While We Can
James wrote, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14). As we age we realize the truth of this statement. It reminds us there are certain things we must do while we can. 1. We must love our parents while we can. The lyrics to a song with this sentiment say it best: They tied our shoes, took us to school, patched our worn-out jeans. They soothed our tears and calmed our fears, and listened to our dreams. Somewhere along their golden years, their hair has lost its sheen. The notes to hymn one-hundred-ten crackle when…

Singing in the Dents
Several years ago on a Wednesday evening after Bible class, I was sitting with my young son Luke over in the wing of the church building. We were singing, and as we sang (he was still learning to read) we kept our fingers in the songbook in order to follow the words. I remember that he was picking the words up so quickly and I can recall feeling that there was no other thing that could please me more than to hear my child sing to the Lord. Later that evening when we went to bed, I was reading a Bible story to him. (This had become our custom every night…

In April, we are thinking on the podcast about the book of Ephesians and what an “Ephesians home” looks like. This week, Leah joins Adam for a short discussion on one of the more controversial passages in the Bible. Paul told wives to submit to their own husbands. What does that mean? How can that be done?

5 Steps to Family Financial Freedom
Do you ever feel like your money controls you instead of the other way around? If you are like most Americans, you probably have felt that way (and many of you probably still do). Handling money is not easy. Oh, it sounds easy, but actually doing it properly takes both focus and discipline. Trust me, I may be writing this post, but that does not mean I/we are perfect at any of this stuff! This is one of those “I need it as much as anyone else” type articles. You are not going to read anything in this post that will turn a light bulb on in your head. Everything here…

Where the Grass is Greener
If you have been married for any length of time you have had moments of unhappiness. Remember, your vows predicted it: in SICKNESS and in health, for richer or POORER, for better and for WORSE. Every marriage is going to be a struggle. Sometimes when the struggles are prolonged people began to think about getting out. Across the fence they see pasture, that is, greener grass. They see a friend or co-worker of the opposite sex who listens to them. They see this person in all their good moments. They don’t see their bad attitudes. They don’t have to live with their bad choices. They don’t see them when they…

I’m Adopted
My daughter is the girl I call “Precious” and “Sweet Girl.” Ever since a nurse put her little ink-covered footprint on my hand, my little girl has been daddy’s girl. We have gone on dates together, danced in our living room together, and read countless books together. She’s my daughter… …by adoption. The story of her adoption is remarkable, but so is every adoption story. Every adoption may be similar to another, but no two are alike. I never get tired of hearing adoption stories, because there is always a detail that makes it unique. Recently, though, my sweet girl has been asking a lot of questions. At age 9,…

Some Things I Learned about Family in a Cabin in the Mountains
When you’re trying to find time for a family vacation and all three of the men in the family are preachers, it’s hard to accomplish the task. Recently, however, after a couple of years of trying, we managed to find the time to spend four days together in the Smokey Mountains. Eleven of us were closed in a cabin with three levels – one for each family. As the wife, mother, mother-in-law and grandmother, I learned some very important things. Families NEED to be together – or maybe I should say I needed to be with my husband, children, and grandchildren. There is such joy in being away from anyone’s home and the…
