Equipping Parents for The Journey
‘Tis the season for raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, and dreaming of a white Christmas. Oh, and I almost forgot! Standing in line to shop all night, embracing the commercialization of the holidays, and dropping some hard-owned dough in a little red bucket. Seriously, this has widely...
‘Tis the season for turkey, football, family pictures, and service with your family. Wait–what was that? Because opportunities are more abundant this time of year, many families seize this as the only season to teach their children the value of serving. But the reality is, while bringing a meal to a family on Thanksgiving and...
A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. Ecclesiastes 7:1 The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Men marry women like their mothers. Women fall for men like their dads. Nature over nurture. You have heard all these sayings and maybe, just maybe,...
Thousands of Texans are rallying around our officers in uniform, the men and women who risk their lives to protect citizens on a daily basis. The recent incidents of hatred against police officers is astounding, like the murder of sheriff’s deputy Darren Goforth in Houston last week. While pumping gas, Goforth was shot 15...
We live in an interesting age in terms of what may or may not put our children at risk of being prey for a predator. While evil is nothing new, the amount of attention given to the subject makes it all but impossible for parents to be aware of the many new dangers our...
My heart feels like it is crumbling, and my eyes can barely keep the tears from tumbling down my cheeks. Why, you ask? Well, my little guys started preschool today—both of them! The school is affectionately called Sonshine and takes place at a wonderful church close to our home. Two days a week, my sons will...
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15, NET Over the course of the past two weeks, I have witnessed (from a distance) gut wrenching devastation as a family has walked through the loss of their youngest child. I only met the mother of the little boy twice, as she is...
“The problem with your child is not your child, it’s you. There was no such thing as a boomerang child in the 1950s. We were making a much more functional contribution to society by the age of 25. Children were not expected to read by first grade, and there were no teachers’ aides then....
Throughout your days as a parent, it is likely that people express they are praying for you and with you—and with God’s grace, some actually do. In the rush of life with littles, though, it is easy for the best of intentions to fall flat. On the flip side, many of us have been...
Like many of you, I am passionately and unapologetically pro-life. Lately, the subject of abortion has yet again been the focus of much media attention as new Planned Parenthood videos have surfaced showing even greater insight into what takes place within the minds of the doctors and patients. Without getting into politics, I want...
School is about to start back up, and it seems no matter where I turn I hear debates over how and where families send their children to school—as if it were anyone else’s business. Christians, in particular, seem to be at odds with one another over what is the best situation for Christian children....
