I just read an article that says by the time a child reaches 11 years of age majority will have already been introduced to pornography in some way or another. Does this make anyone else sick? Angry? Confused? Scared? I have a 7 year old daughter and according to the latest statistics I should be … More Porn Attack
The movie wasn’t what she had thought. You could see the mess that was her emotions swelling up inside. We were about to experience WW3 or at least see what an exploding watermelon looks like. She screamed, she flailed, she ran to her room. She demanded, I mean demanded, another movie; a better movie. And … More When Saying No Hurts
Well sickness finally struck me. And at just the perfect time, when Jennifer is going out of town for 5 days. Just me and the kids. They will be relying on me to take care of them.

When I am down my family picks me up. My family show me glimpses of God everyday. I was lost without them and didn’t even know it. In them I have been found. With them I am happy. Where do you find joy?
I take my son to a play place. My son is getting older & more daring. It is fun to watch. But there are some things he still seems nervous about. Things that he is still not quite sure he can do. So, he makes sure I go with him. “Daddy, stay behind me!” He … More Stay Behind Me
I could have played with him. I should have played with him. I would have played with him if… This picture says it all. I was too busy, too engrossed in what I was doing. I was too self-absorbed to stop and play with my son. So he did what he does best…he entertained himself. … More Could Of, Should of, Would of…
When did it happen? When did my baby girl get so big? I remember cuddling her, carrying her around with one arm, watching her take her first steps. Now she has earrings, carries purses and talks to boys…BOYS! (I’m gonna need a gun) I am so proud of her. She is turning into a beautiful … More Big Girls Don’t Cry! (But Dads Do!)
