Video Gaming Husbands ~ Podcast
• 0 Comments
Husbands, now here is something that is near and dear to my heart. Last year at the 2012 Teach Them Diligently conference in Spartanburg, South Carolina I had the pleasure of listening to a gentlemen by the name of Mark Hamby. Mark is the founder of the Lamplighter Ministries, which in itself is another great topic that I will discuss one day. He was speaking on the topic of “A Great Awakening: The Mind, Media, and Moral Imagination”. My youngest son, 8 during this time, was the exact kid that he was speaking of when it came to video games. He had become addicted to the “rush and thrill” of the game. It was acting as a literal drug that caused a change in his brain chemistry.
Why Do I Homeschool? ~ Podcast
• 0 Comments
I am at times asked why we have decided to home school our kids. Before we started, I needed to ask myself the question, “Why should we homeschool?” To be honest about it, there is a huge monetary commitment, a huge time commitment, it is not easy and to the world we appear to be backwards! So why? Why do I homeschool?
My reasons are as follows:
- It is my responsibility to teach my kids, not someone else.
- I want my kids to have the best education that is available.
- My kids don’t need to be influenced by other kids and their decisions. They are to be influenced by me and my wife.
- We have Bible time in our school. Do you?

So when he attempted something and he did not see it doing any good, he quit. He did not see that the responsibility he was given was important and how it effected everything else that was being done at that time. This in turn made others who were performing there task in a responsible manner look down on him and his self-esteem plummeted.

This is something that I struggle with in my house many times. Yet it is something that we as men need to do more often for our family. This is even more so when it comes to listening to the words of God when He speaks to us.

King or Commoner? Which Are You Dad?

Dad, when you survey your surroundings within your domain, are you a king or commoner? The difference between the two is vast yet so very short at the same time. To be a king one must have subjects who are loyal to him, listen and willing obey his laws, and will fight for him at…
