I am a bit overwhelmed as of late. I have been doing lots of research, reading, watching and writing on media, ministry, and teens. I have also found a love of the documentary. I just finished watching a trailer for a documentary that disturbs me. Although, SuperSize me, focused on the obesity of America through …
It has been several months since we last blogged. For that we are seriously sorry. We have started many new things and enjoyed many exciting times together. Last week several things happened for us. First, we tore carpet out of our sunroom and painted the floor (it’s like a basement floor now). We finally got …
Listening to the radio here on the local pop/rock station I hear a song that is popular come on. Rockstar by Nickelback. In the song there are references to drugs and other things a “rockstar” of superstardom would be tempted with. I sometimes find myself listening to this song but this one day I had …

The rise of P.C. and the “Tolerance” gospel have festered these beliefs for many years in America. These 7 words are my first attempts to identify what the world would identify as …
Remember the umpires? From a couple posts ago. Find it here. I ended the post with a question that I left unresolved for you. In this case, the question was, “Are they all right?” There is a part of me that says, yes they are all right because their perspective is theirs alone. But I …
For the last couple of weeks our kids have been learning/memorizing Psalm 23. They have since got it down but every now and then Monkey, our daughter, gets to the verse that says, “He prepares a table before me in the presence of my anemones.” I hope you are laughing as hard as we do …
