I know I’m probably always just one word away from offending somebody with all my Bible thumping. By the way, I carry my Bible around in a Logos app. So, thumping it would look kinda crazy. Anyway… I might also be one word away from encouraging a really great day. I believe God wants me to try. And I also say that because here … Read the rest…

If you’re a parent or family on a budget, you probably like seeing that familiar sign: Kids Eat Free. But what if you took them into a restaurant where the free food was a mud pie recipe? I bet free wouldn’t look so good. There’s no mud pie recipe good enough for kids to eat free. I spent my growing up years mostly in … Read the rest…
I’ll bet you didn’t know about a famous magazine called the Saturday Evening Post. Or if you did, I’ll bet you didn’t know it’s been around for about 300 years.

I never heard of that before. And I’m still not sure what it’s all about. But, so far, Lingokids bubbles videos seem cute … Read the rest…
It isn’t scientific. And it rhymes. So my book about the first 6 days of creation might not be appropriate for the intellectual Christian. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the apostle Paul would enjoy reading it. And I might even go as far as to say I don’t even think Jesus would have a problem with it. And He was the only one … Read the rest…
I bet you’ve seen ’em too. Videos of kids and puppies playing are all over YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and probably every other social media platform. But why? It certainly can’t be the cuteness factor. Because, really, kids and puppies playing is just plain boring. Right? I mean, if you’ve seen one kids and puppies video, you’ve seen them all. And it’s not like they’re … Read the rest…
