A Reminder from a Difficult Child
We are blessed with two good kids, but they are not always so good. And, especially when he was younger, our son was quite the difficult child at times. He has shown himself to be stubborn and to have a very strong temper. Thankfully, we are seeing him grow and mature, but that old way still comes out at times. And, considering they are still kids, both our children are difficult at times. If you are parent, you have had those moments. You just wonder how you can handle that child. You throw your hands up and wonder if you can do it. You cry or just get totally frustrated.…

Churches, For the Sake of Families, Keep It Simple
This month on our podcast, Leah and I are spending time thinking about “The Relationship between the Church and the Family.” In our first episode of the month, we talked about one issue that I felt needed to be fleshed out a little more, so we talked about it for a few moments, but decided to also put some of those thoughts in a dedicated blog post. As a preacher, one appeal I often make is for families to try to simplify as much as possible. Children do not need to be involved in a zillion activities (karate, baseball, piano, gymnastics, etc.) in order to be fulfilled. Too often, parents…

There’s More to Life than Likes
I was about to leave my office when I decided to check my email one last time, trying to free up those few moments later in the day for my family. Am I ever glad I did. In my email was a message from a family site that I enjoy going to, sharing a couple of new videos they had come out with. One of them caused me to stop and literally say a brief prayer about my own life and parenting. Here it is (don’t worry, it’s less than a minute long). (Video not playing? Click here.) Parents, I want to ask: are we making the life of our…

A Beautiful Home
On the 75th anniversary of my parents’ wedding day, I posted something on Facebook about the significance of that day to me. I really didn’t expect a lot of comments about that. I was just thinking about them and wanted to remember that day. I have a cousin who is quite a bit younger than me. In fact, he is enough younger that he was in high school when I taught at that high school. His father and my mother were siblings. As I remember it, we did not really spend that much time together. However, there must have been enough time spent that my parents made an impression on him. It was, as you will…
