Why We Like Year-Round Lads to Leaders Events
The national Lads to Leaders convention has just been completed. Countless hours were spent preparing for this big weekend, and our kids had a blast! We came home excited…but also exhausted. So why am I already writing about preparing for the 2018 convention? Because we love the year-round events, and today I want to encourage you to be involved in them (even if you are not involved with Lads to Leaders!). What are Year-Round Events? When most people think of Lads to Leaders, all they consider is the convention that is held annually on Easter weekend. At that convention, young people are involved in speech, debate, song leading, oral Bible…

A Poem Every Parent Needs to Remember
Today’s post is very simple. It is a poem that you have probably heard before, but that every parent needs to keep in mind as we seek to raise those precious treasures God has given to us. The poem is called “When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking,” and the author is Mary Rita Schlike Korazan. We hope it encourages us all. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought…

Yes, Our Kids Are Sheltered in Their Entertainment. Yes, We Want It That Way.
Our family loves movie night! On Friday nights when we are at home, odds are we will have a simple supper and sit down in our living room to watch a movie.

We don’t go see every “kids’ movie” that is produced, because we want a trip to the movies to be special. Though we watch quite a few movies, have a couple of favorite TV shows on DVD, and enjoy listening to the radio at times, we…
