We are those parents who if in a hurry will run through McDonalds to get the kids a quick meal. (I know this is not good for them and we should be feeding them nothing but vegan friendly diets, but that is just not us) The problem with doing this “from time to time” is … More McDs, Children & Everything New
It’s a typical Wednesday for me. On these days I start at 7:30am and don’t usually get completely done with my day until 7pm that night. I only come home for a little bit to grab what I need and head out the door. Every time I leave Gavin asks me the same question, “Where … More “Where You Going Daddy?”
You turned 4 years old yesterday! Man you have gotten big! Where has the time gone! You are still my little man. In reality, you always will be. Even when you don’t think so.

The other day Rylee said this prayer: “Thank you for helping us when we are broken!” The Gavin followed by asking Jennifer how God fixes us. He then went on to list that God fixes all our body parts, and how he fixes our hearts and when he lays us down, he holds us in … More Faith Like A Child
Pretty soon she will be all grown up. She has no idea what affect she will have on people. She has no idea what affect she has on me. I wonder how she will use her beauty? I wonder how she will use her influence? Will I have taught her enough? Will I have shown … More The Age of Innocence
“Daddy, Gavin pooped his pants!” “Where is it at?” “I didn’t poop my pants, I pooped on the skateboard; there it is! Sorry!” I couldn’t believe it! I mean a big ole’ plop of poop right there on his skateboard in a tightly formed ball. His clothes were still on! How did he do that?!? … More Skateboards, Poop & A Handful of Patience
Corrie Ten Boom had stumbled upon a poem that had the word sexsin among its lines. And so, seated next to Father in the train compartment, I suddenly asked, “Father, what is sexsin?” He turned to look at me, as he always did when answering a question, but to my surprise he said nothing.
