she has my attention, and I want to bring her to yours.  Here is her website. I will keep you posted on what I discover.  For now, here is the book summary: “Based on the National Study of Youth [...]

(Based on my 8/31 WAFB Parenting 101 interview) When is the right age to start talking with your kids about drugs and alcohol?

Look for another blog post to follow shortly on a “deeper” lesson or two learned from my very first fishing trip.  For now, I offer these: Spending a day fishing with a good friend is a very good thing. Fish spray poop whenever you pull the hook out of their mouths.  Be careful where you aim their…tails. Porpoises are [...]

Thank you, Rick Warren, for clobbering my shins with this inspired message! (Be sure to click on the link to read Pastor Warren’s full message.) 1. Stop making excuses. 2. Start today. 3. Establish a planned routine. 4. Face your fears. 5. Focus on what you gain, not the pain. – Don’t ask, “What do I [...]

No, this is not a typical post from me.  But I do my best to share good things with you on my site, and this definitely qualifies!  Now, I’m not advocating eating a whole half-gallon of this stuff in one sitting.  That would be gluttonous and over-the-top.  And I’d have to take like six Lactaid tablets [...]

So, I just heard about Scott Ginsberg’s (The Nametag Guy) new book, “-able: 35 Strategies for Increasing the Probability of Success in Business and in Life.” And with it, he is challenging folks like me to create a new word with an -able suffix, and explain to you how this quality can increase your probability of success [...]

This is the picture that was taped to our TV set all day yesterday.  “How did it get there?” you may ask.  Here’s the story… Just before bedtime on Wednesday evening, my six-year-old son lied to my wife and me about something.  It was one of those easily detected, bold-faced, I don’t even see the reason for [...]

Let’s pick up the story of Elijah’s Day of Despair (or Dark Night of the Soul, if you like) in 1 Kings 19 from where we left it in the previous post … And so, he gave up.  He had nothing left.  No hope.  No energy.  No faith.  No courage.  No reason to live.  He was spent.  [...]

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  This is what I call living!  Lord, keep teaching me through children.

Here are a few tips for living with reasonable freedom from the bondage of stress.  Most of these I have learned the hard way.  Some of them I have experienced the hard way, but have not yet learned: Seek God every day. Surrender to God every day. Ask for help when you need it. Graciously accept the help you [...]

Just a little post to share my son’s favorite YouTube video.  Feelin’ pretty proud as a Dad right now!

I will never forget the tension and anxiety that permeated my house and family as I crossed the bridge from ignorance to knowledge regarding the fundamentals of sex.  Let me take you on a quick trip back to this poignant memory in my life. I was in the fifth grade at a private Christian school.  Our [...]
