Share “If I would have known you were going to be gay, I would have aborted you.” This is what a mother told her son after she learned that he was gay. NPR did a story on gay immigrants shedding light on their story of living in the United States. In this particular segment the [...]

Share Last night my wife shared with me something my eight-year-old son said. Being in the second grade, the world of words and reading are opening up to him. As he was cleaning up his toys he realized a pattern, “Mom, everything says it is Made in China . . . [thoughtful pause] . . [...]

Share James once said, “Confess your sins to each other so that you may be healed.” A simple and profound truth. Healing comes with confession. Or better put, healing comes with admitting and walking in truth. Not to long ago my son stole a little (and I do mean little) toy from a friend of [...]

Share Following Jesus is a lot like taking my son to a waterslide park. You might be like my son. He is terrified of big roller coasters and intense looking rides. Of course he is only 7-years-old, but more than his age, his personal make-up plays a lot into it his natural lack of courage. [...]

ShareIs it not from the selfish desires that wage war within you, me, us? 90% 100% of the conflict that rises up within me and rears its ugly head stems from the selfishness that lives within my being. Then you merge that with another human being who has selfish desires waging war within them and [...]

Share A few families got together the other night and began having a great conversation about God. On the way home, I was talking to my son about it and he said, “Dad, you guys weren’t talking about God. You were laughing.” Ouch. At seven, he already has an “image” of God that doesn’t really [...]

Share My son and I were having a good conversation about God while driving home the other night. Then he stopped and said, “Dad, can we stop talking about God, it’s not Sunday. We are only supposed to talk about God on Sundays.” Ouch. What have we done?

Share Spring time is here. That means one thing—my top comes off. See, as a Jeep owner, the months of September through March carry with them a shadowy depression because the weather forces the sane person to keep their Jeep top on. But then Spring arrives. The top comes off and the whole world seems [...]

ShareOh, the power of four words. I cannot believe how much power and influence words have been given in my life, I guess anyone’s life for that matter. The secret, I suppose, lies not in the words themselves, but in the thoughts, attitudes and decisions that form the words; the words are just the thrust [...]
