Erin O'Donnell has written an article warning of a great danger to America's children, but it isn't anything that you would have ever expected. (Unless you read the title of this post.) She's telling us that a great danger to the children of our nation is....um...hey, you clearly...

005 – The Seven Silly Eaters

This story is about the wonderful life we can have even in the midst of chaos. It’s also about what a blessing children are even though they are a lot of work. It’s also about working together as a team. I hope you will find as much enjoyment in...

058 – Interview with Elizabeth Sanguedolce

Children’s author Elizabeth Sanguedolce joins us on the podcast to tell us about her first book “My Life by Fallon the Traveling Cat“. She also reminds us of the importance to encouraging children to read, and encouraging adults to read also! It makes a huge long term positive impact...

002 – The Barefooted Princess

Do you ever get afraid of what others will say about you? Do you want to be accepted by others? Has anyone ever made fun of you or made you feel inferior? This story is about being focused on what God thinks rather than what others think. by Jarod...

027 – Why Prepare?

What’s the point of preparation? What is a reasonable scenario? (Not the cooky ones that say aliens have poisoned the food supply so they can take over our nation by mind control, but only Jewish people are immune…. you get the idea.) Am I prepared to live for even...

022 – Pitfalls of Easy Parenting

Easy parenting, or perhaps more precisely “selfish parenting”, is a very subtle yet seductive danger to our children. It is remarkably tempting, when our children need training of various kinds, to put it aside because it would be too hard, time consuming, or inconvenient. Yet the danger to our...

Children at Church: The Place for Inter-Generational Worship

My friends, here is a topic I have grown more confident about as the years have passed. Should children worship with their parents during the Sunday morning service, or should they be sent away to a special “Children’s Church” in another room? (Or sometimes a completely different building.) I...

I always wondered if the airbags would deploy

Sometimes over the past four years I have looked down at the "SRS" light on the dashboard of my '95 Honda Accord and wondered (thinking it had something to do with the airbags) if they would deploy if I ever had an accident or just got bumped in the...

The Un-story of Jesus

We were given a children’s book from a dear friend called “The Story of Jesus.” It s a “little golden book” for those of you familiar with that. Now this friend certainly meant well and was genuinely being generous, for which we are grateful, and perhaps did not realize...

Basketball and a blessing

First, a quick thank you for all the kind birthday wishes. They were enjoyed by us all, and I give an extra special thank you to my hijacking wife for loving me so tenderly and unconditionally. You made it a wonderful birthday darling. I love you! Last night, for...

Permission to Parent

Not long ago Anna and I came across and article by Rod Arters which we thought was funny and interesting, but also something a lot of parents need to see. Some of these seem like no brainers, but it’s nice to see Biblical foundation for them any way. (I...
