My world’s caving in.
Who doesn’t dread getting that 3 AM phone call telling you that one of our kids got in an accident, or we discover drugs in one of our kid’s rooms, or that our son is into pornography or our teen [...]
I can’t give what I don’t have, can I?
That’s a great question. What am I talking about? Well, we all have backgrounds that affect our parenting. If you saw unconditional love in your family, it’s easy to demonstrate it. If not, you’ve got to learn it. OR, maybe [...]
We trust God, but do our kids know it?
If you were given a choice of either $1 Million tax free dollars or God’s promise never to leave us nor forsake us, which would you choose? The spiritual side of us knows the answer, but if you’re like me, [...]

My daughter told me I’m mad all the time
How would you like to be hit with that. Yep, you guessed it. I’m that angry guy. At first, I thought, what is she talking about? I’m passionate about EVERYTHING. When I’m happy I laugh loud. When I’m sad, I [...]
There are specific gender roles, right?
Wow. That’s a loaded question, especially in today’s culture. I was told by a millennial recently that we shouldn’t label male and female roles in a family. My response? What does that Bible say? Because that’s what matters. Paul tells us [...]
