A quick caveat: the whole Bible is breathed out by God and therefore true. I mean something different, I hope you see that. Do you spend energy to hear the other side of someone’s story? You should. I often find that one person, through no fault of their own, will tell a very different storyContinue reading “The Truest Verse in the Bible”

Bravery Begins at the Dinner Table
I made up this slogan sometime last year to motivate my son to eat the food on his plate (his sisters don’t have this problem). It’s shown a little success (not as much as other methods), but I still think the phrase is fantastic and I repeat it often. James chapter three talks about theContinue reading “Bravery Begins at the Dinner Table”
Who Should Do the Dishes?
The children, obviously. But, before the children are able, and after they fly the coop, who should do them? They have to get done, you know. Now, I’m not universalizing anything below. I do think there are some universal principles underlying what I’m about to write; you can decide what they are. I had theContinue reading “Who Should Do the Dishes?”
It’s a Wonderful Life
I was in high school when I first saw the movie It’s a Wonderful Life. I watched it with my girlfriend, and we just watched it again with our children last night. A local theater had a showing, so we got to enjoy this masterpiece on the big screen. I’ve identified with George Bailey sinceContinue reading “It’s a Wonderful Life”
A Man Skilled in His Work
“Do you see a man skilled in his work?He will stand before kings;He will not stand before obscure men.” Proverbs 22:29 I got frustrated with myself this week. Consider this post as bread, fresh from the oven. I learn things in real time, too. I’ve been infatuated with the idea of being a pastor sinceContinue reading “A Man Skilled in His Work”
On China (Plates)
Last year about this time, I was talking to a friend about the holidays. He’s in his 60’s, and he had said that many people his age were getting out the China and eating on it, just the married couple. I guess a lot of people in my generation don’t want China anymore, so theContinue reading “On China (Plates)”
An Apologetic for Thanksgiving
“Let’s go around the table and say what we’re thankful for.” At no other time in the whole year will a secular person utter these words. Thanksgiving is a special time, not something to be overlooked! Here’s the beauty of it all: WHO are they thankful TO? You have to be thankful TO SOMEONE forContinue reading “An Apologetic for Thanksgiving”
On the Sabbath
I don’t want to get into the nitty gritty on what’s allowed or not allowed on the Sabbath. I do believe there IS a sabbath however, and that’s what I’d like to type about this week. I became convinced of the existence of the Sabbath about a decade ago. At the time, I was treatingContinue reading “On the Sabbath”
Live Like It’s True
I spent 18 years as a non-Christian. My formative years were spent in darkness, though I did have much light. I was taught to work hard, to treat others with respect, and to do many things myself. I am very grateful for the upbringing I had under my parents. They weren’t perfect, and they stillContinue reading “Live Like It’s True”
On Roles
I made a chart a while back for New Year’s resolutions. (I no longer do New Year’s resolutions; instead, if I find something to improve, I just do it whenever.) Twas a simple chart. I listed all the roles I had on the left, then a way to get better on the right. I wonderContinue reading “On Roles”
