Men, I have a favor to ask of you. I have a list of 5 simple questions that I need you to answer and then I need your kids to answer.

When Is It Enough?
• 0 Comments
When it comes to teaching your children, when is it enough? They are not like a recipe that you can have exact quantities to measure out. They are not something that you can sample along the way like adding to much or to little salt. They have no gauge that is built in that shows your level of input and an absorption rate. So, when is it enough?
Time To Do Some Weeding Dad?

In our life as gardeners, we need to spend more time on our knees, reading our guide book, and listening to the Master Gardener on how to maintain our garden and how to protect our special plants.
What are you digging’ up?
• 0 Comments
Many times we as men will let something go when we have a disagreement with someone. I think many times to myself, “Be a duck…be a duck…just let it roll off your back and move on”. Yet somewhere way back in one of our boxes (that’s another blog post) we bury a bone of that disagreement that we will dig up later.
How To Train Your Kid!
• 0 Comments
There are times when your kids will start asking questions. They turn into rapid fire machines it would seem and are able to ask questions faster than you can answer. They will start humming or making noises that will somehow find just the right wavelength to become the most irritating noise in the world.
The Next Generation ~ Part 1 of 2

The Next Generation
One generation will declare Your works to the next
and will proclaim Your mighty acts.
Psalms 145:4 HCSB
This past Sunday I had the privilege of being able to step into the pulpit of my home church during the 11:00 service and deliver a message that God has laid upon my heart for a long time now. I was talking about “The Next Generation”. Those who will follow after us, are watching us and are trusting us to do what is right.
I had to break the sermon into two parts due to the length of the podcast. Part two will be posted on Thursday of this week.
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.
Dad, Know Your Power

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.

Are You Hearing or Listening?
• 0 Comments
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?
• 0 Comments
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…
Is This Your Life Dad?
• 0 Comments
Dads (and moms out there), Do you live life? Are you there in the moment when it is happening? Or, are you like this video shows? It is nice to have moments captured for us to look at later on in life. However, we can spend way to much time capturing the moment instead of…
The Race – Part 2 – Get Set
• 0 Comments
Hey dads, what do you do to “Get Set”? Well I guess it would depend on what exactly you were going to do, would it not? I mean if you were getting ready to go snow ski, I don’t think you would get the sun tan lotion out and put on a swim suit and…
The Day I Baptized For The First Time
• 0 Comments
My son had already accepted Jesus as his personal Savior a few months back, but was a bit scared about the whole baptism thing. He did not want to go up in front of all the people of the church and have them looking at him. However this past December,
The Race – Part 1 – On Your Mark
• 0 Comments
“On Your Mark” In a few months, I will be hearing those words in my head. I will be running in “The Color Run” in Atlanta with some friends and getting hit with corn starch from head to toe! Last year was my first time running a race on purpose. On a regular note, if…
