To Santa or not to Santa

This year I have had more run ins with parents about the “Santa situation”. To believe or not to believe. It is a common question with young parents and so I wanted to post some of my thoughts on the old portly purveyor of presents. There are two sides of Santa we need to remember…Continue reading “To Santa or not to Santa”

Teens prefer hard copies to digital

A new Barna study came out that revealed quite a lot of interesting things about current teenage culture in regards to faith. One intersting insight is that teens prefer hard copies to the bible to their digital counterparts. Teens Still Prefer to use a Hard Copy Bible in a Digital Age When teens read theContinue reading “Teens prefer hard copies to digital”

We need to learn how to fight.

I tell you there is a lot wrong with society today and I could write a book cursing the darkness and I won’t make a dent in it in my little blog post. Also, there are many solutions to the many problems in our society but one thing that will help in many if notContinue reading “We need to learn how to fight.”

You need more than God

Now don’t pick up your stones to throw at me yet…hear me out. Better yet hear God out. Genesis 1:18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.

I say brief because I think my kids are a trip most of the time. However, a note endedContinue reading “Do you like me?”

Thanks

Jesus, since we have this day to celebrate giving thanks, I thought I’d thank you for a few things… Thank you for a wife that is strong, beautiful, loves you and is my best friend (making her a great kisser was a bonus) Thank you for 3 great kids that challenge me and trip meContinue reading “Thanks”

Lucky number 13

Thirteen years ago I married Audra Little…aside from following Christ it was the single greatest decision I have ever made. Audra is the most amazing woman I have ever known.
