What do you do when you're in the midst of something that pushes you farther than you thought you could go?
For our family, 2012 was exceptionally challenging financially. One of those years filled with financial "emergencies" & unexpected expenses. Those challenges combined...
For many years now, when my mom cleans the wood furniture in her house, she uses lemon-scented Pledge. Years ago when my brother was little, he loved the smell of that Pledge! Whenever he was around when Mom was cleaning with it he would inhale deeply and say, “Mmmm! Smells like paradise!”...
Quite possibly the biggest test of patience I had in my life as a youngster was the 3 or 4 days out of each year that I would go deer-hunting with my dad and brother. I wasn’t really into the actual shooting of the animal. In fact, I only killed one deer in about 7 years of hunting....
I must admit I am so shocked at how quickly some Christians are in giving up the creation account in Genesis saying it is a secondary issue to the cross of Christ.
If you are one of these people please see that these two events are linked. Why have people bought so much into worldly...
“Patience is a virtue.”
“I want patience, and I want it right now!”
“Patience is the companion of wisdom.”
“If you pray for patience, you’ll get something that really tries your patience.”
We have a lot of sayings about patience, don’t we? I think that’s because it’s such a tough thing...

In 1894, scientist Percival Lowell claimed that with the aid of his telescope he could make out very distinct lines on the surface of Mars. According to him, these lines were nothing less than a canal system that must have been built by extraterrestrial intelligent life; Martians! He...
What is a pagan? The word itself comes from the Latin paganus, which literally means “peasant.” In my research for this blog post, I’ve seen multiple definitions for the English word pagan. These definitions go from simply a person who has little or no religion, to one who is not a...
How do you feel when people constantly deal in hypothetical situations? Does it aggravate the heck out of you because you just wish they would live in reality for a minute? As a full-time social worker in the field of child abuse prevention and a part-time preacher, I am not bothered...
I’m going to openly contradict a statement that I made in an earlier blog post: DINOSAURS WERE NEVER REAL!!! Before you think that the cheese finally fell out of my sandwich, hear me out.
The existence of dinosaurs was verified upon the discovery of fossils and bones buried in the...
What a way to end a day! While on Facebook discussing the hot topic of abortion, among other things, my older children were looking over my shoulder and reading what I, and others were writing.
That night while reading the Bible as a family my oldest son, Ezra, asked me, “Dad, why...
Have you ever been in a situation where you’re trying to explain a difficult concept to the other person, and they’re just not getting it? What do you do? You would probably try and compare the new concept to something they can relate to, perhaps using examples from their daily life....
How do you feel about leftovers? Chances are, that depends on where, when, and how you are getting them. For me personally, cooking is a chore that I absolutely loathe. So, leftovers are pretty much a gift from God for me. Because I don’t like to cook, I will do as much of it as...
