Hey Dad
As a child growing up, my father and I never developed a deep bonding relationship. My dad was focused on providing for his family because that is what was taught to him. That has also carried down to me. Having a deep, meaningful relationship just wasn't ever developed, simply because I don’t think he knew…Read more Hey Dad
Seasons
What is your favorite season? My favorite is spring. The reason I like spring is thats when the trees start to bud, birds are back chirping, there is a smell of freshness in the air, and the temperatures are warming up. It also means the long, cold winter is over and new life begins. Living…Read more Seasons
Escape
Early last summer, I watched as my youngest dog Baleigh figured out how to jump over our 4-foot picket fence. I went to the lumber store and bought enough 6-foot stockade fencing, tore out the old 4-foot picket fence, and installed the taller stockade. That stopped Baleigh from jumping over the fence. Being the escape…Read more Escape
Halloween
There is only one time of year I really dislike: Halloween. I don’t understand why some Christians embrace this wicked day. Just think about it for a minute. What is there to celebrate? What are you celebrating? Why, and who, are you celebrating? God tells us what and how to think, to keep our minds…Read more Halloween

How Do I Define A Good Man
I often examine myself to see what needs to be changed or tuned up in my life. Like an automobile, in order to keep it running in top shape, you have to care for it by changing the oil, giving it tune-ups, washing it, giving it a good wax job, etc. Examining myself helps me…Read more How Do I Define A Good Man
Habits
When I wake up in the morning, I like to sit down, enjoy a hot cup of coffee, and plan or prioritize my day and what I want to get accomplished. It's one of those habits I do on a daily basis. If I decide to change that habit or start a new one, how…Read more Habits
Scripture Reading by Electronic Device?
The other night, my phone dinged, letting me know my niece had posted another video blog. She must have hundreds of them by now, and even though I have not watched them all, the one I have watched has always encouraged me to seek and hunger for more truth from God. So I give praise…Read more Scripture Reading by Electronic Device?
Shopping
Have you ever noticed how men and women shop totally differently?I consider myself a patient man, but when I go to the grocery store with my wife, it doesn't take long for my patience to get up and run away.

Christianity and Nudism
This question was asked me, not to very long ago. Can a Christian be a naturalist? I almost don't want to go into this. It can be a touchy subject, but I also think as Christians living in this world, it is a good question and it should be explored and finding out what the…Read more Christianity and Nudism
