As I write this we have been without running water for 24 hours. We are in the middle of replacing our 31-year-old furnace. It was supposed to be an easy job – five days – in and out – no problem. Only yesterday they accidentally drilled through the water pipe to our house. In 1992 when…

I recently read this article by Jeannie Fulbright on journaling. Once again I was reminded of the importance of journaling. I’ve kept a journal since I became a Christian.

I wrote the following article in 2009 for TEACH magazine. Just recently I’ve once again been exposed to a number of posts and articles on modesty. As I read this again I realized its message is as relevant today as it was in 2009 so I’ve decided to post it here. I have a young adult…

I think the biggest reason we are succeeding is that we have all taken responsibility for being good sheep. I’m going to assume that all or most of you believe that the father is the head of the home – the shepherd. A shepherd is only as good as his sheep.
